That looks like a cross between the first part of the Dunwich Dynamo (through Epping forest out to Great Dunmow) and the loop I did with Islington Cycling Club a few weeks ago via Woodford. They’ve left out some of the best climbs though: Mott Street, Claypit Hill, Woodridden Hill, Toot Hill, and so on.

It’s not a course you’d want to do on open roads, some very busy roads there normally, and a conscious choice to avoid the country roads which local cyclists use (like me).

It’s not a hilly route overall, gets a bit hilly round Epping but apart from that fairly flat to undulating.
