Gateway Wednesday Off Road Ride: 3rd August by Bob Drake
Fourteen riders today on the mostly off road ride to Hornchurch Country Park. Really good route, new to some but seemed to be enjoyed by everyone, if you’re not used to it this off-roading can seem quite hard work but enjoyable none the less.
