It's Spitfire which is OK or Whitstable, the company makes up for it.

Normally, Shepherd Neame ales plus one guest but was limited (as are many places) when we went a couple of weeks ago.

Very comfortable outside though and the company was bearable.

Are we on for the Sun tomorrow then ?

Are we still doing 8pm starts or is it time to go back to 9pm ?

Notably missing from last week's 'minutes' was the outline plan for the KAW extravaganza. Can you make sure Dirk discusses that a bit more so it can feature in the write-up, and become 'a thing'.

I think the best course of action is to come along yourself psyclist and motivate Dirk into action. Otherwise he'll only forget again.

I'm banking some sleep ahead of Friday's night ride.

Yes, the discussions around KAW were in the nature of speculating about potential future events.  I prefer to stick rigidly to the facts when preparing my weekly reports.

Physiologically speaking it's not possible to be "banking some sleep", so elliothj will be at no disadvantage on Friday and psyclist will have no advantage. Therefore you should both cycle to the pub tonight.

@Carlos - it's possible to be sleep deprived though!

@elliothj - you'll be fine. If you get too tired, Lightning Phil is behind us on his mobile bed.

I'm also hoping to be along to the Sun tonight. Assuming nasty Californians don't intervene. Need to shakedown the set up on the bike for Hereward. Still on a borrowed bike, so a little nervous about that.
Not to mention being nervous about being in the aforementioned Group B.....
 No chance if being to bank sleep unfortunately, isn't that what Newport Pagnall is for?

Actually I think I may have to pass this week, I'm pretty tired. I may have to bank some sleep and also have I mentioned that my back aches, my head is throbbing and my knees hurt?

Sorry, have a good evening.
