springy lunch time ride with just about enough mud to make it fun. [MS, RT, JS]

11th March - Gt. Horkesley Nayland

12.6 miles - 398ft ascent. Family bike ride. Lovely springy day - ideal for a ride down to Nayland for a pint at the Anchor! [HS, JS RAS, SPS]

4th March - Rodbridge to Sudbury on the old railway line

5.5 miles - 171ft ascent. Family bike ride. Simon did really well and has set a new record for mileage on his own bike.
He was definitely spurred on by the stop-off at a coffee shop and a large muffin half way round! [HS, JS RAS, SPS]

Febuary Station Mileage: 12miles

18th February - Salem & Runaway Bay, Jamaica

3.7 miles - Mostly flat. Ride around the local village on rather pot-holey roads on a decidedly manky bike!
Hot and humid but interesting to see the local area, saw a mongoose! [HS, JS]

15th February - Blue Mountain Bike Ride, Jamaica

(note: underlying aerial imagery from Google Earth is pretty lo-res!)

3.6 miles - Supposedly 95% downhill! Interesting coast down from the Blue mountains topped off with a plunge into a brilliant waterfall/pool on the hillside.
Company could have been better (Helen excluded of course) plenty of Americans and raucous 'Brits abroad' [HS, JS]

18th February - Steve & Neal's Copford & Colchester Ride

4th February - Lamarsh, Twinstead, Pebmarsh, Fordham

25.1 miles - 979ft ascent. Nice to start in daylight, but dusk falling fast.
Navigation made a little more challenging after I lost my map 2/3 of the way round! [JS]
