Will do. Thanks. Hope your wife is ok now.
She's fine now, thanks, but it took about 3 months for her to fully recover.

Anyone up for an early (ish) ride in the morning?
I will be going out at about 6.30 for a 10 -15 miler probably Orsett area or South Ockendon area.

I'll hopefully be out at some point tomorrow, possibly a little later than @Dave the Smeghead (I admire your commitment sir!) heading out from Billericay but flexible on route if anyone's about

Ok then, anyone about at the weekend? It's a long one for most of us and I can finally concentrate on cycling after spending the last couple of months preparing for the Moonwalk with the rugby club

Ok so I'm reasonably flexible over the weekend, My possibles are so far:
Yellow Jersey in Billericay High St are doing a social ride tomorrow at 9 (prev tweets suggest 25miles at 15mph)
Possible some sort of lazy Orchid recce with a friend on Sunday (timing tbc- he'll be on MTB w/ slicks), potentially incorporating a link with the Ingatestone Pedallers ride at at 10 (again tbc)
Have a family gig on the Monday but assuming I'm not required to light a bbq at dawn , could be dragged out for a prompt one.
Haven't really made my mind up/finallised on any of the above so let me know if any one is keen

Did you ever get anything sorted , I'm in Great Baddow and ride Billericay, Haningfields , Sandon, about 25 miles , looking to build on that ,Saturday or Sunday about 15/16 mph , also doing London to Southend if anyone is interested
When is the London to Southend? I'm new to cycling but would fancy a few local rides, I'm in Benfleet so anywhere around here, ideally quite roads to begin with.

London to Southend is Sunday 19th July, not that hard 52 miles with very few hills, think the worst is A406 up past Grange Hill tube station, then it's the very quiet roads around ongar and the hanningfields down to south woodham ferris and down to Southend

The easiest 52 miles you'll ever do.The worse bit is the stop/start at traffic lights going through london.

Not a problem we did the Billericay 40 mile yesterday, wasn't looking forward to it, but riding with a group made it so much easier , I can highly recommend the mechanics from Yelllow Jersey in Billericay who were the onroute mechanics and were very good
