23 mile route starting at Dorking with some serious climbing up to Leith Hill which is of course followed by a great descent.

On the summit of Leith Hill is an 18th century Gothic tower, with panoramic views northwards to London and the English Channel to the south and a great coffee and cake stop.

From Ancells Business Park to Twyford 90% is Off Road through Minley Manor on across Yately  lakes with a nice climb towards the back of Wokingham.

Very quiet route away from the traffic - normally takes me 1 hour and 30 mins in the summer

Great place to ride with new trails all the time this run starts and finishes at the kebab van :-)

It takes in the bomb hole, cork screw then heads over via the seagull run to tank traps then over to the big drop and back.

Takes about 1 hour 15

Starting at Chobham heading across Sunningdale golf course and past Bisley firing range.

Not too many hills on this route and some great single track

North West of Reading with some tricky hills but always with the benefit of downhills after

Perfect ride with the kids. This is generally flat off road mainly on cycle paths. Perfect in the summer with the majority of the ride along side the Thames there are a lot of places to stop so I would recommend to take a picnic.

Skyline

 Distance: 46km  Climb: 2000m  Time: 5 - 7 hours

 Start: Glyncorrwg Mountain Bike Centre  Overall grade: red/difficult

 The trail starts at Glyncorrwg Mountain Bike Centre.

Skyline is a giant of a ride. Ensure you and your equipment are fully prepared for an epic skyline ride.

Sharing the same sheep-track ascent as White’s Level and continuing on long, forest road climbs with sweet, flowing technical singletrack descents you will be treated to stunning skyline views of Brecon Beacons, the Preselis, the Black Mountains and the South Wales coast.

This route will test your stamina and your nerve, with technical singletrack such as the ‘On the Edge’ and ‘Excalibur’ sections. Your reward will be out-stretched views and a nerve-tingling, rocky, 6km singletrack descent back into Glyncorrwg. There are also 2 short cut loops built into the trail.

For details of diversions and closures that could affect this trail visit the mountain bike trails information section.

Course Details

Part of the Red Trail at Swinley

Part of the Swinley Forest blue route

This is the Red route with a guestimation for section 22 as it was closed

Technical in Crowthorne wood so not part of Swinley but some nice rooty twisting drops and dips. A nice end to the ride.

13 miles starting on the Blue route then picking up the Red.

Great fun with lots of berms.

A real all weather trail

6 mile Family friendly route avoiding the hills and tricky bits but with some nice banked curves so lots of fun

Better in the dry

Ride Time: 1:44:43

Distance: 18.60 miles

Ascent: 1453 feet

Really nice ride near Wendover with some tough climbs which can be tricky in the wet as it gets a bit muddy.

We started in Wendover  -  just  travel up the hill out of the town past the railway station and over the railway bridge to pick up the route on the left.

The benefit is at the end you have a really great view on top of the Chilterns and a great downhill to finish

Bit too muddy in the winter

This a tweak to the other Chiltern 14 mile off road and avoids the steep gully at the end

In the dry one of my favourite rides

3 Tough climbs but of course some great down hills

Park in Wendover Library carpark

Starts with a very pleasant flat 9 miles along the canal.

Then climbs up 'Great Hill' on tarmac.

Keeping on top of the hill for the next few miles with some muddy sections in winter then a final long descent into Wendover

Nice short loop with one short but tough hill.

Perfect for an evening ride.

Can get muddy in winter.

Great fun loop with some tough climbs but some great downhills and flowing trails

Nearly all on single track Bridleways with a few quiet road sections

Fantastic viewa at the end from Coombe Hill and a fast fun downhill run into Wendover to finish

Can get muddy in the winter

Starting in the grounds of the Manor.

The route begins with a lovely tree lined start and heading down Tag Lane.

Crossing the A4 towards Waltham St Lawrence along Milley Lane from there you turn right towards Hurst via School Road and Plough Lane.

