London Dynamo | Dorney Loop Cycling Route

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.

London to Constable Country

This long but relatively flat one-way cycling route leaves London via the City, skirting the top of East London and heading straight through Epping Forest and the wider northern Essex countryside, before ultimately reaching the ‘Constable Country’ of Dedham Vale National Landscape and the Stour Estuary at the Suffolk border.

London to Brighton to London

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.

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.

The Surrey Octopus

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.

Shoreham Loop

The Shoreham Loop cycling route initially follows the line of the Chartwell Loop but then heads further south in a loop around Hever, up through Chiddingstone, before the long climb up Hubbards Hill. Skirting around Sevenoaks, the route goes through the pretty village of Shoreham before the wooded climb up Chelfield Lane (not one to do after heavy rain) before the leg back to London.

Dorney Loop

Thames Valley cycling route upstream to Maidenhead and back down past Dorney Court.
