Welcome to Amersham RCC Rides

The idea here is to create an archive of all our routes so that we all have access to them. It's a work in progress, mostly based on my memory when I get home on a Sunday afternoon, but hopefully it'll prove to be a useful resource.

Colin's Roman Roads


Colin's Roman Roads Ride is due to recieve it's first outing tomorrow (9th March) and is currently an out-and-back route to St. Albans (though the return journey may be altered in future to create a loop).

Leaving Great Missenden up Frith Hill the ride heads for Latimer via Hyde Heath and Chesham Bois. You then climb up to Flaunden and down to the southern edge of Hemel Hempstead before heading on to Bedmond and crossing the M1 above the M25 interchange. Then it's straight back up in to St. Albans to the cafe in Verulamium Park (23 miles) before retracing your route to Great Missenden (46 miles).

Ride To Windsor The Hard Way


This route was first run last Sunday (2 March 2008) and being one of Paolo's creations it contains a little more climbing than some of our usual Windsor routes!

The ride starts out the same as the other Windsor rides, heading first for Amersham and then on to Chalfont St Giles and Beaconsfield. The route changes upon leaving Beaconsfield where it decends Windsor Hill to Wooburn Green before the steep climb of Wash Hill back to Hedsor. It then follows the lanes through Taplow to come down through Eton Wick to Eton and the cafe (31 miles). After retracing the route through Taplow you drop down to the river at Cookham and climb Winter Hill on the way across to Marlow. There are then climbs to Frieth and from Fingest up towards Studley Green on the way to West Wycombe. Heading out of West Wycombe in the direction of Bledlow Ridge you head down past Saunderton Station before the final climb up to Lacey Green. After that it's downhill all the way to Great Missenden (68 miles).

Windsor Ride



This is the short and reasonably flat ride from Great Missenden to Windsor and back.

The route runs as a figure of eight starting out from Missenden on the A413 towards Amersham and then continuing to Chalfont St Giles where you turn towards Beaconsfield. After Beaconsfield the route stays on the lanes through Hedsor before dropping down to the river at Cookham. You then head through Maidenhead and Bray before picking up the main road into Windsor and reaching the cafe stop at Eton Bridge (28 miles). Leaving the cafe you head out through Eton and Eton Wick and return to Beaconsfield via Burnham. After crossing the outward route you visit Winchmore Hill, Penn Street, Holmer Green and Little Kingshill on the way back to Great Missenden (51 miles).
