• Hi, Looks like a great ride! I'm Purley-on-Thames born and raised (in fact you're going just past my house), so thought I might offer a little bit of unsolicited advice.

    Firstly I'd think about extending the route down into Sulham woods further south- there are loads of bike tracks in the woods and you can follow the contours of the hill down until you reach Wilder's Folly and then drop down onto Nunhide lane (farm track) back up north and onto Sulham lane (or parallel footpath) up to Pangbourne.

    Secondly, I personally wouldn't fancy riding up Streatly Hill on a ride like this when heading up Rectory road and the double track onto the ridgeway just to the north of it is pretty nice.

    Hope you have a great ride, I might see you up the Ridgeway as have planned a ride out that way with a mate.
