Last Sunday was a washout with freezing rain - don't think anybody made it out in the end as it was so grim. The forecast is dry and sunny tomorrow, but with temperatures starting below zero and not getting much higher. A lot of us have cabin fever and are desperate to get out, but after some discussion it's been decided to avoid the country lanes as ice has been reported out there. So it's a rather unimaginative route straight up the old A11 through the forest, Epping and Harlow to a café stop in Sawbridgeworth (with a possible fast group going a bit further) then returning down exactly the same roads. It's approx. 20 miles from the town hall to Sawbridgeworth, so about 40 for the return trip. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/18620842
