Cranleigh, Surrey

By road: Leave the M25 at J10 and take the A3 towards Guildford. Take A281 and B2128 /B2127 to Cranleigh

By train: Guildford station is just over 8 miles away. South Western Railway operates services to London Waterloo. Southbound destinations include: Portsmouth Harbour, Haslemere and Farnham. Great Western Railway operates services to Reading and to Redhill, and less frequently extended to Gatwick Airport. Southern operate limited services to London Bridge. CrossCountry operates a daily service to Newcastle.

By bus: Frequent bus services connect Cranleigh with other local towns and villages, and extend out to Guildford and Horsham.

Starting & finishing in Cranleigh, our road heads North towards Abinger Hammer and then over to Denbies. The major climb of the day is up to Coldharbour and lasts for about 7km before dropping into Holmbury St Mary for a coffee stop. It is mostly rolling from here with one last stop at Firebird brewery for a celebratory pint. As with all gravel rides, we check the routes constantly as things can change much more than on a road ride. The final route is subject to change and will be emailed to you one week before the ride with a full ride brief.

Start Time : From 7.45am

Finish time : Between 12pm and 2pm

Our events are open to all off-road bikes. While it is aimed primarily at gravel & adventure bikes, which are essentially fat tyred drop bar bikes, you are also most welcome on a mountain bike or cyclocross bike. We recommend a tyre width of 33+mm for most for our rides.

What to bring: You will be further from van support or facilities you would find in most towns than with our road trips, so it is advisable to take a little more with you: GPS device with route loaded; spare tube or tubeless plug, pump and/or CO2, mini tool, jacket and/or additional layers

We will email you the GPX route & a full breakdown of the route one week before the ride. Our route director will then be at the start to give you last minute advice and tips. You will be asked to select a start window which we will then confirm one week before the ride to ensure you roll out in group sizes based on current restrictions.
