Not out tonight

Chest still tight after yesterdays ride and my cough now scares the shit out of people, even though I've had it since giving up smoking 24 years ago

That's actually quite funny.
Similarly not out, but only because my Californians are trying to extend their manufacturing facility mandatory shut-down to everywhere else in the world and need to be stopped.

Patagonia is no more

If we are not all on lock down next Wednesday, is the plan to stick with the Leather Bottle in Pleshey, as per the calendar?

I'm now on enforced home working for the foreseeable future, making Wednesday evenings easier to manage, if it remains safe to go out!

Can I have a show of hands for Leather Bottle please, I'll give Rob the landlord a message and see if all is OK for Wednesday.... I'll make a count on Monday night...

I'm riding tonight.

No probs AC - was worried we hadn't heard from you for a while!

So 5 of us tonight - see you there!

psyclist · « **Reply #14482 on:** 18 March, 2020, 08:54:11 pm »

Not me. Just come off a call, but in any case I'm committed to the social distancing. Would be a nightmare if I was the one who caused my household to self-isolate for 14 days.

Sorry, The Dutch Wife was having a coronavirus wobble, so needed to support.

No worries, you missed free beer and a good chat

Just been thinking, its clear that the current situation is going to severely bollox our normal MEMWNS / ACME activities for the foreseeable future. But once its all over, heaven only knows when that'll be, perhaps we should have an Epiphany stylee event to celebrate. It's always nice to have something to look forward to.

Something along those lines

Perhaps, given the lack of cafes open and current recommendations to avoid going to them when out riding, we should resurrect the coffee rides? Fresh air and plenty of space plus still a good motivator to get out on the bike?

I agree. My weekends seem to be somewhat barren. I still plan to get out on the bike in any case, but aiming for a 'spaced out gathering' sounds spot on.

I was thinking mid week given everyone is "working from home" Cycling is the new golf after all!

Hoemill Lock was the venue for the first and only (as far as I am aware) coffee morning.

I think there is a layer on OSM for picnic benches, but not sure how accurate it is for our area...
