THE CYCLING CLIMBS OF EAST ANGLIA

The marginally harder route up to Brockley Green from Kedington, Cock Hill is a substantial effort followed by 1.2km of false flat.  Leaving Rectory Road, the first 600m are set on a surprisingly constant 7-8% gradient which you will more than notice.  Here, the road winds charismatically through a pair of sweeping bends.  The toil ends with a brick wall, where the road plateaus.  Push on though, despite the lack of noticeable gradient, the second half is an enjoyable ride over arable farmland.
