There are two ways to approach this short 24 mile/38km route. Flat out or gentle with a coffee stop or a beer at the Duke of Wellington!
It is essentially the DV Summer loop without the Shere Hill (Sheer Hell?!!) climb.
Flat
Easy short route to Laleham
Taking a gentle route via Walton and along the river to Weybridge and Addlestone. The route uses some cycle paths to get to Chertsey bridge then along the river again to Laleham and back via Lower Sunbury.
