I was thinking of setting off from Witham at about 9am for a circuitous pootle to Maldon if anyone fancies riding over with me.

I hope to join your goodself and Ted for a pootle over to the barge and then beer tasting

Don't forget your ID to prove you're 18.

I'll probably take the stabilisers off too

You might want to leave those on.

Have you seen the forecast for Saturday morning ?

Breezy.

Aren't we slip-streaming ~~the tank~~ Fred?

Good point. That way we'll be able to ride two abreast and still stay out of the wind.

I shall be wearing my festive hat.

With matching attire? Jiberjaber won't be impressed otherwise....

I was so in awe of the jumper I failed to notice the arm coordination fail...

You're going to love my festive hat. It isn't Gore though - sorry about that.

That was an epic fail on the co-ordination front.....

Does it keep to brand on the rest of the attire you will be wearing though?

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #35 on:** 03 December, 2015, 12:55:43 pm »

No-one is going to be disappointed.

Oh but ~~Al Gore~~ Jiberjaber will be if it's not all matching

You will all be pleased to here that there is another lighting upgrade package awaiting the Pinnacle (sounds like i'm in F1) expecting it to look something like this next Weds

I'm off to see how much a welder's mask will cost on eBay. I value my retinas.

That shouldn't be required OD as the brightness level can be adapted via the smartphone app for group riding, maybe best not to do so whilst riding in the group however to avoid any potential mishaps

My Saturday morning is now going to be spent driving to Glemsford to have my spokes sorted out. Luckily I know what beer tastes like....although I also know it tastes much better when it is ~~fresh~~ free

tedshred · « **Reply #44 on:** 05 December, 2015, 08:29:15 am »

My Saturday morning is not going to involve riding a bike in this wind with my lingering man flu. Some fettling may take place however. Enjoy the beer

The Retiree · « **Reply #45 on:** 05 December, 2015, 08:31:23 am »

I'm already in the garage getting with mechanical issues

don't wait at Spa for me OD! I will try and catch you up or meet you at the barge

tedshred · « **Reply #46 on:** 05 December, 2015, 08:35:54 am »

15th set of spare lights on the Pinnacle causing you trouble ?

The Retiree · « **Reply #47 on:** 05 December, 2015, 08:50:13 am »

Batteries flat.......
