Ballslough Hill

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.

fantastic old pub with a large (front) garden with tables under an old oak for shade and a hedge to lean your bike on. Conveniently located, open at weekends and prices are "about" half those of London. Firm favourite.
