A tough ride on a motor traffic free route, following the Waterlink Way through South London, Croydon, and then crossing the North Downs to Redhill.

Expect steep ascents, steep descents, mud, great views, solitude and a great sense of achievement.

On a good day, this ride can be extended to Gatwick Airport.

I completed the ride solo on a very snowy day in January. It took four hours.
