Mid-Essex Mid-Week Nocturnal Series

[felstedrider]

I'm not away in some glamorous Up North location and Real Life ^TM permitting I should be available to ride on Wednesday evening.  Dakota has a slight problem I need to discuss with BFC but BJ and Fred in touring mode are both on the launch pad.

BFC has a quick job from me as well.   We do all seem to be keeping him busy.

Situations like this remind me how little my ‘skills’ count in the real world.

Ditto!

What's the plan?

How about The Walnut Tree in Broad’s Green? It’s been mentioned a few times, and adds something different.

Hah !  No, actually.  Broken spoke on the geared Audax bike.

😱 You actually ride a geared bike! Surely fixed is perfect for every ride?

Don't think I've ever said that.   Different bikes for different things.   Keep your mind open.

When the world descends into chaos and we have a barter economy I think we're a bit stuck.

I was going to suggest Hurdlemakers but Walnut Tree works for me also.

OD - there's some good COR that works from the Hospital straight in to Broads Green, I rode it last week and it was good.

[Carlosfandango]

The Walnut Tree is within my limited range, so I should be out this week.
If anyone has a "fixie" that BFC isn't repairing, then I'd love to see it and voice my appreciation of both bike and rider.

Oooo, sounds exciting. Got a link to a map showing said COR?

Never fear.   Mine is now sorted.

You seem very angry about something.   Can’t quite put my finger on it.

[Toby's Dad]

As it stands at the moment, I can't do Wednesday, but I'm hoping for a late cancellation so I can join at the W Tree.

[Nick]

I'm in!

I think someone needs cheering up

ACME has just the prescription for you:

1) Go for a ride
2) See your chums
3) Drink beer

  Works every time!

[Carlosfandango]

Thank you Tomsk, my knees are recovering, I'll be looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday evening.

Hello Witham peloton, I have a suggested ROUTE taking in jiber's COR.  The route might benefit from some local knowledge oversight 

[jiberjaber]

Yep - that's pretty much it. I'd give Sandford and Arbour Roads a swirve though and just continue ahead as you come out of the subway on Chelmer Road around on the cyclepaths to the Bunny Walk. Look out for the painting on the bunnywalk as you come under the flyover.

We'll go with your version.  Nothing like local knowledge.  Cheers me dear

I used to have the south to north KOM on that COR until a bunch of arseholes went faster
