Taking it steady there's tea & cake elevenses at Abberton Reservoir Visitor Centre and/or early lunch in Maldon and afternoon cake in Stock. Faster riders could get to the Stock cafe control for lunch. Maldon would be an ideal lunch stop opportunity if ECE'ing to 200k with 50 already in the bank at Witham.
