Ballslough Hill

Highlight • Climb

Use the first few hundred meters to get some speed and take it easy, as it gets steeper round the corner. You can make up speed after the second corner where it eases off.

Barwick to Standon Downhill Segment

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A fairly steep hill, good for freewheeling down southbound. Use caution on the bend at the top. Not for the faint of heart going northbound!

Watton to Walkern Road

Highlight • Viewpoint

I love cycling along here from Watton to Walkern. Generally little traffic, lovely views and a gentle gradient. It feels a lot further from London than it is and Church Farm at Ardelely is very close.

Codicote to Kimpton Road Segment

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The usual ingredients: small downhill gradient, good tarmac (British standards...) and not too much traffic. This is a well known local segment and a good stretch of road to stretch your legs.
