A sore ankle and the Cycle Show means I am running this ride a few weeks later than planned; see earlier threads.
**The Joy of Essex,
**
This is a trip to the Essex Country side and back, leaving Walthamstow @ 9.00 am and then heading out through Epping Forest. Once past Epping and N Weald we hit the empty lanes of the N Essex country side so you can discover the joys of cycling in Essex. It’s not all furry dice, white socks and white stilettos.
The route will be fixed /single speed friendly , done at a steady pace with no one getting dropped or lost,
Its especially suitable for some one wanting to start to do longer rides and who’d like to find out how to ride out from East London to the Essex Lanes. There will be a stop at the famous High Beach tea hut and lunch at Ashlyn’s farm on the return leg. The turn around point will probably be Matching Green. We should be back by 2 pm. The early start is necessary so we can clear the morning rush in Woodford.
Coffee and cakes may be available on departure.
