I am organising a charity bike ride in aid of Bliss. This will be for around 10 people in total. I am looking for a low difficulty circular route, taking about 3 hours per lap, which will allow low ability participants to do 1/2 laps and others to do as many as they wish! I would like the course to be as scenic as possible and incorporate a nice pub for lunch! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Mark |

Hullbridge, Battlesbridge (Pub at the Antique Center) then back through Hockley towards Eastwood, Rochford Sutton Rd down to the seafront. It's about 18 liles but if you look on a map you can cut it short. It's quite a popular route for a lot of the bikers in the area. As a seperate subject, have you looked at doing the Foulness ride on the 13th Sept..it's a good day out!! |

If it's a real simple one you want with the ability for some to do 4-6 miles and others more you could look at the cycle path along the sea front. From the coastgaurds hut down to the Pier and onto Chalkwell...and back etc. Pubs........loads. |

My understanding is that this is in aid of bosom pals? Not that this is a problem but i have already been involved in some fund raising for them this year (a 5-a-side competion at work) and would like to spread our efforts to other charities (namely Bliss) Thanks, Mark |
