The London Dynamo Route Book brings together the best road cycling routes from London – built, ridden, and refined by club members over decades of riding. Every route comes with a downloadable GPX file, an interactive map, full elevation profile, and distance data, so you know exactly what you’re taking on before you clip in.
From fast, flat loops designed for high-intensity training to long Surrey Hills epics taking in Box Hill, Ranmore Common, and Leith Hill, there’s a route for every objective and every day on the bike. Routes range from 14km sprint circuits to 100km+ endurance days, with elevation gains from a handful of metres to well over 1,500m – all clearly displayed so you can match the ride to your ambitions. Head south through the Thames Valley for rolling, traffic-light roads, or east into the Kent hills for quiet lanes that feel a world away from the city. North through Hertfordshire and the Chilterns, steady climbs build the kind of endurance that pays off on race day. Essex opens up for big, open roads ideal for nailing your power targets.
Whether you’re building a training block, prepping for a sportive, training for a race or just want an exceptional day in the saddle – start here.
