| Expert Ride. Dartmoor is renowned for the challenging nature of its terrain. The effort required to climb steeply to well over 300m several times on this ride is well worth it though - the roads are largely quiet and the scenery exquisite, and the towns and villages you pass through en route have a typical country charm. Unless a masochist, you should take a triple or a compact! Bike Shops: The Bike Shed, Exeter 01392 426191; Bikus, Bovey Tracey 01626 833444. www.exeter.gov.uk/visiting. |

| An EXPERT ride in an area through the idylls and airfields that surround the town of Gadalming (NB The first town in the world to have electric public street lighting). Not renown for easy, traffic free riding - the area is criss-crossed by major arterial roads from London and between major towns of the area. But this ride should allow you to find the home counties idyll that so inspired poet laureate John betjeman nd is epitomised in his poem 'A Subaltern's Love-song. Given good weather you too can become 'furnish'd' and burnish'd' by the same sun that rendered Miss J Hunter Dunn so beautiful.
GEARS: 39x23, better a 39x25, but a compact is best to enjoy the finishing climbs; BIKE SHOP: Godalming Cycles 01483 420036; INFO: www.godalming-tc.gov.uk |

| CLASSIC: Solitary lanes, panoramic views, an art deco airport and Eccles cakes on the Bluebell line.... Just plenty of Sussex countryside, several attractions to keep your mind occupied and, best of all, multiple opportunities for refreshment stops.
CLASSIC ride with just one tough (but oligatory to say you have!) climb of Ditchling Beacon towards the end, so compact is fine but not essential. Rolling Sussex Weald (one climb) but a few deceptively tough drags. BIKE SHOPS: Brighton - Rayment Cycles 01273 697617 and Baker Street Bikes 01273 675754; Worthing - The Bike Store 01903 206311 and Quest Adventure 01903 573700. INFO: Brighton 0906 7112255. |
