General Shit & Ride Planning

Rayleigh/Leigh/Benfleet/Thundersly area is where i'm at, and I'm in!

hi Guys, not logged on for a while but i am very interested in this. i live in langdon hills.

i have fixed, geared and a mountain bike so i am very flexable.

Ride from Brentwood area down to Southend on Saturday then? People can join as we pass. Any benfleet, basildon guys know a good route heading southeast? Would rather not do the A13 route

i will be unable to make this saturday. sorry.

a good route from brentwood would be hutton, ramsden bellhouse, wickford, rochford and onto little wakering. all minor roads or back roads can be taken.

I'm in for Saturday. New road bike should have arrived by then!

That route looks good Hoaxman. So anyone else want to ride saturday down to southend and have a couple of pints? It's about 30 miles from brentwood. Anyone who wants to join on the way send me a PM and we can arrange

Yeah got my fixed if not.

Finish at the beach north of Shoeburyness, then find a pub for a bevvie, get the train back after. How's that sound?

Sounds good to me!

Anyone else going to join us tomorrow? A couple of us are doing a longer ride on Sunday as well, so we'll probably just do a shorter loop round blackmore, writtle way.

Don't be shy, we don't bite

Fun ride earlier, great to know that more people are enthusiastic to get out and ride in our fine county.

Today we got out as far as Fyfield...

...then decided to move swiftly on to the pub after spotting some sinister crows

looks like a good route, gutted I missed it now.

Great ride Saturday, gutted to see there were spare spaces on the Sunday ride...

Yeah it was good, although I was utterly knacked after doing the 30 miles Saturday then Foulness and Upminster-Shenfield on the way home. I was having a 'mare up Brook St Hill

^ HTFU!

^^Good to meet you on Saturday, Matt. I estimate that the route was between 35 and 40 miles - I'll upload the exact route for posterity a bit later.

Careful, I heard creating a login is a lot of work

Ride this weekend? I was going to do the clacton-on-sea ride with london people but they've decided they want a fixed/ss only ride. Anyone want to do it starting from Essex with no restriction on set up?

yes please, sunday would be perfect. leg fixed and raring to go

Arrggghhh!!! Torn between watching the TT in London or actually riding my bike...

What's that? The Vuelta?

The tour of Britain, finishes with a TT and then a circuit race in the afternoon.

Sounds good, you should go.

Could both of you do Saturday?

Yeah could do Saturday.

i could swing saturday, if i make her indoors dinner tonight then i get 100 bonus points to use at any time.

where were you thinking Stu?
