I rode the charity ride a few years ago but can't remember the route.

I fancy a trip down to the coast and back next weekend, but through the villages, not on the
dreaded A13 or A127.

It'll be difficult to avoid either altogether (whereabouts in the smoke will you be coming from (?),
but I would imagine C2C are pretty good with bikes these days) IMO, but how about...

Upminster -> North Ockendon -> Bulphan -> Westley Heights -> Basildon -> Wickford -> Rayleigh ->
Eastwood -> Leigh etc. sound

(or possibly Basildon -> Pitsea -> South Benfleet / Thundersley -> Hadleigh -> drop down to Leigh
station and then along the front...

(Mind the XR3i's though 😉 )

Funny you say that...

I was coming home around 1am this morning on the A127 from Billericay. I was travelling around 70mph
in the NS lane when I was overtaken by a R5 Turbo. It was about 1" off the ground and there was a
dustbin coming out from the back bumper, trying to look like an exhaust pipe. As it thundered past
at around the ton, all I could see was the two bright TV screens in the back of the front headrests
as it disappeared into the distance.

Bloody fool I said to my girlfriend....keeping the jealousy to myself! Bit different to my days of
jacking the back up, cutting a coil from the front springs and gluing some fur around the dash.
Bloody kids, don't know how lucky they are!

I notice the first post has turned up now, one day I'll get to grips with my servers quirks!
