Day Rides homeday rides Updated 25 October 2007

If you like to cycle in the South East of England (Hampshire, West Sussex, Surrey, Berkshire), here are some routes to explore.  These are accessible by train or car from London.

PDF documents for the rides are courtesy of Tracklogs mapping software, which I've used to create the .trl files for downloading into a GPS if you've got one.  Times on the route cards assume you are taking a relaxed approach, riding at 8 - 10 mph.
