Hey guys, thought I'd post a quick intro here - rode Thorndon a bit on my own last year... Thinking of starting again soon - Some days I'll be riding from upminster up through warley gap to work at Ford then after work go for a blast down the gap then round Thorndon.... Be good to meet some of you guys for a ride sometime...

The ride home as a joy, and very fast :D

Be good to know better routes though as I either go down Warley Gap, then left past the golf course across into Thordon and down to the halfway house then road through West Hordon to Upminster, or just Warley Gap then B186 to Upminster... Problem is any time after 5 those roads are not nice...... Blinkered drivers trying to get home as fast as possible!
