Surrey 50 - a gentler tour of the Surrey Hills

Half the distance of the London 100 – and probably under half the pace – it is an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty so might as well look at it. As we can’t get the roads closed for us we will aim for quieter alternatives where possible. It is quite hilly. Use back roads to Brooklands for coffee then put up with some main road to Byfleet before turning off for Pyrford and quiet lanes before the North Downs. (If you think that Box Hill is a climb!) After an interesting descent Lunch at the Compasses Inn at Gomshall . The main road into Dorking isn’t too trafficky and we soon get to Box Hill from where we take my favourite switchback descent to Kingston and so home. http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/olympic-leisure
