Lilley Bottom Segment

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A classic segment for local cyclists, thanks to a nice gradient, few junctions and little traffic - the area being sort of underdeveloped "thanks" to the air traffic at nearby Luton airport, which won't bother you with the wind in your ears. Funny name, too.

Hexton Road to Lilley

Highlight • Cycleway

A nice section of relatively quiet road north of Lilley. It's undulating rather than hilly and very nice to avoid the busy A6 or A505 which I wouldn't recommend.

A local legend! Steep and straight, you'll know you've been up a hill! Great views from the top though.
