My first bike training assignment for Surrey County Council took me the St Catherine's Prep school in Bramley, a characterful school set in the picturesque village of Bramley about 4 miles south of Guildford.
During the morning rush many of the 'back roads' here can get clogged with commuter traffic feeding the A3 & A31. The challenge was to find a reasonable route to cycle without too many tough climbs. After all I was using the Dawes.......a chunky 13.3kilos of bike. Four days and 4,500 ft of climbing later, I feel ready for a recovery day!
Using some sections of NCN Route 22 as well as the Surrey Cycleway helped though the routes were obviously quieter by the time of my early afternoon return journeys.
I was able to use a short section of the Downslink at Bramley & Wonersh Station. This was the first time I've been on this path since my 2010 ride to Shoreham.
