SUMMARY:Bricks and Moretaine 200
DESCRIPTION:211km permanent cycling event starting from Braintree. Controls at Codicote, Marston Moretaine, Biggleswade and Braintree.\nThis 202km Brevet de Randonneur permanent heads west from Braintree in Essex through Herts to Bedfordshire to take advantage of heading out into the prevailing westerly winds, returning when perhaps a little tired, with a tailwind. A Mid-Essex route allows local riders to start between controls, or even from home, with additional start/finish controls; convenience balanced by a few ‘bonus’ kilometres. The route can, of course, under AUK permanent rules, be started from its western end or ridden in reverse.\nThe recommended route deviates from the minimum distance AUK requirements, in order to avoid some potentially unpleasant roads and adds approximately another 13km to the route.\nRe-fuelling and controlling opportunities, as well as potential hazards are marked on the route sheet. A ‘selfie’ by a recognisable landmark will be accepted as ‘proof of passage’, should all suitable options be unavailable.\nThe permitted form of proof of passage is: Paper\nBook Now\nAlong the route\nKey: Cafe Convenience Store Restaurant Service Station Supermarket\nBraintree is a historic town located in Essex, situated approximately 10 miles northeast of Chelmsford.
