Penned by The General, this is one of Team De Ver’s popular “extended club ride” routes for summer, a long distance rolling ride through picturesque lanes. The entire route is 124 miles (200km).

Team De Ver’s A-group has ridden this route a number of times, and due to its popularity it now has its own dedicated date in the calendar – on Saturday 2nd May.

On the way out we go through Cobham and Guildford and long forest-lined roads, then a gentle rolling climb from Farnham to Lasham Airfield (look out for gliders!)

We descend to the half way point in Preston Candover (63mi) where we’ll stop for lunch at the Candover Valley Store.

The route back is via Farnborough then some long fast forest roads. After Brooklands and Hampton Court we trace the same route home through Kingston, Mitcham, etc.

Meet outside the shop. The B Group will depart from the shop at 7.30 and the A group at 8.00. Please check on this page and the team WhatsApp chat nearer the time for final details or last minute changes to the route.

Cost: There is no cost to enter, just be prepared to pay for lunch and train home.

This event is open to Team De Ver A and B Group members.
