I'll do something round the Rodings/Willingale/Radley Green etc and see you all at the Chequers.

I've been crunching the numbers on my recently returned brevet card from that French Ride, but it's still all a bit of a blur. Nobody here is interested

but at least I got the front room to myself to watch the dvd

funny how that happens...

I'm getting mildly stressed that my 'parcel' has not arrived yet. The rest of the Tippers family seems to think that this is an unreasonable mind-set!

I'm equally concerned, not about your mind set but about my own parcel $:-\$

I take it these are PBP related parcels?

tedshred · « **Reply #8729 on:** 02 February, 2016, 09:06:00 am »

No parcel at Ted Towers either.

Is it an Essex thing ?

Yikes! I'm in the wrong thread.

Getting back on topic, I hope to ride with Jiberjaber on his route tomorrow evening. Bobb, are you going to head up earlier to catch the peloton at Spa or come with us ?

Jiber, assuming a 7.30 start, where do you want to start from ?

Getting slightly back off topic, my rear hub was in a right mess after Saturday's swim. It has now been re-greased and re-tightened. My Walomatic Mudguard Inc. flap will go on tonight if I can get some man cave time in amongst Grandpa duties.

I need some input on Wednesday evening or on the Miscellany thread from the MEMWNS technical team on some upgrades for my fixed machine and headset bearings for my Trek (I recall Tippers had some problems finding the correct sizes).

I guess it would make sense to ride with you two. Can meet anywhere you like...

I will be following a luminous northern chap who is not a Garmin as far as I know.

I get it now one rule for one and one for another, I will just keep following The Hustler in that case who to my knowledge is not a Garmin either!

Looking at the last time I rode the same route it was about 2 hours to the pub, 13.6mph ave but I'd like to try and keep my HR down a bit more this time

18:50 Lidl carpark ?

I was trying to keep to a shop based theme!

bobb · « **Reply #8742 on:** 02 February, 2016, 04:10:18 pm »

Just as long as we don't hang around - I wouldn't want people thinking I shop at Lidl

1850 is too tight for me as I won't be leaving Southend until at least 1800. I will try to catch you up or meet at the pub.

Postman Patrice has been here too. Very exciting

tippers_kiwi · « **Reply #8745 on:** 02 February, 2016, 09:03:09 pm »

Now I really am getting stressed, damn it.

What time could you make it to Lidl by?

tippers_kiwi · « **Reply #8747 on:** 02 February, 2016, 10:41:20 pm »

I won't be out tomorrow folks, partly work, partly because I as stressed that I don't have a medal yet

Have a good nigh y'all

Penelope and I favour Aldi although today I think we'll go to Morrison's as I have a £5 off voucher ...
