Part 1 of the Trilogy: the rollercoaster
Designed to be ridden across several days (unless you’re into ultra), the London Revolution loop is an epic loop that crosses six different counties and showcases the shifting landscape of London's Green Belt.
It is predominantly a road-cycling route that relies on quiet country lanes, rolling hills, and occasional cycle paths.
I’ll lead 3 different rides, one in June, one in July and one in August - always on a Saturday as long as the weather is good.
Rough distance: <80km, 900m elevation
Meet a outside Stratford Station from 9:00, we start rolling at 9:15 sharp (if you’re based in south London we can potentially regroup at some point along the route)
11:30 at Km 44 Lamingtons tea room, 25 High St, Bletchingley, Redhill RH1 4PB
14:00 Top of Box hill for group picture and lunch
Please note this is a Steady ride keeping a medium and constant pace with only one main stop.
🌟 Vibe & Style: steady to speedy pace rural ride on beautiful country lanes, significant climbs.
📐 Distance: 80km ~5h Inc stop
↗️ Total Climb: 900
📍 Meeting Point: Stratford station (NOT international)
🚃 Train Info: return trains from Dorking (or ride back to London)
🏅 Suitability & Experience Level: sig. distance and climb so discuss if concerned
🚴♀️ Pace(s): Steady+ – 25+ kph on flats, but plenty of climbing. Split no drop if the group size sufficient. You will need a road bike (city bikes or hybrid bikes NOT recommended)
🆕 New Riders: New to the club? Please get in touch to discuss the suitability of the ride for you. We're happy to help you find the right ride!
Do bring:
✅ sunscreen, windbreaker
✅ multitool, hand pump, inner tubes
✅ phone holder to follow the route, power bank & cables
✅ water and snacks - as we will only do one stop do bring enough food you can eat on the bike, you will need fuel ;)
📱Route on Device: You must have the route downloaded and accessible on a usable device.
Looking forward to riding with you! 🚴♂️n
Take a close look at the full Trilogy for what’s to come in July and August (potentially we will end or start at different points very close to the “official” route) https://www.komoot.com/tour/2301610155?ref=itd&share_token=aAf6pZa81H6kLRJyUp2vjPVZh3FYDak6rD2w7il4dNGNHO7Oje&ref=its
