The route from London to Brighton, between 64 to 70 miles (102-112 km, depends on the route), is a well-known cycling route in England. However, the pampered Londoners decided to combine it with some good wine along the way and spend half a day in Brighton, one of England's picturesque coastal towns, especially when...

by Cyclist Iain & Cyclist Yoni It's definitely an unpopular subject, but just as important as selecting the right jacket, especially when you're using your bike for the daily commute. Feet. Dry feet to be exact, are amongst what will keep you on your bike during winter, as opposed to staying in, wrecking your brains who delivers chicken noodle soup. It’s the eternal problem right?  The winter cyclists need to stay warm and dry despite the best attempts of the British weather to reduce them to a shivering wreck. This can lead to one of two things.  Either you end...

At the start of the ride I was planning to complete just over 50 miles but with a lot of determination before the 50 mile point I decided I would set myself the goal of getting past the...

by Cyclist Yoni, rides Gravel, MTB & Brompton 📏Distance: 25 miles ⏱️ Duration: 2:45 hours 🚴 Difficulty: Gravel / Intermediate  🚲 Terrain: road  So I got my new gravel bike. Don't mean to brag, but they're great. Was really keen on putting them to the test with a gravel cycling route, and that was just the right weekend to do that: one "gang" member is glamping, the other one had friends from abroad isolating with them, So I took the Trekky with his hybrid, to test a gravel cycling route from Hatfield (30 mins from London) to  St. Albans.

Though this area is perfect all year long, especially when it's still warm, this route provides a perfect scene to wash your eyes with breathtaking rural English views.

by Cyclist Yoni & Cyclist Chris, both ride Brompton 📏Distance: 27 miles ⏱️ Duration: 2:30 hours 🚴 Difficulty: Beginner  🚲 Terrain: road  Last Sunday we've taken on a rather "social cycling route". It was fairly long, but when you're riding in a group, the aim is not necessarily to find the highest cat-hill to climb or the hardest terrain to cross. Instead, we opted for a route where we could wash our eyes with great city-scapes , with a moderate plus effort level. We've named this route 'Five Parks'. Recommended for beginners with enough stamina for two and a half...

by Cyclist Yoni, rides Brompton, Gravel and MTB 📏Distance: 18-18.5 miles ⏱️ Duration: 1:35 hours 🚴 Difficulty: intermediate 🚲 Terrain: road/uneven  Last Sunday we've taken on not only cycling up hill on a North to London route, but also 15-20 mph winds, which kept us humble throughout the course. The Folly Arch, which lies at the end of Potters Bar, was our half-way point, although if u have several hours, this can very well turn to a gravel/expert route all the way to Brookmans Park. A good cycling up hill effort if you want to practice some more than moderate...
