It's a reasonably safe descent into Princes Risborough. If you're coming the other way, it's straight up. The road surface is smooth, so you don't have to slow down for too many potholes but it's not that wide, so you'll have to be mindful of cars going the other way. And that's difficult as the views are incredible. Stunning all the way. You'll spot plenty of Red Kites here, looking to swoop on their prey. There is also a right turn on to a bigger road, so you'll have to kill your speed for that. But then it kicks on down again and you'll reach 70kmh if you're brave enough as the road is wide and straight and you'll see danger with plenty of time. Watch for pheasants stepping out into your way too.

Beautiful views and plenty of Red Kite spotting, but try and keep your eyes on the descent. You can really pick up speed here.

Nice ride along very smooth tarmac in the Chilterns a wonderful spot just outside of London, the Chilterns seem to get less love than the Surrey Hills but they are a wonderful place to ride.
