Description: Further DetailsTitle: Cycling in SurreyCondition: NewSubtitle: 21 hand-picked ridesEAN: 9781804691359ISBN: 9781804691359Publisher: Bradt Travel GuidesFormat: PaperbackRelease Date: 02/09/2024Description: Bradt's new cycling guide to Surrey - part of a growing series designed for the saddle bag - offers 21 routes, each including comprehensive directions plus contextual exploration of history, wildlife and culture, written by avid cyclist and historian Ross Hamilton. Each route links to OS Explorer maps and, where relevant, National Cycle Network routes, while QR codes connect with downloadable GPX maps via the komoot app, enabling navigation by smartphone. With a dedicated bike-hire section (so you have an alternative if your bicycle isn't suitable for a particular ride) and accommodation suggestions, this book is an indispensable travel companion for two-wheeled adventures.Once a relatively sparsely populated and rustic area despite its proximity to London, present-day Surrey is prime commuter-belt territory. Even so, the county has not lost its rural charm. As well as boasting many Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is England's most wooded county and is riddled with rivers including England's longest, the mighty Thames. Moreover, Surrey has a long connection with cycling. When the riding craze first hit Britain in the 1800s, the ride between the Surrey towns of Thames Ditton and Ripley was quickly dubbed the 'Mecca of all good cyclists'. Surrey roads once made up much of the annual RideLondon event, itself an extension of the 2012 Olympic road-cycling route. This handpicked selection of rides is perfect for a series of half-day outings. Many are looped circuits, and most begin and end at railway stations, making travel hassle-free. Most are aimed at beginners and leisure cyclists, while some offer adventurous riders a more challenging experience.So whether you fancy riding Surrey's numerous tree-cloaked country lanes or off-road networks, cycling between medieval churches, visiting Guildford Castle or Waverley Abbey on two wheels, doffing your helmet to a venerable yew tree, biking between nature reserves and vineyards, or having a drink at the UK's smallest pub, Surrey is a superb cycling destination with something for everyone. Bradt's Cycling in Surrey brims with inspiration for cyclists of all ages and energy levels.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBAuthor: Ross HamiltonGenre: Sports & HobbiesBook Series: Bradt Travel Guides (Regional Guides)Topic: Travel & Transport, Atlases & MapsItem Height: 178mmItem Length: 115mmItem Width: 13mmItem Weight: 295gRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
