The cycle routes heading west away from Kingston and looping around Windsor are some of our most popular rides. The flat terrain either side of the Thames allows for some fast riding.
Some of these routes are designed very much for race hitters and those looking for sustained high intensity ride and start from Local Hero Café in Kingston. Others are more leisurely and start from Dish Café in East Molesey (opposite Hampton Court Station).
The Chertsey Loop is a relatively short, flat and free-flowing loop on fast roads and is designed for training stamina.
Starting point: Local Hero Café, Kingston.
The Fairoaks Airport Loop goes south of Chertsey out to the airfield at Fairoaks before looping back round for the same fast return route. There is an optional café stop for small groups at the Hangar Café at the airport.
Starting point: Local Hero Café, Kingston.
The Fast Windsor Loop is another route designed for a fast flat ride that uses the faster roads both into Windsor and back.
Starting point: Local Hero Café, Kingston.
Optional cafe stop: Cinnamon Café, Windsor Station.
The Classic Windsor Loop is a longstanding favourite of London Dynamo riders. The route out to Windsor is a rolling one, starting just south of the river before crossing at Walton-on-Thames.
After Chertsey the route heads into some leafy lanes, before bearing north through Windsor Great Park and on into central Windsor.
The route back is much more direct and with the wind probably at your back offers the chance for some fast sustained riding.
Starting point: Dish Café, East Molesey
Suggested café: The Cinnamon Café, Windsor Royal Station (44km).
The Windsor Alternative Loop 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.
Starting point: Dish Café, East Molesey.
Suggested café: The Cinnamon Café, Windsor Royal Station (44km).
The Belter is a route devised by the London Dynamo race team. It is a fast flowing loop out to Windsor and back. It heads on a southerly loop through Chobham and Ascot before heading out Drift Road as far as the roundabout at Birds Hill Golf Centre. There it does a U-turn and heads back through Windsor for a fast route back to Kingston.
Starting point: Local Hero Café, Kingston.
