Tuesday 4th November A mild morning. Ten of us at the Turnpike, plus we picked up Mel and John on the way to tea at The Rose and Crown in Writtle.
Sadly we found a big fly tip down Warren Raod which forced us to carry our bikes around the mess . It looks like a tipper truck dropped his load without stopping.
As we went down Swan Lane a squirrel ran across in front of me but immediately did 180 degree turn and ran back in front again. I ran over it with my front wheel. I think it survived because it ran back into a bush. I hope so.
We felt the strength of the wind as we turned south. I was expecting Hammond Road to be tough but it turned out not too bad.
There was a wake in the pub but they seemed to be having a jolly time. It might explain the slightly slow service although the food was good.
A van cut me up going down the hill on the South Hanningfield Road so I’ll be reporting him.
Just over 45 miles for me. Trev
