I have a pass on Sunday (andy - I was actually about to drop you a mail and see if you fancied a green lane day!)

However I have a wedding to go to night before, so it will be hangover dependent. What I may do is find out where you are all going and catch you up, as there was a lot of mincing last time. So if I was to get there for 10:00 - will probably find you have only just got out of the services!

Pete - do you not fancy showing these Essex homos some decent roads down to the coast?

So far with 7 confirmed, is there a quick group and a slow group? Depending on the weather i have a BBQ on Saturday and may want to be in the slower group.

I'd like to come if I can - probably been mentioned but what's the agenda?

I've not been out on the bike for a while.

Im also slow but supposed to be leading.

Its an easy route that the fast'uns can split off should they wish and wait at a junction.

Alternativley with the marker system the guys who are fast can overtake everyone all the way back. It worked fine last time, I don't think anyone got held up and everyone enjoyed themselved.

TBH on the last part to finch there isn't any turnings so you can all hoon off at speed should you so choose.

Meet at Thurrock Services at 07:30
Head to Mcdonalds around 07:45 (Only half a mile away)
Leave around half 8 - Arrive finchingfield just before ten?

Sit around get a coffee return home.

Please don't be put off thinking you will be too slow and pushed along. I am a testament to the slowest of the slow. Pete will tell you, I was unfairly challenged but a mini last year hehe

Bearing in mind some of us will be on motorways for 3/4 of an hour to get to Thurrock there seems to be quite a lot of additional motorway riding on your route Sc0tt. Are there any back roads we could take?
