Headley Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Not the steepest or longest but the changing gradient and poor surface makes it harder than it looks, and hard to get it right (I never do)! A few nice sections covered in trees.

Headley Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A great alternative to Box Hill in both directions, especially at the weekend when Box can be very busy. Undulating all the way, but very quiet and mostly car-free.

Box Hill Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Box Hill is the classic zig-zag climb made famous by the Ride London UCI race and Ride 100 charity event... and it's actually a lot easier than it looks (although …

Steep Forest Road Climb

Highlight • Forest

Your legs will hurt after this hill. It has grafient up to 22%

Furnace Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is one of my favourite country lanes and is featured in the book Lost Lanes (No. 3). It follows the route of Kent Water and is an absolutely gorgeous route through a little valley.

Tip by

86.8 km

An average of 8% with a maximum of 18% this 2.5km hill just keeps on giving. Starting fairly softly for the first 1km and then gradually getting steeper and steeper without relenting until you reach the top.

Toys Hill Northern Ascent

Highlight • Trail

Col du Skelly Monument

Highlight • Climb

I actually made the monument to Paul who was a friend, fellow father (our kids went to school together), customer (Cadence) and fellow cyclist. I had seen a picture of …

Skid Hill Lane View

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Skid Hill Lane sounds like it should be the home 30% gradients or a well-know crash site. But instead it is a very pleasant and largely quiet lane that will …

Saltbox Hill Road Climb

Highlight • Trail

Feels steeper than 15% in the middle!

Chelsfield Lane Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Gentle climb staying away from Court Road traffic

Road to Kent Downs National Park

Highlight • Trail

This winding road takes you away from the hustle and bustle of the city and into the serene countryside, depending on your direction. A short drive further east will lead you to the beautiful Kent Downs National Park.

Mottingham Lane Green Chain Walk

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This is my favourite escape route from south-east London to the beautiful Kent countryside.

What to expect:
Two small rises in the road – one over Burnt Ash Green and …
