The 'Round Chelmsford' ride sounds interesting.
Will anyone be going fixed or is that not recommended?
North Hill (and then really only the 2 steep ramps on it) will probably be an obstacle for anything but the most generous ratios, but its no Galibier so walking for the 50 yards or so on the steepest bits shouldn't be too much of an issue! I don't know the exact route but being a Chelmsfordian I know the roads all around fairly intimately - and trust me, you will not need newspaper down your jersey for long twisting alpinesque descents.

Any chance of linking the route Oliver?
