The 'Round Chelmsford' will be on Sunday the 2nd of May, 2010.

This is Cycling Club Hackney's season opener, now in its third year.
The route loops from Hackney around Chelmsford and back and covers around 100 miles. It's mostly flat except for North Hill beyond Chelmsford, which, while apparently the biggest hill in Essex, is not a particularly daunting challenge. The café stop will be in Danbury shortly afterwards, and the ride also passes Pleshey Castle and Hanningfield Reservoir.
We'll ride out to High Beach en bloc, where we'll split up into different groups based on ability. The fast group doesn't take any prisoners and will probably contain CCH's multiple race winners plus other hopefuls (last year, forumengers clintsmoker, taogeogheanhart, and GinaG rode with this group), whereas the slower groups will suit pretty much everyone.
Meet 9am Lee Valley Ice Centre car park, here:

As some forumengers who did this last year will be able to testify, this is a cracking ride. Just don't have any JACKET POTATOES at the café stop. ;)
