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 Surrey Trails & Hills gravel route heads down to the Box Hill area for a loop before continuing on to Ranmore Common, White Downs and Effingham Forest.
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).
If speed endurance is what you are looking to build, Drift Road offers a long flat straight.
The London to Whitstable one-way cycling route heads south over Crystal Palace, out of London, before the climb up the side of Biggin Hill.
The Tour of the Isle of Wight is now a London Dynamo summer tradition. After an early morning ferry from Portsmouth, the route goes anti-clockwise round the island, taking in the chain link ferry at Cowes, the steep climb up to the view point of the Needles and the fast but breezy Military Road.
