Essex clubs

I belonged to Crest (Ilford) in the mid to late 70's but life and railway work took over an I left in the early 80's...They used to meet on the Leytonstone/Stratford Border and when I rejoined in the early 90's they were meeting at Redbridge.I left again soon after as my work had taken over again.I see they meet in Chingford now.

Possibly I'm looking to rejoin but probably when I retire and have more energy and have recovered from many years of shift work.

Great club and I did some very enjoyable club runs in the 70's which probably explained why I got hooked on cycling and never went with the crowd in investing in a car.

Ah....our paths may have crossed then, I was at the Crest mid 80's for about 7 years (if I recall.)
Unfortunately I don't have such a glowing reference from my time with them, but seems like they've got a good few members these days so guessing things may have changed !

If you are interested in easier social social rides, check out the Central London Outdoor Group: http://www.clog.org.uk. This is an all-London group but they have lots of rides in Essex and Herts - typically 20 to 30 miles - with stops for lunch, tea and taking pictures. Fun cyclists rather than serious "tarmac-eaters".

And they also do other things like walking, kayaking, trips away etc. Been a member for years and made lots of friends and explored lots of places...

I may do that, need to check with the administration department. I'm doing the ride for helen tomorrow if anyone else is doing that? No real reason other than its a charity close to my wife's family so thought i'd do it
