We meet at a different venue for elevenses each week and ride as a group to a pub or café for lunch, after which we continue to a café for afternoon tea depending upon the weather and the riders present. There are regularly 15 to 20 riders most weeks and we divide into two groups, one slower group riding about 10mph and a quicker group riding at about 12mph covering a slightly longer route to the same venue.
New members are always made welcome and the pace of the ride is controlled so everyone can keep together. If a rider has a puncture or mechanical breakdown, we stop and there is usually plenty of help and assistance to get them going quickly.
If you feel that you would like to try a ride with the North East Essex Section, you are warmly invited to meet us on the day or call the Section Secretary for more details. Our Thursday rides are a great introduction.
On Thursday mornings we ride from Olivers Garden Centre at Witham. The group will leave from the carpark at 09.30 and return around 12.30, the route varying but will include a coffee stop.
