Gravel / Merstham loop

Difficulty

Intermediate.

Overview

This ride is mainly off road and it follows bridleways and footpaths. Some parts can be challenging and will require wide knobbly tires. Be ready for the off-road box hill climb which is a bit more than halfway into the ride. I rode this track in winter and I was glade to have some knobbly tires as it was very muddy in some parts.

Polesden Lacey Coffee Shop

Halfway into the ride make a pit stop at the Polesden Lacey Coffee Shop. It is part of the National trust.
