Anyone in Essex up for a ride

[bigfella]

I have a hard tail Giant XTC SE, wondering if anyone is in Essex. Perhaps show me the routes/rides so I can get fit again.

Maybe something regular?

Several others will be catching the train from London Liverpool Street as long as there are not engineering works on the line. For me a nice 20 mile warm up ride

Well I'm on the C2C line which goes out towards Southend but I'm sure I could ride to the Liverpool St. line. I'll see how I get on with the rides to work. Its been some years since I've been into biking and I don't want to drag any fit cyclists down!

rainham to romford station is only a couple of miles. i'll be going by train as long as they're not f*cked up by engineering work.these rides are really good fun nobody gets left behind.

Well its a month away from now so I think its feasible - what bike do you have?

Sig has a fast bike with a big wodge of cherry cake stuck to the side!

Nah - big fella...no one gets left - Sig and FatFellowFromFixeditso are right. Do it. For me it's 132km from home and I'm wondering what time to get up...

 

[bigfella]

Well I have just bought a load of gear for my bike now so I need to recoup some cost.

I will say yes for now, but need to get into it again - I haven't ridden properly for over 5 years.

Sig (hope you don't mind me calling you that) has been kind enough to show me the route into London. I am determined to ride to work and get into it now the mornings are brighter.

Hopefully that will give me a few rides to get used to things and I will come along.

 

[bigfella]

Well I've decided to have a ride tomorrow morning if anyone is around my way.

[bigfella]

Don't tempt me!! I'm supposed to be laying off the cake!

Just been out this morning for 45 mins, rode around Ingrebourne Hill and back. Its been about 12-18 months since I've been on my bike!

Did only 4.5 miles in the end but I have just got back, showered and feeling pretty good after the exercise.

That's the body releasing dopamine as a reward.

Enjoy.
