Mid-Essex Mid-Week Nocturnal Series

[Oscar's dad]

No but......I just added a 12 foot trampoline on Sunday!

Oh God.  Can you dismantle and hide it before Oaky arrives?

[tippers_kiwi]

So, just to confirm.

LOCATION CHANGE
We are now going to the Live and Let Live in Millers Lane after a visit to Tippers Towers.

[Oaky]

OK - will head for the Live and Let Live, unless I get to the station in time to tag along with the Peloton to tippers towers.

[huggy]

Do they sell pickled eggs there? We may have a debutant 

[tippers_kiwi]

I would have to be honest and say I don't know, it's not the first thing I look for at a pub although I should know better!

Disappointed not to join you ACME folks on tonight's ride as I am on dog sitting duty. Did spot a chap in ACME jersey with 2 lasses through Wormingford whilst riding home from work on the couch potato bike. I guess they could be on their way to meet you lot of real ale guzzlers.

Well, it is official.  An electric bike will give you piles

I'm just thankful that the GP didn't need to

chief, you may have heard about my Healing Hands ^TM.  Ordinarily I'd only be too happy to help a friend in need.  In your case, with this specific problem I'm not, you're on your own - sorry.

[chief]

I appreciate the forthright and honest appraisal of the situation OD

On the plus side already it seems to be retreating as quickly as it came on

Doctor has banned me from cycling for a while though

Did I see something about today being a velodrome night?

Thanks for organising huggy; I'm pleased to be the Lantern Rouge!

[psyclist]

Yes, thanks for organising yet another enjoyable trip to the velodrome Huggy.

Interesting that virtually everybody improved their times. Seems as though a single lap before the flyer was sufficient, plus our experience is improving and no doubt many more miles have been ridden since April.

I'll get me coat

There were plenty of excuses being banded before the flying laps from those who managed a quicker time. Surely you could fallback on one of them ... lack of riding recently, equipment failure, take your pick

A few months older?  Couldn't be arsed?

Where's your competitive spirit OD?

[Oscar's dad]

I've never had one!

Next week...Nick H of Blackmore Cycling Apparel is intending joining us to show samples of winter kit - I suggest we pick a Chelmo-friendly venue: I nominate the Hurdlemakers, Woodham Mortimer; any other opinions?

I'll have to try and blag 2 days Working from Home on the spin.....can't do the late night and 5am starts....kills me!

I'll always vote for a visit to The Cats, I'm sure Wally won't mind us erecting a cat walk for Nick to strut up and down.  Perhaps Wally can accompany proceedings by playing tunz on his organ?
