  • Avoid the B194 coming out of Waltham Abbey. Probably one of the scariest cycling experiences of my life when I rode out last year. Half of the population of Essex seem to use it as their commute out of London and they're in a rush! Have fared better along there mid year when it's lighter for longer. The station restaurant do good cake though.

    I just checked.

    I hit this road at about 6pm. It was horrific. I bonked just after Nazeing. Not a single shop or garage between Waltham Abbey and Roydon. I was seriously conidering knocking on a door and begging for a biscuit.

    What a total rookie error.

    I hope you all had a good ride?

  • If that makes you feel any better, naze in French is slang for 'rubbish' (as an adjective). Or 'knackered' or 'broken'. Never fails to make me chuckle.

    Our dear leader was missed, as were a number of turns, a puncture was had not 100 yards into the sprint, great ride! Nice to be back on the lanes.
