Yep.... Last ride before i move, so going for the big one!!! Mixed terrain with gradual climbs and decents, not technical, just endurance.

Loop Route:

Tilbury Asda carpark. By road and trail to Coalhouse Fort. Big road section through back lanes to Stifford and onto the Mardyke walk. All the way to Aveley and then across to pick up the trails at Belhus. Its then single track and fire trails to Rainham. Its then a mixed ride until we pick up the RSPB centre at Rainham Marshes. Stop for a bit of tea at the centre, and then ride the sea wall back to the start...

Ive never done the loop this big, but itll be over 30 miles, and will probably take about 3 hours, approx.

Start at Asda Tilbury - 10am'ish ride out.

So, anyone man enough to do this with me???? :twisted:

Btw... Im doing this on an Enduro bike, so this won't be a XC whippets pace.

Good luck with the move, Nick :thumbup:
