This ride is about 46 miles long and takes in a variety of road types. These are mainly country roads but there are a couple of right trusn where you may feel safer walking across. The route is fairly flat although Coventry Hill in Hullbridge can be a challenge if you are feeling tired on the way back. Part of the route is along country lanes,but thee can be far from quite on busy Sunday afternoons. When you get to Battlesbridge, you can reward yourself with tea and cake from a delightful little café. by tony666
