Meeting at Belfairs Woodland Centre, we'll ride on the roads through Leigh to get down to the seafront at the bottom of Chalkwell Avenue. From here we'll ride along the cycle path to Southend, stopping at Rossi's for an ice-cream, before heading up round the back of the town centre and down Victoria Avenue to join the Prittlebrook cycle path. The ride will finish back at Belfairs Woodland Centre.

Don't forget to bring cash / card / other means of payment if you're buying an ice cream. A bike lock is always useful too.
Later in the route details it says that we are not stopping -please ignore this as WE ARE STOPPING FOR AN ICE CREAM! If you also want to stop for a drink at the end, you are most welcome to but today's stop is enroute.

A circular ride starting and finishing at Belfairs Woodland Centre. There is some parking at Belfairs (no charge) for those who are driving to the start. There are also toilets situated in the Visitors' Centre.

Most of this route is on designated cycle paths which are separate from the road but there is some road work to get down to the seafront.

We are not planning to stop along the way, but will finish at the Visitors' Centre at Belfairs Woods.

Bring a lock and some money if you are intending to stay on for a drink at the end of the ride.

First-timers welcome!