From Hurst you take the Wokingham Road taking a left just after the motorway along Forest Road.

Following straight one for a few miles you will then come across the main hill of the ride.

This is nothing to challenging.

Staying on Forest Road towards North Ascot.

The next section enters the lovely Windsor Great park.

Leaving the park in Old Windsor you get a brief view of the river.

Heading back via Clewer towards Paley street, Shottesbrooke and a final loop around Crazies Hill

There are some busy roads namely around Ascot to Windsor Great Park please use caution.

Crossing the A4 towards Waltham St Lawrence along Milley Lane from there you turn right towards Hurst via School Road and Plough Lane.

From Hurst you take the Wokingham Road taking a left just after the motorway along Forest Road.

This is nothing to challenging there is worse to come.

Staying on Forest Road towards North Ascot.

The next section enters the lovely Windsor Great park.

Leaving the park in Old Windsor you get a brief view of the river.

After Fifield you take the Ascot Road through Holyport and into Bray and onto Maidenhead.

Here you get to ride along the river for a small stretch before heading to Cookham.

From Bourne End you take the Marlow Road to Marlow then climb up into the Chilterns which means there is still a down to come.

The descent into Hambleden is a lovely quiet picturesque route and from there you pick up the Marlow Road again but this time heading to Henley.

From Henley you cross the bridge and take the quiet Remenham lane on the left then up the last hill towards Crazies Hill

A final loop around to pick up the entrance to Yeldall Manor and then up the drive.

There are some busy roads namely around Ascot to Windsor Great Park please use caution.

This route is a mixture or quiet roads and bridleways.

Starting off down the amazing tree lined drive leaving the Manor's grounds and head down Tag lane.

The route crosses the A4 at the end of Tag lane and you head slightly left picking up Milley Lane.

Take care when crossing the A4 as it can be busy.

Following Milley Lane all the way to Waltham St Lawrence. At this point the family route and main routes split.

Here you take the left turn down the side of the church and then follow the road round keeping left until you join the first bridleway.

From here you head across towards Knowl Hill but just before you get there you take a right hand bridleway towards bottle lane.

Taking a short right hand stretch of Bottle Lane you then quickly take a left onto a lovely stretch of quiet flat country lane with stunning views.

Staying on this lane until it meets Westacott Way you then go left up towards the A4 crossing it at the round about ( again take care as it can be busy ) and turn right.

Quickly take the first left down Burchetts Green Lane. From here you steadily start to climb.

Take a left at Burchetts Green and then first right down Honey Lane.

Again there is a small climb up here. Follow Honey lane all the way until the road runs out and continue on the Bridleway. This then joins Pudding Hill. Follow the road round and take a right onto Warren Row Road.

Take the next left onto a unmade road Star Lane following this through the gates on to the footpath ( please dismount for this short section )

Then the final climb take the right bridleway above the old quarry into Bowsey woods.

Follow it all the way to the top. this is a slow climb but you are almost there....

At the cross roads at the top go straight across and then follow the path around and down the start of Bear Lane.

This is a fast short descent. Don't go to fast as halfway down you need to take a right hand turn into Yeldall Manor and the finish.

21 mile off and on road loop starting at Henley on Thames

Heads out to Rotherfield Peppard and up on beyond Nettlebed

Taking in Warburg Nature reserve, Bix Bottom

Can get muddy

Suggest to do it clock wise

Starting with a tough climb up Bowsey Hill which seems to just keep going.

At the top of the hill you are rewarded with a fun downhill which can be tricking in the wet as there are plenty of roots and trees to avoid.

Cross over Warren Row Road and there is a nice trail with a gradual climb before another fun descent.

This one is almost straight but narrow so feels very fast.

At the bottom by the Black boy you head towards the river.

Crossing at the Hambleden Lock

On to Henley for a quick coffee stop and then back on some quiet roads and tracks with a steady climb especially after Crazies Hill
