Dear fellow Fridays,
With just under 72 hrs until our departure on the first FNRttC ride of 2016 we now have 75 people signed up.
Apologies for not including the link to the new route in my last email but for those who like to know where they will be cycling please use this link to view the route
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/12587091
Though the route is urban and functional to the halfway stop at the Services at Junction 31 of the M25. Once we leave we will be exploring new lanes and delights as we head north towards almost Stock before we start heading south again to Southend.
Once in Southend we will be visiting Beaches Bistro
http://www.beachesbarbistro.co.uk/ as the new breakfast stop which could be a rival to Waterfront in Whitstable for sea views with the added bonus of beer being available for those who feel the need from our arrival.
Sadly the Norwegians are forecasting the possibility of periods of rain in the early hours of Friday morning around Rayleigh but this still a long term forecast so fingers crossed that things will improve.

As Beaches Bistro are opening early especially for us can ask that anyone who decides that the ride is no longer for them could they please reply to this email by putting the words 'No Thanks' in title by lunchtime on Wednesday so I can let them know approximate numbers.
Looking forward to seeing you all at 11,45pm on Thursday night by the Arch in the middle of Hyde Park Corner
Titus
Southend Ride Leader.
