A day in the Surrey Hills
Friday 25th April
This 60 km (40 mile) gravel ride takes you through the Surrey Hills, with a mix of sandy heaths, broadleaf woods, and pine forests.
The route includes the Hogs Back, Devil's Punch Bowl, and Frensham Lakes.
It's a relaxed all-day ride, with an easy pace and plenty of time for lunch and rest stops.
Intinerary
Meet outside Guildford Railway Station at 10 am. From there, we quickly head into open countryside, climbing the Hogs Back along an ancient trackway, before descending past Loosley Dairy Farm towards Milford.
We’ll gradually climb all the way to the Devil’s Punch Bowl at Hindhead for a quick coffee and snack stop at the National Trust Café, where we can take in the views north over the heathland and forests.
From here its downhill, there are some gnarly parts on the descent after which the track widens out as wind through the pine forests and open heathlands.
We'll stop for a late lunch/breather at the Farnham Brewery Tap.
Pass Waverly Castle ( remains of) and pick up the oddly named Christmas Pie Trail to the door of Guildford Cathedral.
The ride ends back at the station.
