BCR Sunday the 5th September

The B184 Dunmow Road…almost down to the Junction where it turns left to Hatfield Heath, the tarmac has been taken off so lot of grit and gravel around, very slippery, very bumpy…not a lot of signage giving warning either! I was a bit caught out by it.

Quite a large stretch and effectively a 30-40mph limit., course you moto boys if you are out there might actually enjoy it!

Apart from the big yellow signs saying ramp ahead:w00t: and the lack of road surface.You should slow down young man!!!

I filmed my trip, finally got the camera set up right.

The ramp ahead sign is about 15 feet in front of the ramp itself. :w00t:

The thinking distance for stopping at that speed is over 50 feet! By the time my brain engaged the sign I was beyond the ramp. :smiley:

Although I do thank you Broady, don’t get called young man very often these days. :cool:

Here is the video excerpt minus the sound due to the profanity issuing forth from me…

I was fortunate really because I noticed all the road equipment on the right hand side of the road that is not normally there and I was worried that it might be moving, so had laid off of the throttle a bit til I got past it, and then saw the signs and stuff.

Badly signed though, really need a sign at the top of the road where I am coming around the first bend.

Anyone out in the morning:D

Yes possibly :smiley: is it 8 or 8.30 start.

Either is good for me,do you have a preference??

8 would be good :slight_smile: then back to watch GP. :slight_smile:

Sounds like a plan Mark see you at 8am:D

About time they did this road. I was fuggin sh1tting myself on my krap bike last week!:blink: My you, none of the overtakes I had setup were unavailable when the road lay out opportunities came up. :hehe::frowning: But I’ll have some gravel for a change to keep me honest out there, it wont be too scary for long!:wink:

Its only the last mile before the 1060,the road from the Four Wantz is open again and resurfaced:D

After my initial “omfg” moment of worry, I did think to myself…oh good, this section could use a resurfacing, hopefully it will be like the part before Ongar, which is a superb piece of road, just too damn short.

Might try and make this one :slight_smile:

im gonna try even if it does mean 3 hours worth of sleep before hand

Now thats The BCR Spirit!:cool:

Good ride today,just the four of us until Sneaky left.:smiley:

Yeah, too much for me. I had to go for a lie down!:smiley:
