Routes Database

Anyone ever discussed compiling these routes into a book, proceeds to the forum a la DBAD stickers? Could be a fun project, especially with the combined design talents on here.

Looks good! Good to see Brockley Footpath on there.

Harefield Mews between Cranford/Harefield roads by Brockley station has some mean cobbles. Brockley deli there for a bit of fuel.

Also, by Hilly Fields, there is an alley from Overcliff Rd to hilly fields - Whitepost Lane I think. Starts with a 15 metre steep cobbled section at the Overcliff road end.

Not been up Brockley footpath since the sad, sad closure of Nunhead reservoir. Wah.

Cheers, I've added those.

Does anyone have any route files they'd care to share for the regions South and/or East of Geraardsbergen and Ronse?

I'm heading there for a long weekend and I know the region west of there, Oudenaarde and it's surrounding areas, really well so looking to explore some new territory this year.

rep for this, looks fun

plus points for including the beast from the south east, canonbie hill

Disgracefully I've realised I've steered you slightly wrong - the tiny cobbled climb at the end of Whitepost Lane is the bit between Sandrock and Overcliff Road, as circled in the screenshot below.

Disgraceful.

I've now changed the start - a full rep of Greenwich Park hill which must be on the cobbles, with a descent on the single track.

That little cobble climb is awesome! All of a sudden, I was in Yorkshire, in the 30s, delivering vegetables.

bit off topic but didn't want to start thread, anybody ridden this before/planning to? https://yorkshiretruegrit.co.uk

Anyone got a nice route from central or south London to Bournemouth?

The "Greenwich Park Gutter" is truly one of the great cobbled climbs.

Would make an amazing Hill Climb contest. Spectators within licking distance.

It was included in this year's London Classic (aka Cobblemonster) ride. Its first appearance.

It's great isn't it?

Anyone got a nice route from London to Sheffield? Got a stag do in June, good opportunity to get some riding in.

I'm looking to head out to Box Hill tomorrow, overnight with my tarp + bivvy (weather looks decent) then cycle back the day after. Using this as practice for the Swansea - Bangor coastal ride some friends and I have planned for this summer.

I'm based in Tooting and have never cycled out to the Surrey Hills though. So far I'm just browsing strava routes and routes I've found on here and hopefully one of them seems alright and is easy enough to follow. Anything I should know though?

Thinking about riding down to Paris to visit a friend for a couple of days. Looking for a good route and general tips!

Seems like a lot of asking in this thread and not too many answers but trying anyway

Anyone have any routes from London up to Shropshire or beyond that I could follow heading to Shrewsbury?

In the end I used strava to route to Sheffield with popularity on and it was pretty good. Lots of nice roads, not too many bad ones. I went some of the way on national cycle routes, slow, bumpy and boring, would not recommend!

@Fox has a good one, we did that trip a couple of years ago.

I'm going to be around Southwold/Lowestoft coastal area -- looking for a ride around there. Any suggestions?

edit: i find it annoying that i might have to buy a book: http://www.suffolkcoastandheaths.org/publications/walking-and-cycling-guides/cycle-routes/#http://www.sch.onesuffolk.net/publications/ordering-publications/

You could go into Nunhead Cemetery and do a lap of the outer parameter. Theres a decent bit of gravel there.

@r_mash Start from Southwold, and then you could continue all the way to Wells-the-Sea very easily if you wanted to

The ‘tour de suffolk’ including the ferry across the Deben from Bawdsey to Felixstowe Ferry. You up there for Latitude?
