BCQ201, 203 & 206 - from Woodbridge
Our final 3 BCQs to complete the six in Suffolk. Great day out, no strenuous hill climbs and lovely quiet roads and tracks over the 56.5 miles. This meant we had good range on our ebike batteries; in fact for the first half we were getting a mile for each…

BCQ181 & 186 - West Mersea
Starting in the Seaview Carpark in West Mersea this was a decent ride to Maldon and then up through Colchester to Wivenhoe to pick off BCQ 181 at Maldon and 186 at Wivenhoe. Road to Maldon was narrow and busy - would look to reroute if doing again.
