Starting point: Regent’s Park Bar & Kitchen, Regent’s Park, London.
The Ranmore special is an unusual HITR route – comparatively flat but with the eponymous lump in the middle.
The Aldbury Loop cycling route heads north out of Regents Park and Hampstead and skirts south of Watford, out into the countryside and the eastern, Hertfordshire, end of the Chilterns with a loop around Aldbury Common back to London.
The Henry VIII gravel loop extends the Chartwell loop. Rather than heading over to Chartwell and Toys Hill, it heads further south to Hever Castle (home of the Boleyns hence the route name), Chiddingstone castle & village before a steep climb up Yorks Hill and the return leg to Surrey.
A good route that heads along the south bank of the Thames for a while before heading south to the Surrey Hills.
The Twyford Drift route is a fast and flat route out to Twyford via Drift Road and back via Windsor.
This London to Brighton one-way cycling route starts from Clapham Old Town and then follows the official London-Brighton route, ploughing straight through South London, on through the heart of Sussex before the steep climb up Ditching Beacon and very fast descent down to the coast.
