Option 1 (35km) Take me to the Coffee!
The same route out as everyone else. Have a coffee at the cafe stop and then head for the station at Hatfield Peveral.

Option 3 (110km) Give me More!
Do the Chelmsford loop and then ride back to London. 110km gets you to Walthamstow so you may have more or less than that depending on where you live!

🗺️ A gentle loop in the countryside in North Essex.
🚂 Train from Liverpool Street or Stratford to Chelmsford. Train leaves Liverpool Street at 09:36 and at Stratford at 09:43. No cycle reservations are required. If the group is big then we can split onto other trains as there are regular trains to Chelmsford.
⏰ The train arrives at Chelmsford at 10:08 so with some adequate time for faffing we will start riding at around 10:30.
🏎️ This is a chill pace ride. Lots of cute twisting country lanes for gentle riding and chatting.
☕️ We stop at the Owl’s Hill Tearoom in Terling for refreshments.

🍴 There’s a pub next to Chelmsford station for those wanting to eat and drink before the train back.
