Gatwick Airport to Slough Anyone??

996JAT

Hi,

I need to pick some family up from Gatwick on Friday. But the car will be full at Garwick Airport so no room for me

The plan was to take my bike and try and get back to Slough via bike??

Anyone done this route or near, eg heathrow, windsor etc?

The main thing i dont want is busy dual carrageways which are A roads or National Speed limits.

Thanks
Jat

depends what kind of bike you're on.

if on a mtb, hybrid or cx then you could consider national cycle route 21.

I recently picked up my brother-in-law from Gatwick:

On my road bike under time pressure, I took the most direct route from central london and picked up route 21 in the last mile. You could probably do the same in reverse but divert off to slough.

Although the road from gatwick to london is an A road, there are only a couple of nasty bits, see the other thread for details. Depends I guess how happy you are in traffic. You could go all clicky-click on bikeroutetoaster.co.uk to create your own route.

Using Google maps avoiding motorways comes up with THIS route.

Thanks,

Was checking that route as it looked like avoiding extra miles.
