NEW YEARS DAY RIDE 2024… MONDAY 1st JANUARY 2024. MEET – 10 am – 10.15 am START – BLACKSHOTS LEISURE CENTRE GRAYS RM16 2JU…

Dear All…

In 2007 Gateway Cycling Club was created and every new year since we’ve taken a jolly ride to Purfleet, the RSPB centre café The same to see in this new 2024… Meeting at Blackshots Leisure Centre RM16 2JU, at 10 am for a start at 10.15. This is a slow and steady family type of ride, all ‘off road’ on dedicated cycle tracks and paths… Onwards to Purfleet, we try and take in the Mardyke Valley Country Park, (Davy Down) although if it’s very flooded, (I’ll check it before…) we’ll opt for the ‘top road’, the cycleway above Lakeside… We’ll go via the back path to Watts Wood and cross over to the Tank Hill Road cycleway and from here, onward alongside the historic Thames… Rest at the RSPB café if you wish… However, we’ll be rolling along the Marsh Road, and a left turn up to the WW 2 – Concrete Barges. It’s an inspiring, easy Themes – side run back to the café, for coffee and cakes… A Fun Ride! We hope you can join us. Cheers! (-:

Jon Lane.
