London Dynamo | Mini Surrey Hills Cycling Route

The Dirty Belgie Gravel Loop

The Dirty Belgie Gravel Loop is a clockwise cycling route starting in Richmond Park that crosses Wimbledon Common, before heading uphill to the woods between Chessington and Oxshott.

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.

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.

Lee Valley & Epping Forest Gravel

This gravel route heads up past the lakes and marshes of the Lee Valley before looping back down through Epping Forest. The route up the valley passes the Walthamstow Wetlands, Waltham Abbey, Lee Valley Country Park and the River Lee Navigation canal. The return leg heads first out into open farmland before heading right through the heart of Epping Forest before back into London.

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.

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.
