This gravel route broadly mirrors the Frensham Pond Loop route in the Surrey Hills section but this time favours off-road tracks, exploring more of the heathland and Frensham Common itself in the south-western corner of Surrey.
The Knatt’s Valley cycling route goes a bit further east along the Pilgrim’s Way between the ridges of the Downs before turning left for a fairly steep climb up through Rowdow Wood. The route then descends into the picturesque Knatt’s Valley.
This relatively short cycling route is an introduction to the Surrey Hills and Box Hill in particular. The route climbs up to Ranmore Common, down the other side before the zig zag climb up to Box Hill. The route returns back to the start via Epsom.
The London to Oxford one-way route heads out west from Kingston, shadowing the Thames, through Twyford and Henley and on into the Chilterns.
The London-Brighton-London ride is another summer event. Starting just ahead of the official London-to-Brighton ride, London Dynamo’s event starts by Wandsworth Common before heading due south out of London and down through Sussex.
