Our next Sunday ride, scheduled for 18th January, will be led by Keith Tremeer, with Phil Duffy bringing up the rear.

Due to the severe adverse weather conditions we have been subjected to over the past week or so, Keith has not yet had the chance to check out his proposed route or the breakfast stop. However, he details his plans below, in the expectation (hope) that nothing will need to be changed, at least not drastically, after he checks everything out by mid-week.

“Our ride will depart from the Fourwentways service station promptly at 09:30, from where we’ll head initially towards Linton. Turning right at Bartlow we’ll head to Moor End and Finchingfield before skirting around to the west of Braintree, then turning north towards Halstead and on to our breakfast stop, the Black Horse Cafe, located near Earls Colne. The breakfast menu can be found here.

Suitably refreshed, we’ll head home, initially retracing our route back to Halstead, then turning north towards Sudbury, then on to Haverhill (passing through Cavendish, Stoke by Clare and Sturmer) and Linton, finishing the ride where we started, at the Fourwentways service station.

This ride is open to full Members and Associates, and will be limited to a total of 10 participants. Total ride distance will be around 90 miles, with a total of slightly less than 3 hours on-the-road.

Please arrive at the Fourwentways service station no later than 09:20 for the pre-ride briefing, ensuring that your bike is suitably fuelled.”
