A collect-the-set route through the Surrey Hills with nine significant climbs racking up nearly 1900m of climbing.
The Hatfield House Loop cycling route heads up through North London via the Swains Lane climb in Highgate, and then heads directly up through Potters Bar to the Hertfordshire countryside just south of Hertford and Welwyn Garden City. The route passes Hatfield House before the southerly leg heads back to Regents Park via Hampstead Heath.
This gravel 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.
The Ferny Hill Farm Loop cycling route climbs steadily up from Regents Park through Belsize Park, Hampstead and other leafy suburbs before heading into the green belt, with some relatively fast straight roads, before turning back towards London over Muswell Hill, down through Highgate and back to the park.
