If anyone from the Rest of Essex wants to meet us by motorised transport (just myself + Gavin at the moment) at the Prince of Wales, I'll be aiming to be there around 20:00.
The forecast for Almost Hertfordshire is for heavy rain from 20:00 and a moderate breeze.
I have only just got the wheel back together and don’t feel that it’s a sensible night, weather-wise, to take it out without a test spin first. It certainly isn’t a night for the bike sans mudguards. I am going to give tonight a miss, much as I could do with a pint after my day at work.
An early heads up for the western contingent next week - the B184 from Leaden Roding to Dunmow is due to be shut overnight from 20:00 next Wednesday for resurfacing works. Pedestrian access only so possibly something to factor into routing/ venue choices. On the plus side, as I won’t be able to get my car off the drive, I won’t be visiting elderly parent so a beer by bike is definitely on the cards.
