Mid ESSEX February Ride

[1LegRikk]

Had a test ride today, but had to throw in the towel just before stock and turn right to billericay as the driving snow for the previous 7-8 miles was just a little to much, typically halfway back to billericay the sun came out

..well you did better than me..I took one look at the snow shower and wimped out totally...

Weather forecast looking a bit wintry - snow and temperature of 0 degrees!

One of my chums might well come along on the ride as well, BOAB, so you can add 'Richard' with a question mark to the list!

 

[BigonaBianchi]

Hopefully the snow and ice will have long gone by the weekend, however if there is snow/ice on Saturday I will take the decision to re schedule the ride for safty reasons. Please therefore check in on this thread as late as possible on Friday night in case this becomes necessary.

Hi, I'd like to come along, if the weather's a bit better and if I can get my recumbent bike on the train at Stratford.

Metcheck's improved its forecast for Saturday now - no snow, just cloudy and cold. Keeping my fingers crossed!

South Londoner's Rallying For Essex Ride.

Just a message for any of the London crew who are going up to Essex by train from Liverpool St.

I am planning to be @ The London Eye for 9am Saturday Feb 7th.
I will wait until 9:15 and then set off for London Bridge(The Bridge not the Station)to meet the Bromley Set @ 9:30.

From there we will head straight to Liverpool St. with plenty of time to buy tickets/stow bikes, etc.

If you want to join the ride, please let me know and I'll have a mental list of who I'm waiting for.

Again, if anyone wants my mobile number just send me a PM.

bbc predicting sunshine, but a high temp of 0

 

[BigonaBianchi]

..so long as there is no snow or ice we will ride. Some of the lanes on this loop do not get salted or gretted so if the weather is like it is today (six inches here...erm...snow I mean) somebody is sure to get hurt so I would reschedule on that basis, but hopefully all will be ok on the wevver front. Obviuosly it's your own call but I ride with a set of lights fitted on this loop as there is a stretch of A road on the run up to Brentwood and ...well nuff sedded...each to his/her own on that front.

I just remembered that if anybody wants a sandwich b4 the off there is a sandwich bar at the station.

Just been out for a fab ride in bright sunshine and only one small patch of ice – a real contrast to yesterday's blizzard! I hope that we have a day like this on Saturday as it'll be wonderful!
