Was supposed to ride Thorndon today, but after a late night, I didn't get out of bed until almost 10 o'clock. So quick phone call to my mate, bike loaded on the car and I'm off to Canvey to ride one of his favourite treks from his house, that I've never done before..... We basically rode along the creek out of Canvey to the bottom of benfleet, then followed the creek all the way down to the cockle sheds at old Leigh, then up on the road to chalked end of Southend. From there we went back on ourselves, but left the road just past leigh station and single tracked it all the way to Hadleigh Castle, which has an epic hill climb!!!! After a 15 min break, we then rode the fire trail back down to the bottom of the hill all the back to the creek, and made our way back into Canvey...... In total, clocking up a mixed terrain 17.5miles.
Loved it, really good ride...... So, if anyone ever wants a break from the usual.Thorndon or Langdon rides, let me know and I'll organise a ride
Will post put up as well in a bit
