The Milk Churn Loop cycling route explores the area between Godalming and the West Sussex border. Heading south out of Cobham the route heads up to Shere and the wooded areas beyond, before dropping down through Ewhurst and to Rudgwick near the border. The loop then swings round to the west skirting Godalming and Guildford before returning north.
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.
The Guildford Gravel Loop is flat for the first 35 km before climbing up past Chantry Wood to the top of St. Martha’s Hill.
The Windsor Alternative Loop cycling route differs from the Classic Loop in that it does not come back so directly. Rather than shadowing the river by Staines, this route turns up Crimp Hill and Callow Hill for a lumpier and more scenic return journey. It rejoins the usual route at Chertsey.
The Redhill Aerodrome Circuit cycling route heads south from Hampton Court Bridge, up over Box Hill before heading further south with a loop south of Reigate. There is an opportunity to stop at Redhill Aerodrome’s café to watch light aircraft take off and land. The route then heads north towards Kingston.
The West Wycombe Loop cycling route heads up the Thames Valley towards Marlow where it then makes a beeline to the edge of the Chilterns for a bit of climbing before the long descent back to London via Henley.
