Nice. Start time is around 7 or 7:30 depending on when the others are available but I can be available from 6pm. What time do you finish work? Will you need to go home first or will you have all the gear with you?

I know that part. Nice long descent towards the dual carriageway...assuming no car is coming the opposite direction. A nice climb on the way back though. It is shorter for you though to go down the Wood St and then left into Widford Rd. It leads up to Chandlers Roundabout and we meet up on the other side, behind the church.

It looks like its Hylands this Thursday evening then.

Thursday at 7/7:30 sounds good, but I don't know the area where this is. I see on google maps that Hylands is south west of chelmsford, any chance someone could give me the name or post code of the church you're meeting behind? Is there somewhere to park as I'll be driving from Burnham.

Cheers
Jamie

Hi Jamie. See the map below. What you need is Widford Roundabout. The carpark (only room for 5-6 cars) is marked in blue. Clearly seen on satellite view. Its in front of the gated entrance to the park.

Very easy mate. Drive towards Tesco/roundabout, take the first exit, over the bridge to the next roundabout. first exit again then in100yrs you approach the church roundabout. Take 3rd exit and the carpark is 100yrds further. So, first exit, first exit, then 3rd exit. Less then a mile ride!!

It looks like the 'car park' may not be big enough, hehe. We may have to squeeze.

Hylands this week then ?

Post subject:  Re: Danbury night rides

It looks like it. Maybe not a bad idea considering the amount of rain this week.
