Fortyfoot Road
See the video/comment on youtube.
Fortyfoot Road is 1090 meters long (0.68 miles) which took me 2.19 minutes to ride, at an average speed of 18.63 mph. It is a BOAT (byway open to all traffic). You can expect to find:
- A non tarmac surface
- Grassy trail
Council say:
(also known as ‘Nash Street’) Surface recently improved. Seasonal closure in place from November to April.
My description:
Often TRO'd to anything with 4 wheels.
Beware the thin ruts, can get cross rutted on this one!

In the early 90s this was quite overgrown and never dried out and was, therefore, quite tricky to ride.
I went head first into the river halfway down when the front wheel of my 600LC4 caught a rut wrong and steered me straight at it. Some branches caught the bike but I swan dived into the water. Fortunately no one saw it or got it on film ;-)My riding buddies all wondered why I was so wet when I emerged from the lane.
It has since been cleared of a lot of the trees, letting the wind get in and so is drier and much easier to ride now.
