The London Phoenix Easter Classic
Event info
The London Phoenix Cycling Club invites you to the 11th Easter Classic - Easter Monday, 2nd April 2018.
There are two routes on offer – 113km and 54km. Both routes will be fully signposted and will take you through quiet, flat and green country lanes of Essex. Lycra or no lycra, Dogma F10, tandem or unicycle, all welcome. Yes, the sportive is timed. The event is usually a sell-out because of the great route, the relaxed ambience and the homemade baked goods, so register early to avoid disappointment.
The longer route will pass through the villages of Good Easter and High Easter, and features a mid-way feed station at Pleshey village hall where you'll be able to enjoy free hot/cold drinks and our legendary oat bars and other wholesome goodies. Indoor space in the hall and a big field behind are your options for relaxing, whatever the weather. Toilets also available.

The thing is, motorists' killing grounds are not limited to schools, hospitals and nurseries and their environs.
Highway Code rule 237 If you are dazzled by bright sunlight, slow down and if necessary, stop.
'Suitable advice' can already be found in the Highway Code.
Im betting these come out of the same factory as the SG and the Grip grab gloves. Identical apart from the Silicon overlay....
Oh, and for long rides (100 miles ish) a whole pack of fig rolls and a couple of jam sandwiches normally does my fuelling.
That "old lane" as you call it, is 1) very much open, some misguided cyclists still use it. I used it once, vowed never to again and I block ride...
Indeed....
"Aldi apologised for the blocked bike racks and said "we have spoken with the store to make sure that the cycle bays are clear for use at all times...
