To re iterate....

So to go to the traditional method of figuring out who is likely to be riding and anyone with special requirements or requests.

Who's heading out this week?, I will be and not worried about where we end up or what time I get home.

Jem says she'll be out this week if the weather isn't too bad!

Sorry, I thought this was the bike repair topic..... :-D

So it's Nick an me so far.

Any more for the mix?
Mudguards are on as of 25 minutes past midnight! Hateful things.

Well, halfway between BFC and I lies Writtle(ish), also about the same distance from Dunmow for Tom, but not sure how well this suits you Grey Sheep as I don't know where you live.

Count me out of any pub venue considerations - I'll be heading for home by about 19:00 and will be trying to get ahead of the snow/sleet! Hope this is Winter's last hurrah.

Saw Jem twice on Friday as our lunchtime rides seemed to coincide in time/route.   Didn't have time to stop as I was WFH.

I'm submitting more supporting evidence for my application to the Hard As Nails CC and in view of the forecast will be staying home hiding from the weather, maybe I'll make it out on the bike again one day...

In better news, I am currently in the Bryony Nano Brewery cooking some Milk Stout which may have some coffee added during fermentation  :)

Does that make it a Stout Latte?

I think the proprietor of the Bryony Nano Brewery needs to invite us all round.  Not only can we beer taste we can also christen the new conservatory  :thumbsup:

I think I'll stay in tonight and build up the Essex and Suffolk Borders (200k) that I have just realised is this rapidly approaching Saturday.

I was going to ECE it into a 300 but the body is not playing ball.   I may have to ride gears for the first time since last Autumn.

I'll wave as I pass in the opposite direction, starting in Buntingford.

Wednesday 13 April is Easter hols. An more eastern venue (eg Coggeshall, Marks Tey, Alma in Copford) that evening could well tempt me out
What on earth am I doing here on this beautiful day?! This is the only life I've got!!

I don't believe we've been to the Chapel Inn at Coggeshall recently.

So who might be wanting a spin tomorrow evening?  How about a Witham evening?  We could ride around for a bit then descend on The White Hart or The Wooiie?

I hope to be out this Wednesday

QH sounds good, we could find out why it won pub of the year?

Just makes you think, the Pubs that didn't make pub of the year must be really bad, eh?

The mists clear...

Just got through to the QH on the phone.  At the moment they close 8ish Monday to Wednesday.  After Easter they will be staying open to 11ish. 

So Plan B?  What do we think?
