Hello Cat,

Billericy, which isn't to far for you. Maybe a slow warm up on route

I know they do a few rides on Sunday mornings. A friend of mine is a member and says they are a good friendly bunch. Nice countryside etc

There are also some rides out of Upminster on sunday mornings

yeah i was aware of Essex Roads and the place in upminister..

Have you ever been on the upminister rides? if so what are they like?

The Essex Castle ride on July 17th - 50 or 75 mile options. Starts Colchester. See www.bike-events.co.uk I'm doing it again this year.

Hi Cat,

I'm just riding by myself at the moment or with friends. 20 years of bodly abuse takes a while to shift and I didn't want to be dropped!

Getting fairly fit now I think, so might pop along myself.

I don't ride by myself just incase i full off sounds silly but with my new road shoes & pedals, i just have that worry. The OH works a lot so his not around very often for me to go out, so for me its more gym training, which is a shame!

Hence why i wouldnt mind getting involved in a club, its a shame that the only ones they really have is upminister or collier row, i know i can cycle to both these, but dont want to do long ride then have to cycle home

If your attending the upminister one, let me know how you get on Good Luck x
