Downhill westbound

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Turn on the afterburners and fly down the hill as fast as you dare westbound! Hell on earth going uphill eastbound. In hours of darkness during winter, you will likely hear tawny owls calling to each other from the north.

Flood-Prone Road

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

A ditch runs along the western side. When it fills up, in heavy rains, it floods the road, badly.

Steep Climb on A-Road

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Not for the faint of heart northbound, in terms of both the steepness and traffic rushing by (and darting back into your path as they see a car coming the opposite way). A pleasure to fly down southbound, though watch for the road surface, as it's not entirely smooth.

Manuden Lodge to Hazelend Lodge Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

You need to be fit to cope on this stretch southbound, especially during work hours. Northbound is infinitely easier. Even as an experienced rider, I find the winding uphill stretch between Manuden Lodge and Hazelend Lodge unnerving if there's a car (or a queue of cars) up my arse, itching to get past. The road narrows and is sunken there and the oncoming traffic merrily flies down at 50-60 mph-odd. The queue behind you flies past you as you get onto the slight plateau up near Hazelend Lodge. It's a rule that there's ALWAYS a car up your arse here - that's my experience anyway.
