The evening ride on Wednesday went well.
We had a nice chap called Grant turn up with his 6 week old Claud Butler hybrid. Previously Grant had only cycled 2 or 3 miles to work. I met him and his girlfriend just before the 20th June ride, gave him a leaflet and he joined our Facebook group. Now he's done 25 miles and is pretty pleased with himself.
We met up with the Mid-Essex Mid Week Nocturnal Series gang at The Walnut Tree but fortunately left
before the fun started! 
With three rides now behind us we turn our attention to the fourth ride in the series …
The date is Sunday 18th July and the meeting point at 11:00am is the duck pond on the River Walk in Witham. I have two routes in mind and will choose the best one based on who turns up on the day and the weather.
The longer option (about 15 miles, just under 2 hours of riding) takes us down Paulk Hall Lane, one of our favourites. This quiet lane hides a secret not to mention some mischievous puncture fairies so bring some spare inner tubes. We will be stopping at the Square & Compasses, Fuller Street for a break.
The shorter option (about 10 miles, around an hour of riding) takes us to The Green Man at Little Braxted from which point its downhill all the way back to Witham!
