Description
A 200km ride that allows you to experience the serene beauty of the Stour Valley countryside and delve into its rich historical tapestry through one of the AUDAX rides commencing from Dedham Primary School, a mere 8km from Manningtree Railway Station. The ride will take you to the source of the Stour on Wratting Common, a key air field during WWII and take you down the river valley to where the river combines with the Orwell to exit into the Sea at Harwich.
Upon completion, you are extended a warm welcome from Cycle Club Sudbury, providing tea, coffee, some tasty food and a selection of snacks while you share in your riding experiences and rejuvenate before your journey homeward.
