London Dynamo | Deep Kent Woods Cycling Route

Shere Loop

The Shere Loop cycling route into the Surrey Hills ups the elevation a bit. Rather than using Staple Lane to climb to Shere, this route takes Shere Road and Combe Lane up to the woodlands where there is then a loop with a series of climbs and descents including St. Martha’s Hill, Alderbook Road and Sandy Lane.

Tour of the Isle of Wight

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.

Wendover Loop

The Wendover Loop cycling route takes a steady climb out of West London, leaving London north of Uxbridge before heading into the heart of the Chilterns.

The Kentish Kraken

The Kentish Kraken winds its way across two ridges of the Downs (crossing the southern ridge four times!). Climbs include Crockham Hill, Brasted Chart (the steadier but longer north side of Toys Hill), and Ide Hill.

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.

The Henry VIII Gravel Loop

The Henry VIII gravel loop extends the Chartwell loop. Rather than heading over to Chartwell and Toys Hill, it heads further south to Hever Castle (home of the Boleyns hence the route name), Chiddingstone castle & village before a steep climb up Yorks Hill and the return leg to Surrey.
