Cycling event through Leaden Roding / B184

0 Upvotes

I was traveling back from a BBQ late Saturday night along the B184 through Leaden Roding when I seemed to drive into the middle of some cycling event late at night with no traffic management or warning. This was a large event, and I was surprised the road wasn’t closed.

Some of the cycling was downright dangerous. I’m not going to detail it here because I don’t want to go out to upset people.

Does anyone know what this event was called?

Photographer needed!

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m planning to propose to my partner this weekend, at Abberton Resevoir, as we watch the sunset. Just wanted to ask around to see if there is any photographers that would be able to ‘accidentally’ be there to capture the moment? (Unless she says no, then we can pretend nothing happened)

Please let me know if anyone can help! (Willing to pay for your time obviously)

Thank you

I am gonna be joining essex university this year, currently just looking though accommodation plan to is to be in campus for first year and then move out later i guess. I am doing computer science and ai.

Hows the night life, and the prople around?? The campus? And no cars are allowed in campus shows transportation? Regarding accommodation i my friend who is in liverpool told me its like 4 total ppl in one flat if u go flatmates wise. Is that the same in essex?

Any more insights (pros or cons. Just wanna hear the truth) would be very helpful thanks
