The first “Ronde” will take place on Saturday, 11th June, 2011, starting at 6.00 p.m. The route will be about 38km. A shorter version will be available if necessary. It will be even more hellish than the Dennis Bayford ride but much shorter and lovely and warm. I have chosen some of my favourite lanes in south Essex as they remind me of the world’s greatest single day race, the Tour of Flanders. There will be an after-event Garden Party at 17 High Road North Weald, All Helpers, Riders, Marshals and Wives will be welcome.
Start at North Weald Village Hall. Proceed to Talbot Roundabout where straight over into Weald Bridge Lane. At T junction turn left, first right to Magdalen Laver at T junction turn left past Vin’s home and the John Barleycorn. At cross roads go straight over to Hobbs Cross, keep to the right and proceed up narrow lane next to the M11. At T junction turn right and then take the first right, keep to the right at Carters Green into Faggoters Lane. Proceed to T junction where left to cross roads at High Laver, turn left to Matching Green where turn right past the &dquo;Chequers&dquo;. Right at Junction proceed keeping right into Watery Lane straight on at the lane and take first right to High Laver Church. Left at cross roads and first right proceed to the first junction where left into Weald Bridge road, straight over Roundabout to finish at original start.
