Southgate Cycling Club

Club Runs Archive - Sunday 17 August 2008 - Chipping Ongar - Great Bardfield - Chipping Ongar

Car assisted ride from Chipping Ongar

This ride is dedicated to the memory of Terry Whiteley, who planned and led us on this ride in 2005.

The idea behind this car assisted ride, is to explore deeper into the Essex countryside than a normal club run would allow.

We met at Chipping Ongar at 10:00 and cycled out to Great Bardfield and back again to Chipping Ongar, visiting picturesque villages, like Thaxted, along the way.
