Bury Road Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Nice ascent where you can let it go, once you’ve cleared the bumps at the top of the hill. Clear from there

High Beech Climb

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice quick road ... wheeeeeeee!

Mott Street Summit

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great training climb. Watch out for cars if you're weaving about on the road. Break it down into three sections (Ramps) and leave something for the last one

Heading north Wake Road seems like a lesser used road up to the Miller&Carter roundabout. Smooth tarmac with no potholes to dodge, a barely noticeable incline, and very few cars (or perhaps I just got lucky). The woodland on either side seems to absorb the local traffic noise and with the sun shining down it's a lovely few minutes of escapism on two wheels.

Epping Upland Dash

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Fantastic fast smooth winder, mainly downhill. A great way to escape London, avoiding Epping.

St John the Baptist Church, Epping Green

Highlight • Religious Site

Epping Green is a quaint village between Epping and Harlow and lies mainly within Epping Forest land. It’s quite small and cozy but it has little to no amenities. It has a 14th century church but with the lack of a coffee stop you won’t be stopping here for long.

White House Bend, Harlow

Highlight • Cycleway

Fast way back into the west side of Harlow if the bridal way is to wet. Watch out though, cars, vans and motorbikes come flying down here (including bikes who park in the ditch facing the wrong way!).

Wake Road Through Epping Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very quiet country road with very little traffic. A good cut through on your way out towards the Essex countryside.
