If Coggeshall or points East on 15th March, are there any takers for a Western venue this week?

tedshred · « **Reply #18976 on:** 06 March, 2023, 10:48:37 pm »

Looking at the forecast, it will be local or not at all.

My vote is going to be not at all, don't fancy the sleety rain and -2 feel. Likely to have enough of that type of thing on Saturday $:-\$

tedshred · « **Reply #18978 on:** 07 March, 2023, 09:58:31 am »

Forecast now saying snowy snow and -3. I think it's a no from me.

Even Tomsk will probably not want much more than an 80k round trip.

Snowy snow

Perfect night for the Belgian Brewer, were it not for the fact they don't open on a Wednesday ...

I’d be up for a western venue tomorrow.

It looks like we’re on the very edge of where the Met Office are predicting snowy snow tomorrow so it could go either way I guess

Tomsk · « **Reply #18981 on:** 07 March, 2023, 05:21:03 pm »

Prince of Wales, Brick End, Broxted - the usual foul weather Western venue? Or reschedule for Thursday at the Belgian Brewer in Bishops Stortford, when it'll just be raining and 5ºC?

psyclist · « **Reply #18982 on:** 07 March, 2023, 05:44:50 pm »

I'm probably a no show tomorrow ... likely to be late finishing work and with an important meeting on Thursday morning.

Thursday at the Belgian Brewer would be sublime though

Toby's Dad · « **Reply #18983 on:** 07 March, 2023, 06:22:34 pm »

I could do the Prince of Wales but probably not if it's snowing as only have normal tyres.

Thursday I can't do because I'm at a painful work meeting.

GavinC · « **Reply #18984 on:** 07 March, 2023, 06:33:11 pm »

Tomorrow or Thursday are both fine for me.

Lightning Phil · « **Reply #18985 on:** 07 March, 2023, 06:48:03 pm »

It was snowing here earlier. But now clear skies, Jupiter and Venus in one direction and a massive worm moon in the other.

Tomsk · « **Reply #18986 on:** 07 March, 2023, 07:20:57 pm »

Well, Thursday at The Belgian Brewer would be good.

20:00-ish?

Psyclist, is it cosy in there or do we need our 'lockdown' jackets?

20:00 would suit me.

They’ve changed the setup during the winter to keep the main door closed, with entry via a door and corridor off to the side. I presume that is to keep the warmth in, so I’m going to suggest it’s not cold in there, but because it is an industrial unit, I wouldn’t be expecting cosy warmth. As when riding a bike, bring some layers!

Not ridden since I got back from hols on Saturday. Bit of snow getting into work this morning and looks like a bit more this evening.

Forecast is a bit damp for tomorrow evening but if it improves a bit I'll be out.

howdee · « **Reply #18990 on:** 08 March, 2023, 07:16:58 pm »

Should be able to get to the Belgian Brewer tomorrow for 8pm

jiberjaber · « **Reply #18991 on:** 08 March, 2023, 07:34:33 pm »

Bit far for me in heavy rain - enjoy.

Could you bring 2 pairs for me too please

Reminded me I had some complaints about my current flaps in the Netherlands when travelling above something like 50mph ...

BFC · « **Reply #18996 on:** 09 March, 2023, 01:18:00 pm »

I will be staying home tonight.

Owen · « **Reply #18997 on:** 10 March, 2023, 10:55:25 am »

So it appears that next Wednesday (and Thursday) the kids school will be closed so they will be packed off to the grandparents.
So I'm in.
Western split again ?
Could Bernster make 2 in 2 months ?

Owen

Probably a good call, given the far eastern venue being discussed for next week. I won't be suggesting the Belgian Brewer again for a while, that was potent!

Might be a bit of a stretch, but always keen to sneak out if I can. It's definitely easier in the school holidays

Assume the Belgian Brewer got a bit messy? It's on my list of places to visit, but maybe a better idea to use train assist.
