Since we have a new Club HQ a modification of the Winter Loop course was required. Most of the route is unchanged, but it now ends at the top of Lammas Lane in Esher (a sting in the tail).
Flat
Short (fast) Lotus garage loop
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 (Shere Hell?!!) climb.
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.
A very flat route. Only 22 miles, take a break at Laleham if required.

Ben’s Blaster TT course
Coronavirus lockdown inspired TT. Flatish, fast, short, with minimal traffic lights.
Only 24 miles, 1000ft, starting from just past Esher Waitrose via Great Bookham and back to Esher just before the Milbourne Lane lights.
You can ride this route slowly as well!!
DV winter loop (up to Sept 2021)
This is the classic route for the DV winter chain gang. Flat, fast 20 miles average speed over 21mph!
See Facebook page for possible groups and times.
DV summer loop old version
This was the mid-week summer loop route out via Plough Lane to Shere (hell) Road. Fast descent into Cobham and the “bumps” into Esher!
New version created July 2020 due to this route crossing the green.
Windsor route through the park
A 39 mile, fairly flat, ride that goes through Chertsey and Virginia Water to Windsor Great Park. There is an option to stop at the Post Office in the park for coffee. Alternatively a slight diversion to The Windsor Farm Shop off Datchet Road.
Homeward via Staines and Laleham should have you ready for a beer at HQ!
Windsor-Fairoaks airport route
This is a classic DV ride. 44 miles with one gentle hill up from Windsor to Blacknest. It can be either a fast ride or a gentle leg stretcher!
Coffee and cake at Hanger Cafe and then only 12 miles until home!
Ripley Coffee Ride
This route is a great introduction to riding with a group. It is fairly flat and usually a gentle ride with not too much traffic. Coffee and cake in Ripley and back through the lanes to Cobham then Esher.
Windsor via Chobham
An alternative route to Windsor. 44 miles without any steep hills. Wiggle your way through Weybridge to Adlestone and out to Chobham. A fast descent into Windsor, through the town centre past the castle. Plenty of opportunities for coffee! A flat return leg via Staines and Laleham.
