2011-09-17 Sat - Clacton-on-Sea - Last Ride of the Summer

Clacton-on-Sea Ride Saturday the 17th of September.
The distance is around 130KM, mainly flat.

Leaving Victoria Park (East Drinks Pub) 9:00AM

Fish and Chips, train back.

**
PLEASE NOTE:
Hi everybody, sorry if this comes as a surprise and I hope no-one takes it personally.

****Please only bring a fixed or single speed bike on this ride.

Sorry to change the rules late in the day but after Herne Bay I have realised I never want to lead a mixed country ride ever again.**

This is a casual, shorts and t-shirts ride(that waits for everybody) to the coast with fish & chips and beer waiting.

This is not a race, or a training session, or to be taken at all seriously, you do not need any special equipment or clothing.

You are welcome on gears if you have a problem with your knees etc.
For the able-bodied none of the distances we are covering or the riding speeds warrant them and I would prefer you brought your fixed.

Nothing like planning ahead.

You bet your bollocks to a barn dance. This sounds perfect!

Sounds grand...I'm in! Will see if my brother fancies it as he's caught the bug somewhat since Sunday's London Classic.

It was reasonably paced last year, 7 hours something like that? No pub stops, people riding with beers etc.

^^ Wasn't there one pub stop? - Somewhere near "Fingerinhoe". Or maybe I just laughed so much my memory thinks I must have been at a pub

This ride is between the Italian and Singapore Grands Prix, so I should be able to make it.

Bump cos the Brummies are planning on invading (which is great), reminded me to sign up and plan for this. Gonna be ace. Just rode to Shoeburyness on the first half of this route last week, it was lovely! Stopped at the Bear at Stock for a pinto, happy as Larry.
