Re: 25/07/15 - Essex Rideout
The first stretch of the ride has had 20mph stone chip signs up for the past three weeks, still nothing. Then that part of the B184 was stone chipped with zero warning. It was perfectly fine last week end, no stone chipping and didn't really need doing.XMax400Paul wrote:Thanks Funkie for showing us the Essex A and B roads, gravel strewn lanes and the famous Ongar chippings...
Some nice lanes and a bit of hedge swinging!
For me it was only 102miles (the length of the ride) and 2 miles (to get to the start and back

Re: 25/07/15 - Essex Rideout
RIGHT, a few pictures! 
After traveling for three hours to get to the start point, passing a few pile ups on route, like a bull seeing red I B-lined for the essentials before the pleasantry's were exchanged. Priority's sorted.
A while later during the ride we paused at one of Funkys Dogging hotspots for a quick team building exercise.....
Funkys Max
Micheal's beast
Clive checking for oil patches on the floor.....
Liam trying to explain how big something the group was looking at was....
with Pauls Mean looking Xmax!
My rear end
No matter how I tried I was caught on camera
All in all a really nice day, stretching the Max's legs, Once home we had some quality time with a shammy before bed. Thanks again Funky!

If you remember, you met up with a few of us, at a Travelodge before an Ugly Bunch trip to France. 2 or 3 years ago??
Mummy taught me to always be polite!
