upminster nightime rides

[Heigue'r]

Due to long hours after work and family life, is there anyone that rides around Upminster at night? Thinking of heading st marys ln on to warley st-gt warley st on to Tomkyns ln-bird ln-hall ln, what are peoples opinion of this route at night time?
Thanks
Vinny

I often use Warley St and Bird lane at night. As long as you've got a decent set of lights you should be alright. The only bit thats gives me any concerns is round the A127 overbridge. Bird lane is obviously VERY dark at night.

Given that Upminster is the end of the Freedom Pass zone - your rides could attract a throng of London based geriatrics on Brommies. Nice niche market if you are brave or even very brave

I'm with PRob go with good lights

could always head to RSPB Rainham I've noticed an increase with the number of people doing Laps there only problem being the gates slowing you down.

Staying away from cakes for now, perhaps when im capable of burning the calories ill sample them, cakes have help me to find my new hobby
