Black Bean Chilli, biscuits and cheese and Essex Energy Drinks for me please Ted.

I'm still procrastinating over whether to try to get in most of a 200k DIY by lunch  ::-)

I don’t think you’re taking the whole Epiphany thing seriously you know!

I shall bring a suitably religious Epiphany bent to the evening shenanigans...

See if you can smash the tarts and vicar thing!

I’ve smashed the vicar’s thing a few times...  :o

You can tell us all about it on Saturday evening. How about a slide show?

You're so 1960's OD, what's a slide show?

Anyway, I think I've seen it on the internet already😲

Sorry for the continued radio silence since hinting I would be coming at the last winter series ride. Unfortunately I have a clash with 'real life' stuff so wont be around, again >:(

Morning All. What time's kick off on Saturday? Planning on breakfasting at Spoons so guess the question is what time is the Grand Depart?

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

The lunch list is with the Club now so there is no backing out (26 of us at lunch and a few more joining at different times).  Those of you who haven't let me have your menu choices for lunch may end up with what ever is available but there should be plenty.

Please bring cash for lunch as there are no card facilities.

There is a route but only the three wise "men" have it - Bernster, Jiber and Jem.  Hopefully that means we can stay together on the ride (perhaps in 3 groups).

Remember the rules for those attending the after party.

I only just remembered to check up on the itinerary etc. so I didn't send any lunch preferences... Happy to eat whatever's left over.

As to routes - roughly how long is the pre-lunch route?  I'm seriously concerned about my ability to complete it given current levels of non-fitness.  Editted to add: I see from upthread it's ~32km to lunch... I should make that (slowly).  Butt's Green for elevenses, indicates that TMNH might conceivably feature, which means I'd better fettle the gears on the camping bike as the lower ones are unobtainable at the moment.

Don't worry, I'll be tail end Charlie / all upper as I'm on clown bike so you'll have company :)

In other news, I've spent 3 pints on a train ticket!

... although whilst trying to fettle the gears into working on the camping bike, it appears that its problems are more deep seated than that.

I am hoping to still be camping, but will need to find a way to get my camping stuff to/from the Compasses.
