Recent routes

Chartwell Loop

The Chartwell Loop cycling route heads over the north ridge of the Downs and, once through Westerham and up Hosey Hill, the route follows a forested loop around Chartwell and Toys Hill. Brasted Hill adds some further spice on the return leg back to London.

Windsor Alternative Loop

The Windsor Alternative Loop cycling route differs from the Classic Loop in that it does not come back so directly. Rather than shadowing the river by Staines, this route turns up Crimp Hill and Callow Hill for a lumpier and more scenic return journey. It rejoins the usual route at Chertsey.

Surrey Hills River Loop

A good route that heads along the south bank of the Thames for a while before heading south to the Surrey Hills.

London to Oxford

The London to Oxford one-way route heads out west from Kingston, shadowing the Thames, through Twyford and Henley and on into the Chilterns.

Frensham Ponds Gravel Edition

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.

Biggin Hill Loop

The Biggin Hill Loop cycling route is a relatively quick blast out of South London, around the top of the first ridge of the Downs by Biggin Hill.
