Local cycling club?

[sight-pin]

I came across 20 or 30 cyclist riding in the opposite direction today whilst on my 10 mile loop.
Would anyone know if it was a club ride, or a pre booked ride? as i can't find any mention after searching on line.
We crossed paths at around 12pm today, near 'Maylands Path, South Fields, Dunton Essex' area

They seemed to be having a great time, some smiled and said hi, and looked to be around my age mid sixties (hope i'm not insulting anyone with that remark ) The type of club i'd be interested in joining if i can?.

TIA

Edit, Sorry, I can't get the google link to show the correct area.

Did you Strava record it? you can see who came near you/ was on the road at the same time as you using Strava labs if you did. (shot in the dark!)

Alas no, only with Garmin 200

Can you not upload to Strava from the 200? Depends how badly you wish to track them down!

Ah i may be able to?, if this doesn't produce any results i'll give it whirl later, Cheers for that.

Could have been the local CTC.

I managed to upload to Strava, but couldn't find any mention of passing anyone. Oh well! I'll just keep a look out for them next time. cheers.

try this http://labs.strava.com/flyby/ - basically you put the url of your ride in and it will show everyone that you passed that have also uploaded to strava

Ah! thanks, That's how you find the Flyby's. Shows one pass by but not where we crossed paths. Cheers
Oh well, maybe i'll catch up to them on another ride. Thanks all.

On another note, I already had joined Strava the other day but i never used it and just carried on with Garmin.
It was worth this post just to get to know Strava, i think it's really good, Thanks

If you select the rider that passed and tick the little box beside their name, then click play then it should show whereabouts you passed by. Its quite a fun tool to play about with

That is so cool, I could waste far too much time watching little icons flit around the map :-)

I plugged in my data from a 42 mile sportive from a few weeks back- it came up with loads of people that followed my route, fun to watch them all flying around, stopping at feed stations, carrying on, slowing for hills etc.
I say 'fun' it's more fun than actually doing work...!
