The route follows the Ingrebourne Valley from Upminster to Rainham, then the riverside cycle path to Rainham Marshes RSPB Visitor centre and cafe for an early lunch stop. From there we cross the brand new Mardyke cycle bridge, and go along the riverfront to Grays, passing delights such as the Dartford Bridge, the Grays "graffiti wall" and a church used a location in "Four Weddings and a Funeral". Then onto Tilbury and the "Worlds End" (a pub) and return to Upminster. First part mainly traffic free, later part on road, some busy but mostly fairly quiet.
Meet at 8.45am on top of the Green Bridge, Mile End Park [map] or Upminster station 9.40am (if you want to meet at Upminster please try to let me know before the ride). Bring an Oystercard if you have one for the train trip, also don't forget lights if you plan to do the full ride.

Rides Information

Our rides are highlighted by "RIDE". You don't have to be a member to join in and we're also always looking for new ride ideas. Contact our Rides Co-ordinator, for further information.

There is no need to register beforehand for a ride unless this is specifically stated, most rides are "turn up and go".

If you haven't ridden with us before please read our Rides Guidance Notes.

Please note that for train assisted rides we often cannot publish times until about 2 weeks beforehand because of the need to check engineering works. Also sometimes our ride leaders do have to change dates/times/routes at reasonably short notice. Generally this website will be up to date and also details will be sent out to our e-group, but if in doubt contact the ride leader or to check arrangements.
