The Blue Egg Café

Highlight • Cafe

Such a great mid-ride stop, where almost everything is made fresh on site or sourced locally, the cafe at the Blue Egg is a real institution for cyclists and a regular haunt for southern road cycling pros in the UK. It's open daily from 9am to 5pm, but closes at 4pm on a Sunday. Three days a week there's fresh sour dough bread so try and time your ride appropriately ;) The cafe also does its own super delicious, natural energy bars with dates, oats, and nuts so no excuses if your energy dwindles on a long ride.

Straight Rural Lane Through Wheat Fields

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A lovely stretch of lane with a slight s-bend in the middle. Usually very few cars so you can just enjoy the open road.

Felsted Water Tower

Highlight • Structure

Amazing 1960s concrete Brutalist water tower that looks like some kind of alien spacecraft crash landed in the Essex countryside on the edge of Felsted.
