Ruislip Lido

Highlight • Rest Area

You can cycle round the Lido but it gets very busy at the weekend and in the summer is packed during holidays on sunny days. Beware of dog walkers with extending leads. It is great to cycle through Ruislip Woods to the Lido if you have a trail bike, but horses use the paths and churn it up after rain so it is almost impassable. The best time to go is very early in the morning in the summer, beautiful, especially if the mist is around.

Chenies Climb and Village

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Coming from Chesham along the River Chess this is a fairly quiet road that has nice views on the left hand side. It then climbs up into Chenies, the ascent is not too long at around 500m and averaging 5%.

Scenic Country Road in the Chilterns

Highlight • Cycleway

quiet lanes in every direction. Not flat, but not proper climbs either, especially compared to other roads in the area.

View of Ivinghoe Beacon and Surrounding Hills

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A fun descent, if ascending you get some great views of Ivinghoe Beacon and surrounding hills

Red Lion Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A nice hill that has a few false summits when climbing. The surface is usually a bit potholey/gritty on the way down, so watch yourself.

Croxley Green at Sunrise

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nothing special from a cycling perspective, but looks pretty in the right light, and the Crazy Goat Cafe in Croxley is good and has space for a couple of bikes.

Brevet style ride out from the London suburbs across the Chilterns and back on some nice country roads. I was the only rider not on a road machine so ended up riding solo the whole way - kinda how I like it 😜
