Essex 100 Cycle Ride

Having done two 50 mile rides this summer (The Tour de Tendring, and the Essex Castle Ride), the challenge of the Essex 100 was too much to resist.

Cycle Route : Kelvedon BR to Colchester via Tiptree – leisurely 15m

A leisurely ride, keeping to the quiet country lanes, with plenty of options for refreshment breaks!

Cycle Route – Layer, Tiptree, Tolleshunt D’Arcy, Peldon, Fingringhoe

This is one of my regular cycle routes – 26 miles through some lovely quiet countryside south of Colchester.

Cycle Route : Sudbury to Marks Tey

We tried something a little different this morning - getting the bikes on the train at Marks Tey to Sudbury, and then cycling back to Marks Tey

Essex Castle Bike Ride

After some pretty foul weather for the last couple of weeks, today was dry and bright at times, if a little windy. Almost perfect weather for the Essex Castle bike ride.

Cycle Route : Cudmore Grove to The Company Shed (and back again)

After a slightly overcast day yesterday, a glorious morning saw up pop our bikes on the cycle rack and head over to Mersea Island for a leisurely ride.

The long-standing Tour de Tendring cycle ride was a big success yesterday. Over 1,000 cyclists took part, choosing either the shorter 20mile route, or the longer 50 mile route.

That changed at the weekend, after the purchase of [...]

This is a 15mile cycle route out through the barracks south of Colchester, past Friday Woods, and looping round through Fingrinhoe, and back into town via Old Heath Road.

Cycle route : Wivenhoe and Elmstead Market

Most of my cycling routes are circular ones to the south, west and north of Colchester. I tend not to look to the east, as getting out of town in that direction isn’t particularly easy, and you’ve got the busy A133 and B1027 heading out to the coast in that direction, and they aren’t particularly [...]
