John’s Penny Farthing route
Having driven up Farthing Downs, John Scarth decided it would be nice to cycle there to take in the views and the history. Neolithic origins – The beginnings of the pastoral landscape we know today as Farthing Downs very likely began when, over 2000 years ago, visitors brought animals with them to graze the meadows […]
DV Surrey Circumnavigation
A DV mega ride! The route follows the outline of the Surrey County electoral boundary as near as is possible (and sensible) using roads. I could have cut off some chunks but then it wouldn’t be true to the concept. Distance 158.5 miles / 252 km Climbing 8600 ft / 2620 m Estimated ride rime […]
Critten-Box. Two hills.
A nice stretch of the legs or maybe a graduation from flat ride. Your choice! This ride climbs twice.

Coffee at the cafe and head home. […]

Mayes Green
This is a route I rode and then noticed that other DV members were doing the identical ride a few days later! To me, it is simply Forest Green and beyond, to some quiet lanes. The return leg goes up Leith Hill and down Coldharbour to Dorking. There is a fair amount of climbing to […]
