Oh wow, just woke up after the most solid sleep I have had in weeks. Rain is pounding down outside, lucky we missed that.
For this ride I had wanted just to get out of town quickly and when I read about the 'Cycletrack' from the 1930's running the length of the Southend Arterial Road I was intrigued.
It was fast, flat but fucking dangerous, I do not recommend this route.
The way back however, even in the wind, was excellent, the climbs (which I'd looked carefully to strip out) were benign. Do definitely say it is worth training out to come back in this way.
Toward the end we got a bit stretched out but everybody made it back to the city-limits together.
