Howdy Y'all,

I'm in Croydon and have a day off this week so me and a mate are going for a ride, as I'm near Biggin Hill I was wondering if there are any good tracks to follow up there - preferably with nice open views and a bit of woods.
Cheers in advance

    No, Selsdon. We have some not bad rides around Chelsham but I thought there might be something up that way as that is where Evans have got a ride next week

    must be something but I haven't found it yet, there are a few bridle paths though so they may be using them, theres not really anything challenging up there.
  • Hi,

    Heading up from Addington on to Sheepbarn Lane then Jewels Hill there is a bridlepath to the left at Highams Farm which goes on for about a mile or so consisting of loose flint, gulleys and some short climbs, this brings you out near Keston, However, this route is used by horseriders and ramblers but I never get any problems with either lot.

    Otherwise head towards Biggin Hill and there are a few bridlepaths that lead out from Downe/Cudham etc although it can be a pain trying to link them up for a decent ride without ending up on the lanes.

    You should still be able to download the Evans Biggin Hill routes, I did the medium one and found it great (apart from going up Titsey Hill grrr)

    An OS map is a good investment, have fun!!!
    I no longer own a Kona so the name is somewhat misleading.
