I'd be up for coming along.

As a ex-pat Suffolk boy, I know some great biking roads through Essex.

In fact, just north of Finchingfield (on the way to Haverhill) are some of the better B roads in the area.

And while we're at it, why not blat up to Bury St Edmunds on the A143? Great fast road that.
I agree, cos I live there now, watch out for the 30 limit in Cornish Hall End, occasional home to scameras on bikey weekends. Unfortunately on the 26th "I are be mostly" on the A1 in a Luton van (hopefully for the last time that weekend) trekking the household up to Yorkshire, so you won't be able to giggle at the 125 (no Loser plates at least now wink) so have fun and enjoy the ride.

Cheers,
Rob

I'd be keen to ride first thing in the morning (early breakfast anyone?), but if the start pushes towards mid morning I won't be able to make it.

As with Spareparts - early doors meet for me. Crawling through traffic later in the morning in a group is no fun.

If your route takes you through/near Bury St Edmunds (as mentioned earlier) I'll try and dig a relic out and come and say hello smile

I'm an early doors man too. Just keen to get a decent set of numbers out.

Either that or Dartford has a special - 100 clays for £22 hehe

edit - I am more than happy to go with just 4 of us. Any nice roads your way pete. We will only end up going to finch again otherwise.

Don't mind what time we meet or where we end up.. and I might be able to persuade another female to come on her CBR600 aswell just so Mitzy doesn't feel like the old one out.

If it rains might well be on for the clays instead!

My runs are more an all day ride TBH. Happy to do that Essex bit again - especially if you can avoid those early town bits.

Ok well if the grounds wet pencil me in for the clays.

I can work around the town but we will have to run up the m11 like we did on our return.

According to the BBC weather, next weekend looks like it's going to be a tad warm (20C).

So, an early morning ride would be nice.
