Havering LCC ride out of Upminster on Sundays and Gateway CC ride from the Grays area. Otherwise there is a 23 mile Skyride Local at 10:00 on Sunday 17th from Seven Kings Park.

If you want to organise one I'm sure some of us would venture out of London for it . . . .

Thanks for the info Mr cellophane, and Becs i will look into arranging one - i did just complete a 35 mile route in Chelmsford which was pretty good there is some nice scenery in Essex..

I am trying to get in shape as i want to do the London to Paris ride next year, the charity i rode for on the 35 mile trip is looking to host a ride to Paris next year, sounds llike a good crack. Although i wont be dressing up as a fairy this time i can only take being whistled at so many times LOL.

Essex is a short hop to London, Lucas. There are Sunday bimbles, usually, which describe a circuit of London, commencing from Wellington Arch, at Hyde Park Corner (Google is your friend).
Check out the FNRttC thread, or the blogspot, which will give details of 'Weirwolf Rides' (don't worry - that only applies to the women who do them) to the Coast - be it Bognor, Brighton, Southend, Whitstable or Swansea - who knows?
As Becs mentioned, there are many who could hightail it to, say Brentwood, meet for a ride and disappear back to London. Some of us have been known to 'disappear' all night long! (But that's Andy and Dave's fault - my error has long since been forgotten)
The North Sea is nice - but unwelcoming.
Read 'Sunday London Ride' to get a flavour, and sort yourself out. This Sunday is a 'special' for a CycleChat member from St Louis, Missouri - he will be pleased to see you!
Edit: 'i' not 'a'
