Does anyone have a quite Essex 50-60km loop?

Standard run out and back to Blackmore? About 50 miles, so a bit longer, but you can always shorten it a little by not going to the caff.

Head out via your preferred route--either Snaresbrook Road, underpass under the railway, up towards Chigwell, or via Buckhurst Hill and Chigwell. Then Lambourne End, Stapleford Abbotts, Navestock, Kelvedon Hatch (two ways of approaching it--either via Kelvedon Common or Navestock Side), Hook End, and Blackmore. There's a choice of routes back from Blackmore, too.

Pretty much anywhere in Essex is 'quite Essex', of course. :)

It's just a hunch Dimi but I reckon you meant quiet.

It is very hard to do a truly quiet Essex route that long because you never get far enough away from London.

You could try the route below, but be warned that beyond 23 miles is highly experimental and involves some off road. Quite how off road I don't know as I don't actually seem to ride any more so haven't tested it :(
