Picturesque House on Parsonage Lane

Highlight • Structure

I can't actually remember whether it's right here or just round the corner on Plough Lane or Parsonage Lane, but this is just like a film set. Worth a detour & a snap.

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.

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.
