Routes Database

Here's a route my mate devised that we rode last Friday.

Mainly aimed at not only getting some new roads in but also taking advantage of the 20 kph+ south westerly that was blowing along the south coast we used planes (almost), trains and got buzzed by automobiles on a nice loop.

Posting here as although I live in Epsom and started the ride there it should be available to all who are London based too (you just join the route at a different point).

I can share the route on Strava but for me it was roughly:

• ride 30km to an eerily quiet Gatwick
  
• train to Haywards Heath (ten minutes/£6.60)
  
• ride 150km to Folkstone
  
• train back to St Pancras (one hour/£23 - regular fast trains)
  
• ride across town to Waterloo
  
• train out to Stoneleigh
  
• ride home from there
  
  

I clocked 207 km on strava but I think some of that was a train journey, It should be circa 190 km total.

Although I used my road bike there were a few gravel/beach sections so a gravel bike can be used too. Having said that it's very doable on a road bike but perhaps don't take your best one.

Here's my vid of the day to give you a flavour of the ride
