The Chartwell Gravel Loop cycling route takes us a largely off-road route from Hampton Court Palace heading south-east out of Surrey and into Kent where it descends off the north ridge of the Downs and winds its way offroad to Churchill’s family home of Chartwell. It then heads through woods of Toys Hill before the return leg back to Surrey.
Starting point: Coppernose Café, Hampton Court.
Suggested café: Landmare Café, Chartwell (56km).
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.
This Effingham Forest gravel circuit explores the western end of the Surrey Hills with a steep section up to Netley Heath and Effingham Forest.
The West Wycombe Loop cycling route heads up the Thames Valley towards Marlow where it then makes a beeline to the edge of the Chilterns for a bit of climbing before the long descent back to London via Henley.
Following the same alternative route out of London as the Bayley Hill Loop but this time going on to Shoreham for a wider circuit back to London.
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.
