Regular ride but we'll start taking in some of the woods along the route now as it's lighter and much dryer...

Still nothing too testing ;)

Setting off from Bannatynes Gym at 19:30.

Howard Road
Chafford Hundred

As its dry and sunny (ish) now we are also starting to explore some of the woods along the route...

Hope to see you out one week :)

You are still going anticlockwise - so from Chafford Hundred to Davy Down, to Belhus, to Cely etc?

If so, I'll meet you at Cely Woods (crossing at Romford Road). Probably won't do the loop but will follow you to Ingreborne Hill.

If anyone is coming from Upminster, I'll be leaving 'Parklands Open Space' off of Corbets Tey Road at 7:25PM.

Ok pretty sure i can make it this week. Do you need to pay for the car park ? And Woods sound good to me. Hope to have front Light just incase.

Be cool to ride with others and not just by my self.

Nope, car park is the local gyms and we've never had an issue yet :)

Sunset is something like 9:15 and it's not really dark until 9:30.

There will be plenty of light should you need it on the other bikes :)

Yes mate.

We probably won't get to Berwick Glades until about 8:15/8:30.

I'll come from Upminster but I was thinking to get the train from Barking (just by where I live) to chafford.
Newbie question: can I pop my bike in that train?

Rush hour trains... They may object.

I go into London sometime but its early and the carriages are empty.

Peak time ends at 7pm and the train takes 20 min to get to chafford. So MAYBE I could dodge the mess :P
Otherwise I need to get the train at 3:30pm :P
