Those are the roads I grew up riding they are ace but the lanes often more gravel bike than road bike though, especially when tractors have dumped loads of mud on them or it's rained and it is like cycling up a stream. Grit and gravel built up on corners at bottom of hills can be terrible. However the descents can be stupidly grin inducing which somehow makes it all seem worthwhile.
This is a very good summation - my girlfriend was a little less trigger happy on the grin enducing (read: white knuckle / am I going to stack it because Iām going way too fast for this surface) descents and got a little angry with me a lot of the time on almost all of the rides š
