When the current A10 was constructed bridleway Standon 41 was cut in half. An underpass was put in (see Standon 92) and this has been used by walkers cyclists and some riders. Other riders have used bridleways 89 and 88 to use an alternative underpass to the south, which has more headroom, but is shared with motor vehicles. Standon 41 bridleway starts on Ermine Street (the old A10) by St Mary's Church, and runs generally southeastwards to a junction with Standon 88 bridleway then north east to the underpass. There is a short piece of Standon 88 bridleway to ride to return to Standon 41, which then continues generally east and southeast to a junction with bridleway Standon 43, and then further eastwards to end on Barwick Road.
