Mid ESSEX February Ride

[ianrauk]

OI make a bleedin' decision...
I've downloaded the gpx file for my gps.. so makes up yer mind., one way or t'other..B)

I almost always ride it clockwise..that way you get the A road out of the way first and there is no need to go up the biggest incline on the loop right at the end of the ride when tired.

27.7 Kmph = 17.2 mph ave today...bit slower than yesterday. It's anice loop I really enjoy riding it..it's got pretty much everything.

Looks like it's gonna be a good'un. B on a B can you do anything about the weather? Sunny and dry would be nice.

Hey everyone,

Am David from Cycle Social!

Just wanted to say thanks for the invite and organisation going on for this cycle, much appreciated!

Ill be coming up to Waterloo from the Staines Massive and cycling across to Liverpool street for the train to Billericay, just needing to know if anyone and what time, provisionally, are doing the same, just to save me being on my lonesome!

Thanks!

What a debut! We/you could be anybody!

Good to see a complete newbie up for the Essex run.

There are a few who have already posted here who will be taking the train from London. Either re-read a few pages for some info or I'm sure said forumers will let you know of their intentions.

Welcome to CC, BTW!

I recon if we get a few more people on this ride we will be able to get the police to close the roads for us.

I was hoping to get my new bike built for this, but probably won’t get it done in time to test ride it properly. Best to use the Marin I think just in case it all falls to bits or the lovely looking blue leather seat is more a thing of beauty than comfort.

10:15 is perfect for me, thanks!

Sounds good to me.

With buying tickets in plenty of time, etc. when do the Sarf Lundun crew want to meet at Waterloo?

Dagnamit, I might be coming again now
Depends on how the Friday night pans out I guess. Although I am normally immune to bad hangovers.
