Bury Road Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Nice ascent where you can let it go, once you’ve cleared the bumps at the top of the hill. Clear from there

Mott Street Climb, Epping Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Number 26 of the UK's top 100 Climbs. Just North of London in the county of Essex lies High Beach and the climb of Mott Sreet.

Studying the topography, it's a surprise to find such a tough ascent in this area, (there are many shorter hills around), but Mott Street is a a proper climb. Begin your ascent at the broken bridleway marker just off the A112. The road bends left, passing the junction to Lipits Hill, and then rises.

A tough opening section flattens where you reach the farm buildings on both sides of the road. A strong whiff of manure is just what you need to propel you up the following lump onto the hardest section. The well-surfaced stretch with a 12% gradient winds past large gated properties on both sides, levelling slightly halfway up. The final sector heads into tree cover and the brow comes opposite a bridleway, after which there are just a few hundred meters of false flat before the climb ends at the junction of Church Road.

Mott Street Summit

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great training climb. Watch out for cars if you're weaving about on the road. Break it down into three sections (Ramps) and leave something for the last one

Wake Road, Epping Forest

Highlight • Cycleway

Heading north Wake Road seems like a lesser used road up to the Miller&Carter roundabout. Smooth tarmac with no potholes to dodge, a barely noticeable incline, and very few cars (or perhaps I just got lucky). The woodland on either side seems to absorb the local traffic noise and with the sun shining down it's a lovely few minutes of escapism on two wheels.

Woodhatch Quiet Country Roads

Highlight • Cycleway

If you want to get the feel that you have escaped the city grime, this is the road for you. Gently rolling, quiet and bordered with lush countryside. A great place to drop the pace to look at the views, or pick it up because of its quiet. Take your pick.
