Route description

  • After completing your row, enter transition, put on cycle helmet and push bike out of transition to the mount point.
  • At the mount point you will be heading left out of the Park up Pound Lane.
  • Turn right into Pen Wood Lane, following this road round a sharp right then left turn.
  • STOP at the T-junction and put a foot down before turning right. Failure to do so will result in at best a TWO minute penalty,
    at worst we will be scraping you off the road.
  • Turn left by Platts Garage into Oxford Road.
  • Follow this road (Oxford Road/Chalk Pit Lane) as it climbs out of Marlow.
  • After a brief down hill it climbs again followed by a short descent to a crossroad junction where you must give way.
  • Go straight across and follow the road down the hill - beware of oncoming cars as it gets quite narrow.
  • At the end of this road turn left to Fingest - beware cars approaching from the right on a hidden bend.
  • This road then winds itself down the valley, passing through Skirmett and Hambledon before arriving at a T-junction in Mill End.
  • Turn left at the T-junction, heading back to Marlow.
  • Follow the road up the hill past Dansefield Hotel, straight over the roundabout and down into Marlow.
  • Keep following this road into Marlow turning right at the Hand & Flowers Pub in to West Wood Road (NOT Pound Lane).
  • Follow this round a sharp right then left bend before turning left into Pound Lane and returning to the park.
