Lea Valley CC Club Run , Sunday 19th
10 of us in all were out on Sunday. 6 at the Town Hall and the others joined us @ High Beech. For the first time since the new year a Sunday without frost or rain. A spring day in January. Welcome to David and Lydia who joined us for the first time. Epping Forest looks like its been in trouble . Ditches are streams and there are new ponds in the clearings . Roads have holes and puddles swallow your front wheel; be careful coming down Theydon Mount. We headed to Moreton via Toot Hill and I regret only being on a single speed. At Morerton we decide to head for Hatfield Heath and on the road from Matching Green to Hatfield there's a flood across the road. The cafe there is full and we don't think it wants us so we head to Sawbdridgeworth and briefly enter Hertfordshire for lunch. Back via the side of Harlow and more flooded roads. We come across a cyclist being bandaged up after coming off. Home via the Lavers , Epping and High Beach. Tom says it was 56 miles. I get in and then its bike cleaning , I must get the mudguards fitted.
