Southend shakedown?

Wolvey, what actually happens there, are there are any quality roads to ride on the way and is it not just a procession up the A13 or the A217 :dunno: I've never been, so that's why I ask?

The A303 is about as twisty as ..... a strand of uncooked pasta

:lol: now that is funny :}

Looks like Monday is odds on favorite at the mo.

As the A13 And A127...........

Are the only two roads into Southend it becomes a bit of a 'procession' getting in there !!!!

But Essex does have some 'quality roads'.........so why not go to the Shakedown and then head out to Epping...... have a cuppa at the High Beech bike meet....take a ride on the B183/B184......then the B1057 to Finchingfield ........Not a bad ride !!!!!:}

Wanna try it ????:}

Never been on an XR3 bonnet yet........and the car's tend to avoid the 'Beech' at weekend's and Bank Holidays.....too many bikes there so nowhere to park their cars !!!!!:}

Supabird, ya absolutely right, Essex does have some crackers

thanks for the recommendations, have you ever ridden the B184 that goes through Great Dummow and Saffron Walden, then on to the B1052 towards the A14 - cracking.
Also, from Halstead take the B1124, then the A1017 & B1061 heading towards the A14.
Lastly, starting at Halstead, take the A131, onto the B1115, then the A1120 towards Yoxford.

All :bow: nice roads, although Reefer would complain about.

Weather,

Saw the weather forecast for the weekend earlier. Tis getting colder Friday/Sat, then rain due Sunday and Monday.

Not trying to dissuade people (much!) from Monday BUT - Friday is the best day unless you wanna practice your wet weather skills :f

Friday it is then :beer:

Sorry Ben but I've voted for the Friday mate...............

I want to have a good blast and then leave everyone else to deal with the extortionate numbers of 'weekend pikeys' that'll be on the roads on Sunday / Monday................plus if I ride Friday that leaves me 3 clear days to get absolutely properly bollocked:-: :-:

'Weekend Pikey' = people pulling caravans around all the best roads

Hey Reefer,

If you're trundling along the A303 tomorrow, pop in for a rest stop and a little ride out if you like - give yourself a break from that twisty road :}
