Off Road only London to Woking?

inkj

Hi,

I’m new here… please don’t bully me too much… I don’t have any dinner money anyway...

As these lycra shorts didn't come with pockets.

I hate riding on roads with cars, In fact that’s what has stops me cycling much over the years

I occasionally do the South Downs Link [37m Guildford to Shoreham]

Now I would love to cycle to my mum’s often [Woking-ish] – I live in Canary Wharf. But I can’t see how to find out what off road, or completely separate [no cars at all] – paths there are. To get an idea of what % is 'happy' riding... and how much I won't enjoy.

If I were traveling [can be a convoluted journey] – how much of it could be on roads/paths that have absolutely no cars [?] I can see there is some Holborn to Woking route – but couldn’t work out how much of it [if any] wasn’t on normal [evil] roads.

Thanks for any help/advice or even abuse

I dont know the area - but look at the sustrans website for routes.

If you want to check what roads are like - use google maps and the streetview option to show you photos of it.

Thanks for that

Looked ta the site - it's a bit confusing to me

Green roads are [?] with traffic [?]

Purple ones are without [?]

Ok found the key - got it the wrong way around:


GREEN Traffic-free route on the National Cycle Network
Traffic-free route not on the National Cycle Network

PURPLE On-road route on the National Cycle Network
On-road route not on the National Cycle Network

What does the National Cycle Network mean - does it mean if on the road, they will have markings on the road for bikes to ride along... but not seperate - so you can still get squished by a car

Opposite... green are without and purple are with.

Click the "Key" under the map.

You should be able to follow Wey Navigation canal path from the Thames path and then right turn and a short ride along the Basingstoke Canal from the Wey gets you to Woking town centre.
