What's the plan for tomorrow evening? I'm hoping to be more successful at getting awheel this week.

My plan is the same as last week

Oh dear hugster

indeed.

FORWARD PLANNING offers us the prospect of Colchester pubs, of which there are some unvisited GBG establishments. Of course Colchester also offers some of us the prospect of train assistance.

Alternatively, if we look at some of the FORWARD PLANNING pubs we have missed recently the King Billy at Notley, the Hurdlemakers, or Witham pubs might suit the majority of folks. The forecast says dry and 8^oC.

King Billy or somewhere further West for psyclist and Tomsk. It's about time Tomsk had an easier night

Thank you, I wouldn't miss the chance if the venue was a little further west.

I've noted that forward planning has Compasses at LG next Wednesday, so happy to attend either tomorrow, next week, or both!

Shall we settle on the King Billy, Notley for tomorrow evening then? Clearly this will work well fr the Witham peloton.

Actually, I've just thought, there's also The Vine at Black Notley, I think they've just had a make over.

Count me out this week, chaps - Mrs Tomsk and I are bunking off for a short break. Back in time for the London Bike Show on Saturday - anyone else interested in going?

The landlord or the King William (Notley/Braintree) will be at the Chelmsford winter beer festival tomorrow evening.
i will be working.

Well I'm in London tomorrow, but hoping to be back in time for whatever we decide on, though a local walk in to town does appeal...

Here's the beer list for tomorrow http://www.chelmsfordbeerandciderfestivals.camra.org.uk/dl.php?id=49985

Its good as its free entry for CAMRA members, but it doesn't help me tick off the 48+ km ride I had in my training plan for tomorrow....

hmmm

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #10411 on:** 15 February, 2017, 01:02:49 pm »

So, who is interested in this evening and where are we going???

Snotty Gilbert · « **Reply #10412 on:** 15 February, 2017, 01:40:57 pm »

I'm up for a ride out this evening.

I'm within a gnat's cock of making and executive decision and we will be going to the King Billy at Notley.

Andy C33 · « **Reply #10414 on:** 15 February, 2017, 02:10:25 pm »

King Billy is my preference.

jiberjaber · « **Reply #10415 on:** 15 February, 2017, 03:48:58 pm »

Billy's for me too, could do with the ride out

Done.

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #10417 on:** 20 February, 2017, 05:44:25 pm »

For the avoidance of doubt the plan is we go to The Compasses at LG on Wednesday evening

Snotty Gilbert · « **Reply #10418 on:** 20 February, 2017, 07:01:52 pm »

Great news, I'll be there.

Jan

jiberjaber · « **Reply #10419 on:** 20 February, 2017, 07:04:15 pm »

Though I'm in London again on the afternoon

so might have to eat & drink there (again.....

)

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #10420 on:** 21 February, 2017, 09:24:52 am »

Regarding tomorrow evening, how does the Witham peloton feel about a slightly longer route to The Compasses using some lanes which perhaps don't get ridden very often?

psyclist · « **Reply #10421 on:** 21 February, 2017, 11:20:43 am »

Assuming the Witham peleton is taking the slightly longer route, what is the ETA ... 8:30pm?

More like 9:30 I'd say. That's assuming we do take a longer route.

Assuming a 7:30 departure following that route with 49km to The Compasses it's more likely to be 9:45 (or later) arrival there

Yes but its forecast to be pi55ing down with rain so we will go faster. Anyhow, we don't have to take a longer route, its just a idea.
