Almost entirely on tarmac using quiet residential streets and parks with just a few short runs of busy roads and a couple of short, flat, level dirt tracks. About half a dozen hills, a couple of which are quite steep, but the few that occur in the afternoon section are easy. |

Ignoring the insane Sustrans' route, we'll be retracing our far more sensible route to Gatwick and possibly beyond. Morning stop will be the legendary Fanny's Farm. This is a linear ride and we'll return by train to East Croydon. |
