With all this talk of food and meals can I remind you to let me know what you’d like to eat at Epiphany lunch. I have heard from most of you and it looks like we’ll have a record turnout but there’s room for more,remember we have an entire pub to fill!  :thumbsup:

Wowbagger is your expert in these matters. A man who is reputed to effortlessly fit at least 8 meals into a day's cycling, must know what each sitting should be called.

Mind you, he's slimming world slimmer of the month, so perhaps he's cutting back on gustatory delights.

I heard you perfectly well the first time.

The only way you can reasonably fit 8 meals into a single bike ride is to make sure that they have vague names. That means that should you bump into Ted the Shred and he asks, as is his Caledonian wont, "Ye'll have had yer tea...?" you can honestly answer "NO!".

Sorry for nagging Wow, my finger is too big for my phone screen and seems to get fatter the more sherry I drink, hic.

Looking forward to seeing you on Epiphany.

2 more potentials for the festivities... will forward them the thread and get them to indicate if they want dinner...

Lunch. Remember you’re down south now.

Just today I had to ask Sister Carol what time tea time was to determine whether he meant afternoon or evening. 
For crying out loud!!!  :facepalm:

With your ravenous appetite tea time will probably occur this afternoon and this evening ;)

Just as well. I had about 3000 calories to replace after the Soggy Santa but now you can add to that the energy expended peeling 21 potatoes and peeling and crossing 84 sprouts  - and whatever else you have planned for me this evening.

Top banana!  Got your PM, thanks.

You asked about timings, let’s keep it simples, I think we’ll start to assemble at Witham ‘spoons for 8:30 / 9am. Bar opens at 9, then we’ll just let fings unfold.

Yes. I think so. I will share it next year if I remember. Did we vote for COR or no COR?

No

That’s an ambiguous answer open to interpretation  :thumbsup:

How can 'no' be ambiguous? We didn't vote ... but then if the route includes COR there will always be folks finding an alternative, so perhaps it doesn't matter either way?

Hi all

I can't make the full Epiphany Extravaganza experience as I'd already planned on a DIY 200 on Saturday for my January RRtY. However, I've plotted a route to arrive at Roxwell at the 130 km point, so I will see you all for lunch. :thumbsup:

What's on the agenda after Roxwell? I assume we will end up at Spiritual PH in Little Green with formal evening wear code? Just  wondering, as I will need to consider forward planning whether to bring camping gear for overnight stop.

Disturbing lack of votes for the award given the number who are attending - you don't have to be there all day to cast a vote! :)

Your assumptions are correct and bring a tent!

Dunno about a brew off, but after a chilli for lunch and ten pints of ale you just might win the fabled acme blow off!

Ha ha ha ;D

Yes. I think so. I will share it next year if I remember. Did we vote for COR or no COR?

Is the final route the same as you shared as a draft many moons ago?

No rush :-)

Also, can you confirm there will be a PA available? One of the quiz rounds won’t work very well without a means to project sound, but I can work around it.
