Tour 2


Another successful tour completed and a record number of riders as we were joined by two new riders, Bob and Colin.
In dry and bright conditions we made our first stop bang on opening time at the Cross Inn, Great Bromley, where we received an unexpected treat.

Matt who normally brings along some rather delicious cakes - for himself - rather unselfishly (well, with a bit of ungentlemanly persuasion) brought supplies for everyone. A promising start polished off with an excellent Old Forge Bitter from Sticklegs.

It was then onto the Haywain at Little Bromley for a well earned bite to eat where we were joined by Keith (on four wheels!) who gave us a splendid reading from the Book of Excuses as to why he was unable to cycle.

After a filling meal - it was so filling, custard monster Robin, turned down the offer of pudding! - we made our way back to Colchester via the White Hart Weeley, Royal Fusilier Aingers Green and Greyhound at Wivenhoe. Photos

Tour 1


Tour 1 saw us head to Chelmsford Beer Festival. The unseasonably good weather and temperatures not starting with a zero made for a pleasant journey. The lung busting Market Hill in Maldon delayed us slightly as did the stop in the Blue Boar for a well earned pint afterwards.
Otherwise the journey was relatively uneventful barring Jamie's 'look no brakes' approach to cycling which was quickly remedied by our on site engineer Matt.
