Mid-Essex Mid-Week Nocturnal Series

Assuming the Witham peleton is taking the slightly longer route, what is the ETA ... 8:30pm?

More like 9:30 I'd say.  That's assuming we do take a longer route.

Assuming a 7:30 departure following that route with 49km to The Compasses it's more likely to be 9:45 (or later) arrival there 

Yes but its forecast to be pi55ing down with rain so we will go faster.  Anyhow, we don't have to take a longer route, its just a idea.

Not to mention the cross/head wind most of the way round....a less long ride to the Compasses is looking more attractive

I'm hoping to be there then-ish as I will most likely be dining.

I'll aim for 8:30-ish too.

Probably 21:00 eta for me.

I may be tempted out for the shorter ride. I'll be at the roundabout if I am

Turn up and we'll sort it out at the roundabout in the rain

I have the bike in London today so my plan is to catch the train to Shenfield and head up from there. Suspect I will be at the compasses between 8:30 and 9 as well. If it's too miserable out there I might just be grumpy and head for home though

Deary me    And just a few moments ago on another thread you were telling us how you were going to do the Arrow on fixed!  MAN UP YOU FAIRY!!!

[psyclist]

I've found a forecast that says it'll not start raining until 9pm ... that'll do for me 

I'm hoping on discussions for different rides this evening ... York, LEL, Holland, and various others that have been mooted. Some logistics and some dates need confirming.

[Oscar's dad]

The BBC on my iPhone says its going to start raining in about 30 minutes and not stop for 24 hours    Perhaps the rain will wash some of the weapons grade mid-Essex crud off Dakota.

You don't have to be hard all the time! Just when it counts.

riding home after a day in the office is one of the times where I am more than happy to be 'soft'

[Oscar's dad]

You'll have the wind behind you all the way from Shenfield to Tiptree via The Compasses.  You won't need to be hard at all!

[huggy]

I am off work today and home now, I feel in need of more beer than miles this evening 

[Oscar's dad]

Can we at least go up TMNH?  It is the most direct route to The Compasses after all.

Are you only saying that so you can pay another visit to Hurrells Lane.........!?

It's only because he misses  you and hopes he might catch a glimpse as he rides by.

He must have stopped last week, he was 45 minutes late.

With OD's choice of attire for the epiphany evening do I think you would be more likely to find him there than me!
I will be sure to invite you all to my retirement do so you don't miss me too much

A meeting of Elders has taken place electronically and it has been decided we will ascend TMNH this evening so we can scoop up North Hill Dwellers by The General's Arms.  Hooray 

[Andy C33]

16 years ago on this date my son decided to enter this world, showing a distinct lack of forward planning.
As a result I may not be out tonight.

Happy birthday to the young un, hope you have cake and beer at the party!
