Ok, so we had just walked for 3 hours from Rocky Ridge - headed towards downtown and oops!!! We stopped at a bike shop and we accidentally bought new bicycles, helmets and waterbottles and decided to ride the rest of the way! 😌😁😀🚲🚲🏞️🏞️🏞️🏞️🏞️🚲🚲🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🚲🚲☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️#bicycles #newbikes #explore #exploring #daytrip #river #pathsystem #bikeroute #cycling #photography
Smith River Road connects Eugene to Reedsport, and it's one of the all-time classic Lane County rides. Because the old county bike map is out of print, I'll be transcribing this route and the rest from an old copy to @ridewithgps in the near future. #bikeroute #maps #routescout #lanecounty #oregon

Accessible Cycle Routes: Horsell Common and McLaren Centre
Accessible Cycle Routes
In our "accessible cycle Routes" series, we share trails that are suitable for riders of a variety of abilities. These routes may be shorter than those typically found on popular cycling platforms, with gentler slopes and smoother surfaces. This makes them suitable for individuals with health conditions or those in the early stages of recovery.
Parking
Parking at Horsell Common is free, with a limit of 2 hours. There are around 30 spaces, including two for blue badge holders.
About the route
Click here for more information on Horsell Common's wildlife, pond, and influence on H.G. Wells's 1898 novel War of the Worlds.
Horsell Common, a 355-hectare green space in Woking, Surrey, is a haven for dog walkers, cyclists, and families alike. Visitors can enjoy a mix of landscapes, including heathland, woodland, and meadows.
Along this scenic circular route, you'll have the option to stop at the McLaren Centre, where you can take in breathtaking views – particularly during sunrise or sunset.
Length: 3.6 miles
Duration: 28 min
Suitable for:
Car park to McLaren - all levels
Point 3 onwards - more confident riders
A video of the route is included at the bottom of the page.
Accessibility
Point 1: The initial part of the route from the car park to the sand pit is gentle. The path is flat and well-maintained, so it should be easy to navigate. You'll find benches at the sand pit for a place to rest. The distance from the car park to the sand pit is approximately 400 metres.
Point 2: If you're going to the McLaren Centre, follow the stone path from the private road, through a short alleyway. This path is fairly level, though bumpy. The stone path continues towards Fairoaks Airport and can be followed as desired for a view of the mclaren centre or to lunch tables.
From this point, riders can decide which way to continue. Return back the way they came on the easier route, or continue the full circuit, which increases the difficulty and often includes muddy, uneven surfaces and minor slopes.
If you plan on continuing the full route there are two options to reach point 3:
Crossing a field and to a raised wooden path (physically challenging).
Return the way you came and turn right at the private road.
To access the raised wooden path, riders will have to dismount and lift the bike.
Point 3: At point 3 the raised woodland path meets the private road again. Turn right for the full circuit.
Between points 3 and 4, there are a variety of surfaces. Expect muddy areas and potholes. There aren't many benches here, and while the slopes are gentle, they extend for long stretches.
Follow the road until you eventually reach a car park. From there, you'll take the bridleway back up to the sand pit, and then back to the car park where you started.
Point 4: At Point 4, there's a pond located just a short distance from the main bridleway. It's a great place to stop and take a break. The paths improve from this point, although there's a slight incline.
Remember:
Be prepared for varying surfaces throughout the route, especially between Points 3 and 4.
The video below will give you a better understanding of the route and its conditions after rain.
Conclusion
Overall, Horsell Common is a welcoming destination for cyclists of all skill levels. Whether you're looking for a leisurely ride or a more challenging route, you'll find a path to suit your needs.
With minor slopes, a 250-watt ebike can handle this location with ease as long as you avoid the muddy sections. The longer route is suited to riders who are confident that they can manage uneven surfaces seeking a quick, invigorating 30-minute ride.
Horsell Common is a welcoming destination for cyclists of all skill levels. Whether you're looking for a leisurely ride or a more challengin
