Harrumph. Well now I know why it looked like only 1 mile on the route map to the rest/mechanic point at Roydon. They've drawn the blob on Nazeing instead of on Roydon. And Nazeing was indeed about a mile from the breakdown because that's the bit we did at walking pace. Oh well.

The elevation widget is really cool, you can see just how steep each bit of hill was!

Well this time the map is south of Cambridge but it stops at Much Hadham.

I just posted the link to the wrong map earlier, and couldn't find the link to the right one. But this one definitely does go all the way to Cambridge. From Much Hadham it's north through Hadham Ford and Little Hadham. I think it won't work very well if you zoom too far out though, because of the large number of points being mapped at once.

I got it to work with a few tweaks. I suspect Firefox doesn't like Google's Javascript much. I know the middle section of that route rather well. It's through the area we used to go for bike rides in when I was a kid.

Odd, cos I did the route in firefox on Linux and it works fine for me.

Scary coincidences!

It was interesting for me to see how much I remembered of the route from last time. The sharp right turn into Kitten Lane, halfway down a steep hill. The playing fields at Widford. The Bull at Langdon, sitting in the shade and eating icecream. And the long pull uphill and back down again between there and Ickleton.

Coincidences get scarier. livredor used to live in one of the houses that were built on part of my old school's playing fields and where I more than likely played rugby and cricket.

Only one bit was Cornwall grade, I thought, and all the climbs were quite short.

Short and not steep by your standards yes. By mine? Well, you can see how flat the last 10 miles are!
