Large outdoor seating area with plenty of room for bikes through the archway. Open from 12pm, Wed-Sun.

Sod the ford and just use the bridge.

A stretch in which the first half is uphill in both directions, building to a peak where the electricity lines cross the road, just west of Hormead Byway 6. Basically, going westbound, you climb to the electricity lines and from then on, it's downhill into Great Hormead. Eastbound is the same, except with a wholly unwelcome climb into Brent Pelham after the long descent. I prefer westbound, despite having to battle the wind on the opening uphill half.

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.

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

Travel eastbound for near-constant downhill, whether it be down hills or slight grades. Consequently it's near-constant uphill westbound, with the only respite being a short bit of downhill where The Street meets The Causeway.

Easy going southbound and a massive downhill into Clapgate. A gut-buster northbound, as you're not out of the woods by a long chalk after your first massive climb. There's more to come, which isn't as bad, but is made so by the degree to which you haven't recovered from the initial climb at the time you reach the next, past the pub.

A real long drag back up to civilisation westbound, followed by a fast descent and then another climb up to the T-junction. Eastbound has two easy downhills, but one gutbusting climb where the road diverts around the houses left/right.
