From Tynehead Park in Surrey, roll down to the Fraser and catch the tiny free ferry, a two-minute crossing, to Barnston Island, where a flat, quiet 10 km lap circles riverside farmland full of bird life. No cars to speak of, no hills at all, and a picnic spot around every corner. The road surface runs rough in patches, so take it easy.
