エルセナムでののおすすめランニングルート

Yeomans cafe has a gate at the back to a small outside area for your bike but you'll probably have to ask to unlock.

Uppers Coffee by the roundabout at the end of the high street is a good place for a refuel stop.

If you're in need of getting between Elsenham and Stansted Mountfitchet in a hurry, this is an excellent high-speed stretch westbound, fairly level and with a slight downhill (turning into downhill) as you get down into SM.

Coast downhill eastbound to North Hall Road. Can be a gut-buster westbound against the wind.

It is a good place to stop and try the three pubs . Castle mound and Toy Museum. other places to eat and drink. train station and co-op.

Wasn't really "gravel" when I went through here earlier, more "compacted". Either way, in all but the worst weather, it's a good shortcut.

In stormy spells in winter, this stretch can be impassable. Luckily, Longcroft, running parallel, provides a get-out.

This section of road floods in heavy rain and stays flooded long after, as the location is enclosed by trees and the sun doesn't get to it. Under some conditions it's possible to walk along the verge, but when fully flooded (as it seems to be more often than not) forget it, the verges are underwater. I estimate the water can get to 7-8 inches deep in places. UPDATE - As of March 2022, there is an informal path looping round to the west, which connects to the bridleway in the north.
