16/07/16 - Third Annual Essex/Herts/Cambs Ride out

[road runner]

I will be up for this one!

[DoubleB]

I should be able to make the 16th, will be good to put faces to names

[Funkycowie]

I now have a planned route, I'll ride it a couple of times between now and the 16/07

The first section according to Google Maps is 2 hours so I will be planning 3 hours... which means a 09:30 start time from the McD's.... which will likely be closer to 09:50 judging by how things go usually.

There will be a rest stop in Rayne for hopefully food if we can find parking.

The second part should be about an hour, if that, and should take us back to the start.

16th provisionally in my diary.

Went for a solo bimble today x country to Haverhill,then A1307 to Cambs look around the city (and Cambs Ducati) A10 to Royston (nice fast straights lots of overtakes) A120 then x country to Wimbish,Thaxted, Gt Dunmow (Ongar Triumph)

Then A120 home before a bit more countryside to front door

That sounds good Funky. Put me down for it. I'll have to confirm nearer the time as I'd like to get away for a bit of tenting sometime but I doubt I'll have got around to it by then.

I assume that meeting time etc. will be posted nearer to the event.
