Let it be known I am turning down my first sex in over a year to come. Be there!!

No need to turn anyone down, just turn up at 9.31 instead of 9.30.

But the rideout wil be over at 9:31 on Monday morning! Although I guess there are silver bikes on the rideout...

Hey Christo, make the most of the opportunity while you've got it - it might be the only riding you'll be doing for some time

Yup, you keep telling yourself that, you turned it down

"I can't meet next weekend, I'm taking part in an annual reunion" IS me saying no.

Unlike what people said to the American artist:

Going to turn up to this one, got to really as its literally right past my door. is it planned to go Burnham or Sarf End (or both).

I can do a route from the Blackwall tunnel that apart from 9 miles on the A13 to Ferry Lane Rainham, is literally all lanes or minor roads all the way to Burnham or S-o-S. .

And Exup I'll do the route not like last July, but then given the choice of an all expenses paid 2 week (working) trip to Pattaya or a wet Sunday morning with a load of LoFos what would you have choosen.

Sarf end red ceri and of course u can lead the ride.

Red Ceri · « **Reply #58 on:** 29 January 2014, 12:10:12 pm »

Got a route in my mind of about 70/80 miles that includes a loop to the Burnham bends.

I'll try and ride it Saturday to make sure there are no nasty surprises. Essex CC not to hot on repairing potholes

Ceri - I'm local and can advise if you've got any doubts. PM me

Red Ceri · « **Reply #63 on:** 29 January 2014, 03:42:26 pm »

I'm local as well, live in Wickford but originally from Grays so the lanes are pretty well known to me, in the long and distant past I've crashed in most of them

Agree, did the Burnham Bends last year on way to Fish & Chip shop, went through Dartford Tunnel then mostly bends and rural roads once off M25. Blackwall Tunnel makes sense if meeting at Blackheath, happy to go with the flow

midden · « **Reply #67 on:** 30 January 2014, 06:04:39 am »

Blackheath pointless for those starting at ace if going back through blackwall. Could fill woolwich ferry though

Red Ceri · « **Reply #68 on:** 02 February 2014, 07:21:27 pm »

Did a recce ride of the route I had planned, couple of closed roads but otherwise suprisingly clean roads and not too many potholes. Will tweak to suit. Did about 80miles from Ferry Lane Rainham to SoS, via Burnham. Took about 2 hours but I was not rushing too much, is that enough miles for everyone remembering personal milage getting to either the Ace or Blackheath and return journey?

Grandma · « **Reply #69 on:** 03 February 2014, 06:29:06 am »

How about Ace Group and Blackheath Group travel [/size]separately[/color][/size] to Thurrock services and meet there in comfort with fuel hot drinks and "other" facilities before heading off for Burnham Bends, would just need a time to work to????[/color]

Could work... Anyone else for meeting there at 11? I'd certainly favor it (emissions zone, grr!)

Sounds good to me. Long range weather forecast is a bit touch and go. about 10C, London might get rain, Southend is forecast dry though.

I'm in Dagenham, don't mind meeting at Blackheath or Thurrock. Guess a lot depends on route back over the river from Blackheath:- Blackwall tunnel, Woolwich ferry or Dartford tunnel. Never done ferry before - could be a laugh!

TBH the ride from A13 through Blackwall tunnel to Tea hut is only 4.5 miles / 9 minutes according to Google. Not too big a detour for you Ace lot.

Red Ceri · « **Reply #72 on:** 03 February 2014, 11:18:22 am »

What about this route from Thurrock Services. 80miles in total to SoS. Just need to be careful of people with 6 fingers and webbed feet near Bradwell

Details

LoFo Route

ChristoT · « **Reply #73 on:** 03 February 2014, 06:45:46 pm »

How's this for a schedule then?

Group 1 leaves the Ace Cafe at 9:00am
Group 2 leaves Blackheat at 9:30am
(Both arriving nearish 10am)

Set off at 10:30ish / 11 on Red Ceri's route.

Where's the rendez-vous and ETA in Southend? As I'll be in the cage, I'll go straight there.

Route looks good to me. I know all those roads. There's a better link road between Battlesbridge and Hullbridge down Watery Lane - providing it's not too watery .....
