Breeze to Ongar Cafe, well deserved

We will be leaving Harlow and be heading out via Epping Green where we we continue towards Ivy Chimneys and Abridge. We then have a long drag upwards and head towards Ongar where we will stop for refreshments at a little Cafe. Most of the hard work takes place in the first half of this ride and the return via Moreton and Threshers Bush will feel a little easier.

This is a 37 mile loop with 1,669ft climbing and is on mainly quiet roads. Suitable for Road bikes or hybrid bikes with road tyres, this ride is for those confident of cycling on the road and wanting to put in a little effort before eating.

Please ensure that your bike is in good working order, especially the brakes as there are a couple of descents as well as climbs. You should be carrying as a minimum one replacement inner tube suitable for your bike and a bottle of water. Please also remember money for the refreshment stop.
