Keith Tremeer & Steve Rowdon lead & tail this ride, departing from carpark at Tesco Extra in Royston Keith’s outline of the ride follows:
The ride heads to GolfWorld in Elsenham (near Bishop’s Stortford). The route initially takes us through Barley, then heads south through Dassels to Ware, then 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
We’ll be using predominantly country roads – a couple of which are single track with passing places), and there is a high likelihood that they will be somewhat muddy. This information is provided as a warning to those who are thinking of washing their bike prior to the ride that they’ll likely have to do it all over again afterwards!
