Tuesday 20th January Weather was pretty much perfect for January and with last weeks rides cancelled due to heavy rain there was a big turnout at Butts Green GC and 14 rode on to enjoy an excellent lunch at the Viper. Big thanks to Peter C for leading and for a well thought out route for the time of year. Peter W
Thursday 22nd January Ten of us at the Turnpike on a dull morning. Terry and Martin had dropped out. We headed to South Woodham and then onto Cold Norton where we made the climb up to Hackmans Lane, but not via Hagg Hill. The Tin Roof was busy but still plenty of seats available. With the two dropouts only 4 of us went onto lunch, although John Hand rode with us for much of the way. Our route was supposed to go through Buttsbury Ford but it was impossible to get anywhere near it because of flooding. Joe has photos. So it was back up Buttsbury Hill and along the main road to Billericay. One or two drivers came a bit close today. A nice welcome and a good lunch in the Coach & Horses in Billericay. There was a sharp shower in Wickford, the first of the day. Just over 43 miles for me. Trev
