A rather odd couple quit everything to travel the world on bikes....

Richmond Park to Chessington and Epsom - Off Road route

This is a mainly off road route starting and ending at Sheen Gate in Richmond Park. Initially the route goes through Richmond Park and leaves at Kingston gate where you pick up the river route to Hampton Court. From here there is a bit of road riding around Thames Ditton and Claygate. Around Chessington there are miles of interlinked bridleways which take you across the North Downs to Epsom. Some fairly exciting singletrack downhills (exciting that is, for a beginner). From Epsom I came home pretty much entirely on the road, I'm sure I could have found more bridleways but at least the road return meant I didn't take all day. Ends with a final blast in Richmond Park.
