Surrey Hills Killer Loop

Ride description

Starting from the time warp station at Box Hill & Westhumble you'll have some of the finest mountain biking terrain ahead of you. You'll be traveling along sections of the Greensand Way following the line of the Surrey Hills' unique green sand escarpment.

The Route

The ride will set off through the Denbies Wine Estate; amazingly europe's biggest Vineyard in single ownership. We'll take in The Rookery, Leith Hill, Holmbury Hill, Peaslake, Pitch Hill, Winterfold Wood, and Shere, before returning via the North Downs or, alternatively, the proposed route of National Cycle Network 22.

We will of course have the option to stop for refreshments at Coldharbour, Leith Hill Tower and Peaslake Village Stores.

Is this ride right for me?

Please read the following description. If this sounds like you, then you're perfect for this ride:

• This is a Level 3 ride and therefore you should be already confident and competent in all aspects of our Level 3 course - Singletrack Improver
• You have moderate experience of riding off road and will have tried blue and perhaps red graded singletrack trails before at a trail centre or similar venue
• You have your own mountain bike
• You can already ride confidently on narrow singletrack trails with small rocks, roots and steps
• You exercise at least twice a week and at least one of these sessions is on a bike
• You can ride moderately steep terrain at a steady pace
• You can ride for at least six hours comfortably in a day
• You are aged 18 and over unless accompanied by an adult also participating on the course

If this sounds a little beyond your current skill and fitness level, please consider participating in one of our Singletrack Improver courses first.
