앨버리 최고의 라이딩 경로

멋진 작은 마을입니다. 간식 먹기 좋은 곳입니다.

봄 햇살 아래 너무나 예쁜 마을이고 Axe and Compass 펍은 잠시 들러서 기분 전환하기에 좋은 장소처럼 보이지만, 시간이 없어서 들르지는 못했습니다.

Brilliant cafe!

Near-constant downhill southbound. Consequently near-constant uphill northbound.

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.

One of the steepest roads in the town, westbound. If you're travelling south on Rye Street and want to get onto Cricketfield Lane, you're better off continuing south on Rye Street, turning right into Barrells Down Road and immediately left onto Elm Road - all of which mostly keeps you on level ground. Don't waste your energy for zero gain.

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.
