Y is it an issue is it muddy there?


Shouldn't be - there will be some but it's a fairly flat ride that is mainly on gravel paths...

Now I've said that it'll be a quagmire!

Lovely evening for a ride. Good to meet you guys that left from Thurrock, would of joined you but already been out for an hour and its along trek from Thurrock back to Upminster. if this is going to be regular then ill havr to meet you down at Thurrock with the car.

Anyone considering the farm track between Cely Woods and the road alongside the Jewish Cemetary would be advised to avoid it. Its fairly firm to start but the last half is a quagmire, difficult to determine in the dark untill you plough through it.
Had to give the drive chain a good clear out afterwards.

Yeah good to see you earlier.... ;)

Well... A 20.8mile night ride is just what the doctor ordered after a term out the saddle. Enjoyed that gents, and will have to be done again ;)

Left gym just after 7 and got back just before 10... but we were taking a very leisurely ride round!

Oh, and Nick & Ian need to post links for their lights... when I was in front of either one of them I might as well have turned mine off...

They'll work but I have to be honest and say that Ian & Nicks lights left me far behind!
