Hi all, wasn't sure if there's a more appropriate place to ask this!
My girlfriend's been cycling properly for the first time in years during the last few months, just nipping around London and the parks.
She's keen to ramp it up a bit, good fitness from regular running but no real cycling experience outside of functional needs, and we're both on single speeds. Does anyone have recommendations for roughly 20 mile, largely flat, rides that get us out of London and onto some quieter roads (ideally with some green scenery)? I'm east and she's west so can head out from any direction really, or happy to jump on the train and go from elsewhere if anyone has any good tips!
For reference, I did the 40 mile Dirty Wkend loop of Waltham Forest/Nazeing/Epping yesterday, but that would be way too much for her in terms of both distance and hills.
Thanks!
