The Horse Rangers Royal Park Hopper- 25 miles
Is a great ride for families, or riders who prefer a relaxed ride on mostly quiet roads. Starting from Hampton Court palace the ride will take you though Bushy park onto quiet roads in Teddington across the river to Richmond Park where you will complete a loop of the world famous park. You will then head back through the middle of Richmond park and Bushy park to finish at The London Irish Rugby Club.
The Horse Rangers Charity Challenge
This is a 75 mile ride to Windsor and High Wycombe, the route has a few hills which will warm your legs up for the season ahead but nothing to challenging.

Thanks. I guess the question is "need". If the road is busy, it sounds like it is a desired route between places? In which case (given this an...
