Route Description
This mostly flat route begins in the city with a lap of Greater London Flat in the reverse direction, which diverts onto a nearly-complete reverse lap of the Classique route. We do this again (Greater London into Classique), then hit Greater London Flat for a third time, but before we reach the Classique we hang a right to cross the Thames.
Once across the Thames we head through the Underground tunnel, then hit the final climb, Leith Hill.
The route ends at the KOM banner, so more than half the overall elevation gain is in the final 5km!
Just completed this route and the climb ends at 42km, and then there’s 4k of downhill. A bit of a party pooper. Anyone else getting this??
