立つでののおすすめツーリングルート

Sod the ford and just use the bridge.

I had a puncture around this location, where the road floods (as visible by the pebbles/detritus in the road). I recommend to *always* carry your bike over surfaces like that - not just here, but everywhere.

Heading eastbound, the climb will begin past Paper Mill Lane. The fun and games really begins when you make the right turn south. A proper gut buster from then on, with the bonus of the possibility of cars up your arse. There's little respite once you're past there, as you'll be blowing until you reach level ground. The high possibility of a car up your arse is because Bromley Lane is the main drag between Standon and Much Hadham. Conversely, it's a great descent westbound, though use caution on the northbound stretch, as cars fly up in the middle of the road and the road surface is cack. The same goes with heading down into Standon, as there's permanently cars parked on your right and there are some drivers who don't think it's fair to give you the right of way.

Great coffee and cakes next door to cycle shop. Open Thurs to Sunday

The heart of historic Hertford with it's castle and old inn at the gateway to London proper. Great place to stop and take a look around.

It is actually possible - and permissable - to cycle through the grounds of Hertford Castle.

A stretch of road that presents itself as potentially being a bit dangerous, but is actually OK. It's an easier ride westbound, with the initial downhill and traffic are more wont to stay behind further along when you turn south and begin a minor climb. Eastbound isn't fun up the climb, with frustrated cars behind. It's the law that you get at least one up your jacksie here.

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