At 9.30am we leave Drury Lane, Braintree - just by Sainsbury - to explore further the wonderful countryside around Braintree with a social and supportive led ride. We're out for about 5 hours and there is always a stop half way for a coffee and cake. This is a longer and slightly faster ride (10-12 mph) and again we always have a backmarker  and regularly regroup to make sure everyone is ok.
