With approximately fourteen miles of scenic trails, the route rolls between the heathlands, commons & parklands of Putney Heath, Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park. The entire trail comprises official cycle paths and there are three distances to choose from: 14, 6 and 2 miles.
Riders of all skill and fitness levels are welcome, particularly new riders who's like to explore the local area on two wheels. Entry is free to all & the first person back to The Telegraph Pub buys the beers!
Hullo new cycle way. Battersea Park Road https://t.co/NTBIZ3fdVm
Location currently estimated will correct later.
Slightly pointless bit of cycleway, as it goes behind the bus stop then returns the rider to the road

Some sort of cycle hire: “Time to ride the future”

Ah, National Cycle Network in Wandsworth, London. How we love you so. You have to be quite strong to wheel a bike up the ramp to this gate and then push through. Lovely stuff from @wandbc https://t.co/cUcMXLayfA

A huge array of Santander Bikes (into the distance) just north west of Clapham Junction.
Enough for 100 bikes if possible. Currently use buses to travel to the station and cycling would be so much easier - I'm sure many would agree
Cat's Back Bridge has been replaced by a modern structure - it's very busy with pedestrians and cyclists, but there are still barriers in place making passage awkward for everyone.

A cycleway and a bridleway subway.
I got a bit confused here as I wasn't expecting to have to go on to a shared bus lane.
After being on shared use this route towards Putney moves on a lane shared with buses here.

Q: What on earth does that blue sign mean!?

I find it very weird to have the hatching like this along the middle of the road.
Beechcroft Road - absurdly narrow cycle bypass - but at least it is usually green!

Fishponds Road - its a bit of an uphill this way.
The cycle route sign (for meaning see #73568) here seems to be meaningless.
This road feels like a bit of a 'rat run' for motor vehicles - I suppose the speedbumps confirm that.
