CycleChat Ride - 2 May - Manningtree/Colchester/Tiptree (i.e. north-east Essex)

[4F]

I shall ask Uncle James to be prepared to be the broom van for all the busted knees and rictus grins as you spin wildly whilst descending Cox's Hill at 40mph.

Excellent, sounds like I may break my record of 150 rpm

Ohhhh, this hill, is it long and fast? No blind corners? 50mph+ possibly?

I did the route today. 'Tis a very fast hill indeed, look at my max speed and the spike on the graph from my Garmin 205!

 

[Davywalnuts]

I swear youve broken the land speed record for a self-propelled vehicle!

Being your a lady of North Essex and on three wheels too with out any Campagnola in sight, thats going to piss some old farts off! hehehe!

lol erm gift? i thought you were treating me??

anyhoo, after i succesfully navigated through the wastelands of south london, im confident of being able to happen upon Manningtree with little more than a google map print out and a smattering of good fortune

and a torch perhaps?
