Jimbo & I will be doing a run to Finchingfield and beyond that I have done many times starting from our side of the world so will not to conflict with the other run already posted.
Pace - Brisk not daft - plenty of scope for extreme ploughing
Start location - this is very close to the M25/J4 so easy access for most people.
Esso Garage here:-
08:15 for a 08:30 prompt start - full tanks - tunnel toll is free.
We will do a boring bit on the M25 to the A12 turn off then the fun starts. This is a similar round robin route to the ones Mouse & Matt used to do - quite challenging.
Brunch at some stage in Finchingfield.
08:15 for a 08:30 prompt start - back about 14:00

Well that didn't go according to plan :-(
Let me know if you are out and about later, seeing as I am already cold and damp having got to J4 and turned around :-( _________________

Took a chance with the weather about 14:00 and managed not to get wet and get a good run in down to Rye - thanks for the company Jim.
Roughie - sorry you had a bit of a wasted journey - we will do the Essex run soon - be great to have you along - bloody weather. _________________ "Those who understand compound interest are destined to collect it.

Thanks for the lead Bob. We were lucky with the weather in the end.
Sorry we didn't invite you this afternoon Roughie, it was a bit spur of the moment!.
I crashed the RSV though! I was doing 0mph and missed my footing coming out of the pub car park (no, I wasn't drunk). A couple of scratches to polish out. I laid it down ever so gently, I was taught by Tusky the Master . _________________ So many roads, so little time. |
