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.

Ripley – Shipley with Staple Lane
As the name suggests this is a Nigel Shipley “encouragement ride”. A step up from a flat Ripley. 30 miles with a short climb up Staple lane and home for a beer!

Thanks to Martin for this:
This short ‘pretty’ ride is undulating with 1-2 hills of note, the biggest ascent being c. 400ft. Recommendation for lunch on the Stockbridge route is the White Lion at Wherwell which is only c.3 miles from the finish….
This route is shared by a Dittons Velo member from rides they have enjoyed – but these have not been ridden and tested for suitability by the club.
A short 30 mile Box Hill route
No Messing about. A 30mile route from Esher to Box Hill – just about as short as you can get to do BoxHill
From Effingham, it climbs up Beech Avenue/Critten Lane towards Ranmore.
Up Box Hill and back through Leatherhead.
