CYCLING AROUND ESSEX
My first cycle guide! Inbetween walks I keep my fitness by cycling. Not far just at a steady medium pace. I have walked all over Essex and these ten rides bring me to my favoirite places in this remarkable county. the rides - 20 to 40 miles long - explore the county fully - coast, islands, ww2 airfields, history, monastic ruins, legends, and witchcraft!
just set off and enjoy each ride at your own pace.
