Cumcum Hill Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Awful name for a road but the hill is quite steep

Tip by

Essendon Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Fast 40mph/65kph downhill when travelling northbound. Nice sweeping wide left turn, but careful of the right angle turn at the end. Can be easy to misjudge and go in too fast! Quiet road generally

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.

Downhill Stretch with Views of North Mymms Park Estate

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Great views of North Mymms Park Estate and country field either side whilst fast downhill

Tip by

A1000 Country Road Stretch

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Speedy as you get on it from either end as it’s essentially a dip - you drop first and climb later! Good in/out point off the A1000 to start enjoying country roads if leaving London that way.
