Loughton (London) #490 Pro
This 16.8 km route is the longest at Loughton, heading south through The Avenue and Hill Crest Road to Buckhurst Hill, then continuing to Woodford Green. It takes the Forest Side road west towards Ranger's Road in Chingford before returning via Epping New Road and Golding's Hill through Epping Forest.
Watch Out For
Two school zones with 20 mph limits on Epping New Road are marked with flashing signs during school hours. A U-turn near Whitehall Road in Woodford is on a busy high street. The cycle lane on Woodford Green High Road means checking your left mirror before every left turn. Ranger's Road through the forest is a narrow 40 mph road with blind bends and horse riders.
Route Features
This route covers the widest geographical area, reaching Chingford and Waltham Forest. Spring Grove and Summerfield Road are quiet 30 mph streets. The High Road through Buckhurst Hill has a 30 mph limit with parked cars on both sides. Forest Side is a wide 40 mph road bordering Epping Forest with good visibility. The roundabout at Epping New Road feeds into the fast A104 northbound.
Key Tips
On Ranger's Road, slow for the bends and check for horse riders who have priority. Through the school zone, reduce to 20 mph when the lights flash. On Golding's Hill descending from Wake Arms, use engine braking on the 40 mph forest road. The pull up on the left may be requested on York Hill near the start.
