Description
Meet at Le Delice 8.00 to ride to Liverpool St or meet at Liverpool St at 9.10 to pick up the train to Wickford (38 minute train ride) then a circular ride around mostly quiet lanes down to the Blackwater Estuary and picturesque Heybridge Basin, where we'll lunch. There's a choice of venues (two pubs and a cafe). Not as hilly as our Kent rides, but still a bit of climbing, as we head from sea level to descend Essex's highest hill during the ride. About 55 miles. Moderate to hard ride on mostly quiet lanes with a couple of busier short stretches on B roads but nothing too bad. Hopefully back in London by 6pm, but bear in mind this is dependent upon speed of group, possible mechanicals etc. Read our general ride information on http://lewishamcyclists.co.uk/general-ride-information/ and if you still have questions contact the Ride leader Jane 07826559603.
