The Heathrow Airport Loop is the perfect setting for a high-tempo time trial with a relatively unimpeded flat loop around the airport.
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.
Not content to go up Leith Hill once? Try going up and down it eight times from different angles. This is a gruelling ride with little recovery between climbs and nearly 2500m of elevation.
The Frensham Pond cycling route in the Surrey Hills heads out to the heathland and ponds beyond Guildford. After one large climb up Staple Lane to the Shere Woodlands the route turns away from the hills and begins a rolling route. Looping wide of Guildford, it heads through heathland to the area south of Godalming. From there it takes a loop around the ponds at Frensham.
This Effingham Forest gravel circuit explores the western end of the Surrey Hills with a steep section up to Netley Heath and Effingham Forest.
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 Easter Loop cycling route is a long ride out to the picturesque countryside north of Chelmsford, including the villages of Good Easter and High Easter into Essex.
