Training Ride (rarely has a cafe stop) – usually starts Old Police Station, Maldon @ 9:30 am. Avg speed 18mph+ with “burn-ups”. Ride will wait for any dropped rider at the next major junction if safe to do so.
Chain Gang
Every Thursday from mid-April through to August (as evening daylight permits.)
Meeting/Finishing point. Beckingham Business Park, Tolleshunt Major
Last group off 7pm sharp
If attendance allows we will organise into 2 or 3 groups and set off at intervals as a “hare and hounds” ride with the faster groups setting off after the slower groups, each attempting to catch the group ahead.
NOTE: This is an advanced training ride. You will need to be confident and be able to ride safely in a group moving at speed.

All abilities and bike types welcome – you don’t need a time-trial bike to ride a time trial. Why not come and give it a go and then chat about it over a meal in the pub afterwards?
