ACF ride in Essex - by Nick
Posted on Monday 1 January 2007 by Nick Bloom
My fantastic map reading ability saved us again. What would have been an easy but rather dull ride out was suitably adjusted en route. First, at Stratford, rather than go as intended along the Romford Rd, I followed the road which was signed to Romford. Which meant ending up on the very cycle-unfriendly A12, rather than the A118. But rather than taking the sensible option of getting back on track, we just pushed on regardless. I , of course, knew that we would soon meet up with Ken and follow his route. Planned it all along. I was also merely testing my phone when it flew out my back pocket on a downhill. leaving me to scrabble amongst the verge for the bits - surprisingly, it survived.
