Just because I know there are MTBers in Thurrock I thought I'd let people know that providing it's dryish tomorrow night I'll be leaving the Bannatynes Car Park at 7pm.

I'll head over and through the Davy Down, through Aveley/Belhus, into Belhus Country park, over into Berwick Wood, into Hornchurch Country Park, into Rainham, over Rainham marshes, along the Thames and through the Purfleet RSPB reserve, through Purfleet, up through Lakeside and back to Bannatynes.

The trip is about 18 miles but it totally roll-able.

It would normally take me about 90 mins to do it so I would imagine it wouldn't take longer than 2 hours if others wanted to join (others may even make me faster...).

There are sections of road but nothing that is ever too busy!

Lights are a must - I've only git cheep ones...

Here's their address: Bannatyne's Health Club, Howard Road, Chafford Hundred, Essex, RM16 6YJ. Not sure if they will moan about parking... I've never given them my car reg... but then I'm only two miles away so I'll just ride there

Hi. Would normally be up for a little run out like this as I'm in chafford but injured.. Be interested in future local little spins out.. Maybe chance it next week.. Think I've met u before on a Thornton ride.. U got a 29 er ?

Yep - black Rocky Mountain... I normally try to get out locally on a Wednesday but this week it's going to be Thursday

I'm in

I thought you were miles away?

Brentwood?

Do you do this often i just got my bike today so need to get lights and that soon but spent all my sare chash on bike for the moment but when all bits are collected ill be up for this prob slow you down tho

Fair Play... see you tomorrow night

Most weeks

Ok then well hopefully ill be able to sort out some lights and skid lid and join you soon if you dont mind

Sure thing! Get yourself down to Decathlon if you're on a budget - that's where I got all my first stuff from

How about duck tape a torch to the front and swing by decathlon when going through lakeside lol

You've got the idea... go find some roadworks and 'appropriate' some flashing lights...

Ill have to try get down to decathlon then get some bots will need full outfit really dont have anything to ride in either

Shorts and tshirt is all you need...
