A collect-the-set route through the Surrey Hills with nine significant climbs racking up nearly 1900m of climbing:
1. Chapel Lane
2. Ranmore
3. Box Hill
4. Boar Hill
5. Leith Hill
6. Holmbury Hill
7. Bar Hatch
8. Halfpenny Lane
9. Combe Lane
Starting point: The Coppernose, Hampton Court
Suggested nutrition & hydration stop: Heartwork Café Bar (61 km).
This gravel route takes us a largely off-road route from Hampton Court Palace heading south-east out of Surrey and into Kent where it descends off the north ridge of the Downs and winds its way offroad to Churchill’s family home of Chartwell. It then heads through woods of Toys Hill before the return leg back to Surrey.
The Virginia Water Loop cycling route is a shorter alternative to the Windsor rides with a picturesque loop around Virginia Water, with a café stop overlooking the water.
The Biggin Hill Loop cycling route is a relatively quick blast out of South London, around the top of the first ridge of the Downs by Biggin Hill.
The Barhatch Blinder is a a four-hill cycling route in the Surrey Hills: Staple Lane, Row Lane, Barhatch Lane and Whitedown Lane.
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 Shere Loop cycling route into the Surrey Hills ups the elevation a bit. Rather than using Staple Lane to climb to Shere, this route takes Shere Road and Combe Lane up to the woodlands where there is then a loop with a series of climbs and descents including St. Martha’s Hill, Alderbook Road and Sandy Lane.
