River Ash Ford at Hadham Cross

Highlight • Bridge

River, sheep and ducklings. Great place for a break, seems popular with cyclists and walkers.

Tip by

10.2 km

Pig Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

An easier traverse eastbound. There's a steep climb towards the end eastbound, but heading west, from the river to London Road, is a deceptively difficult drag of a climb. This …

Westbound Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Travel westbound for the downhill. It's not entirely a gutbuster eastbound, but slower riders won't appreciate the overtaking traffic.

West Plantation

Forest

15.9 km

Easy Downhill Westbound

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

As the title says - freewheeling mixed with light pedalling. Watch for traffic coming the other way.

Tip by

18.0 km

Best traversed southbound

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Sheering Mill Lane Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

An evil climb westbound, no plainer way of saying it. Is at its worst between Sawbridgeworth FP 27 and the bend to the right. There's roughly a 65 foot height differential between the two ends.

Tip by

23.8 km

Long Westbound Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

One of those climbs, westbound, which isn't particularly steep, but it's how long it goes on for.

Ford and Wooden Bridge at Green Lane

Highlight • River

... but beware, it can be slippery!
