Now a steady, gradual climb up to the highest point on the route at Stokenchurch followed by a glorious, fast descent, exhilarating for even the most reluctant of downhillers.
#RED KITE CYCLES UK TV#
At the top you are rewarded with fabulous views of the Hambledon Valley and Turville (filming location for many TV shows including Midsomer Murders, Vicar of Dibley, Lewis, Miss Marple, Jonathan Creek). The bottom of this climb is the toughest, once you’ve completed for the first 100 metres you’re past the worst. This is the windmill that featured in the children’s classic film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The first climb of the day is Oxford Road – known as Windmill Hill for obvious reasons. The 50 mile route takes a gentle climb out of Marlow towards Frieth and Fingest which will ease you in gradually. Perfect for first timers, two challenging but achievable climbs with enjoyable descents and plenty of beautiful rolling countryside. There will be a range of refreshments and a barbecue where friends and family can cheer the intrepid riders as they return. Finishers receive a medal and goodie bag. Riders cross the River Thames twice, passing the finish line of the internationally renowned Henley Royal Regatta, and again at the end of the ride as they return to Marlow across the iconic Grade I listed Marlow Bridge. All routes take you through quintessential old English villages and countryside (filming locations for Midsomer Murders, Vicar of Dibley, Lewis, Miss Marple, Jonathan Creek) and pass Cobstone Windmill featured in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
