80ish fixed-friendly miles from London Fields to Dedham Vale, with swimming at the end for those who want it. So yes, it's the 3rd (well 4th) time I've done this, but I think it is a brilliant route (thanks to Fox and his route fettling) and an amazing spot, so I'm going back.
Suggest we meet 8am at Inn the Park as it's quite a long ride and worth maximising swimming time. Though it is flat it is quite a long way, and we do it at a pretty steady pace, so make sure you and your bike are up to the distance.
There's a Co-op and pubs in Dedham for stocking up on beer and food (and a handily placed river for chilling beer), and a National Trust tea shop by the river, if that's your thing.
Trains back from Manningtree (about 20 mins ride) at 16.19, 16.52, 17.19, 17.52 etc

I really think this is only worth doing if the weather is ok, so I reserve the right to not turn up if it is bucketing down.
