North London and Herts Cycling Routes

Cycling routes in North London and Hertfordshire, built and ridden by London Dynamo members for club rides and race training. Expect routes close to home, with park roads, short hills and quiet lanes.

These routes run north from the city to Panshanger Park, Hatfield House and Ferny Hill Farm, and include a dedicated hill training route. Ride leaders can use them to plan a club ride. We recommend that every rider loads the route onto their Garmin or Wahoo bike computer.

Each route has a GPX file, an interactive map, an elevation profile, distance and climbing figures, a Terrain label from flat to challenging, and cafe stops where we have them, so you can match a route to the group and the day.

Ride at your own risk

The routes in this Route Book have been researched with the intention that they are suitable for cycling, but not all routes have been physically road-tested. Even routes that have been ridden may contain hazards, including potholes, loose chippings, poor road surfaces, steep descents and unforeseen dangers. Road and traffic conditions can change at any time. Anyone choosing to ride a route from this Route Book does so entirely at their own risk and is responsible for assessing whether the route and conditions are suitable for them.
