Looking for a new route

[jdrussell]

Hi ya,

So, I am looking for ideas. I ride from White City (w12) to Tooting Bec every day. I have a few routes, but the main two are:

1 - Long way

In to Shepherds bush, down to Holland Park. Right into Hyde Park, past Wellington Gate, Buckingham palace. through the back of Victoria, over Lambeth Bridge, through to Oval and on to the CS7 all the way home. About 12 miles door to door.

2 - Short way

From White City, into Hammersmith, down Fulham Palace Road, over Putney Bridge, down to Wandsworth and then back way through to Upper Tooting.

Anyone got any ideas how I can up the miles to 15 - 18 as I am just no good at working out where to go lol.

Thanks in advance.

I reckon West Ken, Hammersmith Bridge to Barnes.
East corner of Richmond Park, cut across to Wimbledon Common.
Into Wimbledon, then pop East to Colliers Wood and Tooting.

Thanks, I'm thinking this

Looks good. The bit between Wimbledon and Merton isn't very nice - maybe some of the side roads would be more pleasant.

If you are on a hybrid, you can make more use of the river - there is good path all the way from any of those bridges as far as Richmond, then you can come into the Park. Add a nice lot of distance going nowhere!

It's a commute, so pre 8am and post 4pm.
