Last night was excellent! If you weren't there you missed out! Is 52 miles a record for the Witham peloton? I'm sure Tomsk regularly goes over 50 miles but I can't remember doing it.
Anyhow ... me, huggy, Andy C333333, Oaky and bobb set off from the Spa Road roundabout. Oaky didn't moan much as we enjoyed the COR just after Great Notley Country Park and we met up with Tomsk bang on schedule. We deviated slightly from last years route to avoid a flinty lane - by this point we were simply following Tomsk's wheel. The Great Man decided we should push on past the site of last years disaster to the Half Moon at Belchamp St Paul were a couple of pints or coffee was enjoying, we'd earned it!
Then back out to a chilly evening (3degs) for the blast home. huggy was suffering from 2 weeks of eating burgers with assorted Disney characters so Andy and I hung back for him and we lost the other three.
Thanks to everyone for a terrific evening which mercifully was less dramatic than our ride a year ago.
