Really quick route that's quiet in the morning, and has scenic(ish) bits, roughly:
Old St - Hackney then Queensbridge Rd - Clapton Pond - Lea Bridge Rd - Woodford - Epping - Harlow - Sawbridgeworth - Bishops Stortford - Ugley (!) - Newport - Great Chesterford - Stumps Cross - Sawston - Great Shelford - Cambridge.
Part of this (Ugley to Sawston roundabout) is the outward part of the E1/25b timetrial course. It's do-able in 2.5hrs, comfortably in 4hrs. Can be windy at the Stumps Cross rdbt. Hacking it round the East side of Harlow (new town road scheme) is a blast on the way out.
Alternatively, there's the charity ride route which is more undulating, running West of Bishops Stortford.
