‘A brilliantly organised and executed event! Cannot say enough good things about the entire team involved!’ – John, Colliers Bike & Hike 2025
This route offers plenty of flexibility and isn’t limited to the example shown here. In the past, we have completed this ride using multiple different routes. The options are endless, what you’ll find below is simply a typical itinerary.
Cycling Route
The route is a total of 90km with an elevation of 1,095m. You will start and finish at Denbies Wine Estate.
The first half of the route winds gently through the scenic Surrey countryside, with rolling hills that provide a perfect warm-up for the more demanding climbs ahead. You’ll pass through charming villages like Betchworth, Leigh, and Rusper, each offering a picturesque glimpse of rural England. Around the 30km mark, you’ll enjoy a well-earned break at a cozy farm café nestled between Rusper and Newdigate.
From here, the real challenge begins as the route leads you toward the renowned Surrey Hills, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Entering through Ewhurst, you’ll face your first significant climb: a steady ascent of 144 meters over 3kms. This is quickly followed by a thrilling 7km descent, ending at your next rest stop.
Re-energised, you’ll continue along high ground with a series of smaller climbs, all building up to the day’s ultimate test, Box Hill. Revered in the UK cycling scene and made famous during the 2012 London Olympic road race, Box Hill is a true icon. Its sweeping switchbacks and steady gradient offer both a physical challenge and a scenic highlight to cap off the ride.
Box Hill Stats
At the top of Box Hill you will stop at the viewpoint for a picture and to catch your breath before the short ride back down to Denbies where your well earned BBQ awaits.
Walking Route
The route is a total of 10km with an elevation of 266m. You will start and finish at Denbies Wine Estate.
This route offers a scenic and varied trail through the Surrey Hills. Highlights include the picturesque village of Westhumble, the iconic Stepping Stones crossing over the River Mole, a climb up Box Hill with sweeping views, and a visit to Broadwood’s Tower (a memorial to the Battle of Waterloo and a lookout point). The route also passes through Box Hill Country Park, offering woodland trails and countryside paths, before looping back through the vineyard. The trail combines natural beauty, historical landmarks, and a moderate physical challenge.

Jason Bacon16/09/2026My 9th PIE organised cycle challenge for the 40tude charity. Another spectacularly organised PIE ride. The way the team and guides handled and responded to all the surprises and challenges thrown their way, making everything smooth for us punters was extraordinary. And very much appreciated. The most professional and friendly group of tour managers, support team and cycle guides. Well done to the whole PIE team and Paul & Tina. You are simply the best.Posted on Google
Greg Martin16/09/2026Event team did a great job coping with air traffic meltdown in the UK, storms in Slovenia and road closures from visiting diplomats. accommodating, feeding and moving over 30 people on a daily basis is no easy task and they do it very well! Kudos to Paul and team.Posted on Google
James Purves16/09/2026This is probably my 6th rode with pie. They always have things organised and when something isn’t quite right it is fixed quickly and with lots of communication. Paul and the team were brilliant in Slovenia with us all. When you are cycling and out of your comfort zone the last thing you want is to worry about the logistics and pie do that all for you. Thanks And see you soon at the next ride!Posted on Google

Daniel Osmer27/07/2026I've just completed my second 4-day group ride managed by pie. Again, it was a fantastic experience. The 3 person pie team - a trip co-ordinator, ride guide, and on-bike medic - were all top professionals as well as great fun. It was another great trip which the whole team enjoyed. I highly recommend pie.Posted on Google

Whether Medical, Portering, Providing Food (paying attention to dietary requirements) and Drink (morning coffee, regular rehydration electrolyte tabs, soft drinks at lunch, alcoholic beverages at the end of the day - if you like that sort of thing), excellent hotels & restaurants, - all needs catered for.
