The Classic Surrey Hills (shorter version) cycling route tackles three of the local hills. Firstly, the route tackles Staple Lane which rises up to the Shere Woodlands before a steep descent down Combe Lane, followed by a hard right and second sharp climb up Crock North through Effingham Forest to Ranmore Common. The subsequent descent down through Ashcombe Wood is followed by the iconic Box Hill climb. This in turn is followed by a long descent and the return leg to East Molsey.
The Deep Kent Woods cycling route extends the Chiddingstone-based routes with a longer loop deeper into Kent (indeed to the edge of East Sussex).
The Ranmore special is an unusual HITR route – comparatively flat but with the eponymous lump in the middle.
The North London Hill Training circuit is a short cycling route starting in Regents Park, and involves some fairly tough climbs such as the long climb up to Hampstead, Swain’s Lane in Highgate and Alexandra Palace Way.
