Ride leader Keith Tremeer had this route planned on 2nd February, but facing the risk of ice on the country lanes the decision was made to cancel the ride and those who arrived at the start point via main roads did manage to have a breakfast prior to heading back home though. Happily here’s a second chance to join Keith o, this time with Roger Taylor in the tail position, on this outing from Tesco Royston to Golf World Stansted
“ The ride departs from the carpark at Tesco Royston at 9:30, headed for Golf World Stansted in Elsenham, near Bishop’s Stortford. The route initially takes us through Barley, then heads south through Dassels to Ware, where we turn eastwards through Much Hadham & Hatfield Heath before turning north to Takeley. We pass to the north of Stansted Airport before reaching our breakfast stop
Unfortunately there won’t be time for anyone to try out the driving range or 9-hole golf course before we head back through Thaxted, Dunmow & Blake End, turning north towards our final destination at Fourwentways services, passing through Great Bardfield, Moor End & Bartlow on the way
This ride takes us along predominantly country roads (a couple of which are single track with passing places), and there is a possibility that there will be some mud on the surface; depending on weather conditions in the preceding days.
The total distance covered is 90 miles. The breakfast section of the menu can be viewed here ”
