OTHER EVENTSTHE 10th RONDE CHELMSFORD - Our annual guided 160km ride round the lanes of Essex will take place on Sunday April 30th. This year we will be riding in memory of Rebecca Ventris who died in October from cancer, wife of CCH stalwart Bjorn and mother of Matty and Anna who both race for CCH. We will be fund raising for a cancer charity and would like to see our youth riders take part in the return leg from the Generals Arms in Little Baddow so we will need help transporting them out there. We meet at the Lea Valley Ice Rink after 8am and leave at 8.30am and the ride settles in to groups of differing speed once we pass High Beech, meeting up for lunch at the Generals Arms in Little Baddow. Route sheets are handed out on the day. More details on this to follow. |
