No-one mentioned the Surrey Hills yet. Having lived in Surrey for 10 odd years now – I can't explain how I only just came across this area, but at least I have now……
Previously did a nice 18 plus mile ride out from Wye, Kent a few times (taken from an MTB mag many years back) but just tried the Surrey Hills and it was great. Going back tomorrow.
Go to Coldharbour/Leith Hill or Westcott in Surrey (a mile or so from Dorking) and explore …….
I was lucky and found Nirvana Cycles in Westcott who also do rides and they were about to go out on one (Wednesday) so I joined them for a few hours – nice guys and really good to have a guide.
I was amazed that Surrey had such climbs ….. lots of nice singletrack too….
