Lovely ride and well timed with me mum's birthday so I can roll up to Ipswich again after we're done.

I may well do this and then ride on into Suffolk. Will see how I feel after the DD.

LEL starts on the 28th, so I can't come along this year unfortunately...

Well up for this! Will check diary...

Nice one!

I'll let you off this once, Jordan

Hello, what time roughly do you think you'll be going through Great Dunmow? I live in Beds so could meet up. And are you all super fast, because I am decidedly not!

I'd love to come on this =)

Fantastic!

Probably going to miss this, as it's too close to Dunwich (which for me is taking up an entire weekend).

I'm gutted, frankly.

Me too. Oh dear. Hope that doesn't put too many other people off - this ride does have the benefits of daylight, water meadows and corracles.

Reckon I'll be in for this, yo. Not list-jinxing yet though.

I went wild swimming at the weekend, it was fantastic! Unfortunately I can't make this ride though :(

tentatively in, if not last-minute hill-reccying.

Would be lovely to have you aboard!

I need to do the maths, but I want to say about 11am - will analyse the garmin data and post something more definitive. We'll be going steadily - but not fast. Come along!

haven't seen you for aaages!
and really wanted to do this last year...
going to do some not-exactly-wild but at least freshwater swimming this weekend I hope (Annecy)

Oooh - lovely. And yes, it has been a very long time.

Looks like a nice spin and great timing, looking forward to my first forum ride for a year.

visiting Framlingham Castle that day - otherwise would be tempted!

I thought I was riding to Framlingham, the nice sloping market square in my mind, when I followed road signs to Wickham Market on Sunday morning.

I went for my acclimatising dip in Hampstead Ponds tonight. Very, very lovely. The weather for Sunday doesn't look quite so scorching - but at least we won't overheat on the ride out.
