Easy Blackmore loop

The ride starts next to the Maypole Pub (now closed). We are quickly into country roads where we will head towards Blackmore village for our half way stop. There is a hill at the beginning and at the end of the route but otherwise is very flat. We will regroup before and after any hill and take a relaxed steady ride out and back.

A relaxed 26 miles to Blackmore village and back through lovely Essex lanes with a tea room stop half way

The ride is mainly on quiet roads with little traffic. There are a couple of hills but nothing unmanageable and we will regroup at the top.

There will be a stop at one-off the lovely Blackmore tea rooms so bring money for coffee and cake (or more if you prefer).

As the ride is on public roads helmets should be worn. Riders should also bring a spare inner tube and a pump to be able to fix a puncture. If the weather is warm please bring at least one water bottle

This ride is aimed at building confidence on roads. If you are looking to increase distance and/or want more experience out on the roads, then come along. We will ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one will be left behind
