Currently standing here on the a13, they've closed all 3 lanes. No idea what's up but you can't get through, stood here with another 30 odd bikes near the front of the queue.

would this be the reason?

A13 Essex - A13 in West Thurrock closed and delays in both directions between Dartford and Lakeside, because of three horses on the road. Congestion to Tilbury.

That's on BBC travel

Why close the road? Allow traffic past at slow pace and the horses will soon bugger off.

Yep horses... traffic was tailing all the way back towards Basildon apparently. Only got to work an hour late. Rolling Eyes

Wonder how many other BCF'ers were stuck at the front as well...

Luckily I live after Basildon, I did wonder why it was so quiet this morning! Laughing

Were these magical talking horses? Just send a solid wall of artics down, I'm sure the rest of the queue would happily pay for jetwashing them afterwards.

I was over an hour late for work, brilliant.
It turned into a mini ride-out* in the end, must've been 60+ bikes all at the front once we got going again.
