A more hilly route (at least as hilly as it gets round here) taking you over the high mountain passes to the West of Walden.
The 3h tempo route takes you more to the NorthWest, slightly flatter.
Care should be taken crossing the A505 and A10 on the 3h tempo route.

A nice rolling route that heads down through Stansted and then eastwards, through Thaxted for the shorter rides and looping up to Steeple Bumpstead for the longer.
Care should be taken on the road down to Stansted, though traffic should be quiet at that time of day.
On the 3h tempo route care should be taken coming back through Hempstead as traffic can back up - consider going in singles and leaving a gap for cars to hop through if necessary.
