dammit you could dude. there will be a few bits that aren't much fun on that though. but yup, no real hills to speak of. i am not a fan of using track gearing for longish road rides but each to their own.

Personally I would have been completely knackerd on 49/15. I was on 48/19 and it's sweet. As above, there are some hills to get up but nothing super long.

OK: keep the gearing easy Dammit, esp as you;re going with less experienced cyclists. They should watch out for the one that had a couple of bends in it around Chigwell/Grange Hill (I know! GRange Hill! I thought it was just a telly place too). And a couple of small but steepish humps on busy roads right near the end that take you by surprise (cos its mostly flat around there) when you're a bit more knackered, they're at Hullbridge and Rochford.

Have fun.

I find climbing is more stressful when its a busyish bit of road as you feel like you're holding up traffic by going slow. Which you are.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
