Count me in. I've had a chat with a friend who used to live there with regards to Fish n Chips or pubs for lunch. I'll make a few calls.
Adam, may I just say that is a great route. Do you know the area?
EDIT: The Jolly was one of the venues my friend mentioned.

I just altered the one you linked to!
The first bit once you get to Hackney really follows my route for the Dun Run for a little while, and then I know the bit around Stapleford, but then once past the M25 it's unknown territory.
This is your ride Abs, you have to be in

It was the Stapleford reroute that drew my attention. I used to live at the far end of the track (Albyns Lane) off the roundabout at the bottom of the hill.

This sounds a good ride, never been to Maldon.
Either Sat or Sun should be OK for me. Lets hope for reasonable weather.

Aha - I went down Albyns Lane last year, reccing the route for the M25. At the time, I foolishly followed someone else's route for that section, so I ended up doing some "interesting" cross country bits under the M25 and on footpaths on the other side. Shame I wasn't on a mountain bike..........
There's a beautiful open air theatre at Willow Cottage on the end of the Southern branch of the road. It was easy to get tickets when I lived effectively next door. Ah those where the days.
Would a 7:30am meet up with an 8am start be too early for folks?
I'm basing that on a 12:30/1 lunch with a 15-30 minute half way stop at an average of 14mph using BikeRouteToaster as the journey time estimator (4 hours) and allowing for "incidents".
Still looking for a suitable midway point and making a few calls to see what's open and can supply tea n coffee to warm us up. I also need to call the lunch venues as well which I plan to do this week.

Positive halfway point with slight detour to Blackmore. The Blackmore Tea Rooms, open from 9:30 till 4:30. They sounded very lovely and accommodating and can prepare for us if we call ahead. No purpose built bike stands/locks but plenty of street debris to lock to.
