London to Southend-on-Sea - And Back!

This is a challenging ride from London to Southend-on-sea - and back! We will follow some of the charity ride route, aiming to get to Southen at Lunchtime where we will stop for something to eat and then head back - it is possible to catch the train back to London from here if you wanted to half your ride to 80 miles. This ride is not for beginners, and participants should be riding a road bike or suitable bike that can keep to a medium pace (approx 19km/hr). There will be parts ridden on busy roads and you must have a helmet for the ride. You will enjoy this ride if you have already progressed to longer distances, are training for a sportif or cycling holiday.  Please bring plenty to drink and a snack and/ or money for lunch and of your train trip back if you want to half the ride.  The Breeze champion carries some tools and will help if anyone has a puncture or basic mechanical issues but we don't carry spare inner tubes so a spare suitable for your bike is essential to bring along as well as any specific tools for your bike.
