Mott Street Climb, Epping Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Number 26 of the UK's top 100 Climbs. Just North of London in the county of Essex lies High Beach and the climb of Mott Sreet.

Studying the topography, it's a surprise to find such a tough ascent in this area, (there are many shorter hills around), but Mott Street is a a proper climb. Begin your ascent at the broken bridleway marker just off the A112. The road bends left, passing the junction to Lipits Hill, and then rises.

A tough opening section flattens where you reach the farm buildings on both sides of the road. A strong whiff of manure is just what you need to propel you up the following lump onto the hardest section. The well-surfaced stretch with a 12% gradient winds past large gated properties on both sides, levelling slightly halfway up. The final sector heads into tree cover and the brow comes opposite a bridleway, after which there are just a few hundred meters of false flat before the climb ends at the junction of Church Road.

May 12, 2024,North East London to Ethos Coffee loop
Didn't actually visit Ethos Cafe sadly as it was closed by the time we passed!
That was a great ride apart of nasty crash after hitting a pothole and front wheel puncture. Last 12 miles where much longer than expected.
