Discover some new routes in the South East with our Secret Surrey Hills & South Downs weekend. Sign up for one ride or join us for both and make a weekend of it. On both days we have a long and medium route options. We ride in groups of six all led by an expert Sportive Breaks guide with regular feed stops.
The Surrey Hills is one of the most popular cycling regions of the UK and the classic climbs of the lanes are packed with cyclists every weekend. Our tour manager lives here and has designed a route taking us off the beaten track and exploring some new roads. Starting and finishing in Haslemere just off the A3, the ride goes in a loop taking in the classic Box Hill but then staying off the main roads and riding on some smaller tracks (suitable for normal road bikes). Discover some new routes and escape the crowds in the Surrey Hills.
