브렌트 펠햄 최고의 사이클링 경로

Passes under the railway line and motorway between Catmere End and Audley End.

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.

Great stop for breakfast, coffee or something more substantial

Brilliant cafe!

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.
