Our annual road race is on Sunday week (26th June) and we have four LVCC riders taking part in the race who are keen to recce the course. The course is loop of about 14 miles up in northern Essex (starting / finishing at the village of Radwinter). The fast / medium-fast groups are planning to do a ride up there (starting, as usual, from the Town Hall at 9am, and passing through High Beach on the way) and then round the circuit. Some of us will then head over to the Audley End station (just outside Saffron Walden) to catch a train back to Tottenham Hale / Liverpool Street (two trains per hour, £15, takes 40-50 mins), while others are going for a really long ride and continuing all the way back to London again. The train-assisted route is about 64 miles, the 'Gran Fondo' is more like 120 miles. Some people might not be able to commit to such a long ride, but you are welcome to come with us for the first 20 miles or so and then turn back for home. Here is the planned route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/14368103
