It was another excellent night* at the S&C

Oaky treated us to feast later in the evening energising us for the ride home:

*yes I know it was ages ago but I don't do the internetz as much others here

Ps - I know as cyclists we are the kings and queens of faff, but it would be nice if we could upload photos directly to this site

I've got that book, very good it is!

I can't make this Wednesday evening, as I have to give a talk/assessment of work for the Dunmow Art Group, but am planning on going to the White Hart in Gt Saling with David Kerry, on Tuesday evening, probably being there for about 9.00pm.

Anyone out tomorrow?

Came down with something nasty Monday night, with a fever that night nurse had trouble bringing down, just feel like I've ~~had an all night free pass at the playboy mansion~~ had all the energy drained from me, sorry not this week

In that case i will meet up with chief in the OMP for a non-cycling beer or three

Oaky · « **Reply #1656 on:** 18 November, 2010, 07:30:50 am »

hmm

- didn't ride (apart from home from Witham as usual).

+ met chief for beer in London

+ met mutual friend for more beer

+ had seriously good "Farmers Ales" in Chelmsford pub

++ met ToKaMaK and bobb in same pub.

what an ace night (not even counting the curry we had, which was one of the
BEST I have ever tasted).

ToKaMaK had some serious hair issues.

I'll have to reacquaint myself with the Gulshan if it's that good. You were in fine piss-taking form last night, not to mention - quite drunk

I cycled about 5 miles, to town and back

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #1658 on:** 18 November, 2010, 07:36:20 pm »

Appalling! Had I been there I would have put a stop to the piss taking. And I would have remained sober.

I take it the above is some thinly veiled insult

Was an excellent evening

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #1662 on:** 20 November, 2010, 07:55:12 am »

Apparently me un Oaky are going out for a spin on Monday night. I am a bit hazy about the exact arrangements as I got well drunk last night when the conversation took place.

We were at a quiz night at an infants school with our respective (and slightly more sober) wives. I wouldn't have thought it possible to get so wasted in such an improbable venue.

At a guess I would say your behaviour was entirely appropriate for your surroundings.

Did you get to play in the sand pit?

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #1664 on:** 20 November, 2010, 08:36:44 am »

No, nor did I fall in the sandpit. And we recycled our empties on the way out at the school's own bottle bank!

I was planning something not unlike this, with the rest stop at Little Totham (The Swan). About 30 miles to the pub and then 6 back to Witham.

Gulp. I'll pack an extra lung.

Oaky · « **Reply #1668 on:** 29 November, 2010, 12:03:01 am »

Anyone up for freezing stuff off this Wednesday?

Tomsk · « **Reply #1669 on:** 29 November, 2010, 07:11:40 pm »

I can't manage Weds unfortunately, but am ok tomorrow, if thats any good. The Marathon Winters are on the Kona ready to play!

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #1670 on:** 29 November, 2010, 07:28:40 pm »

I'm away. Have fun!

Oaky · « **Reply #1671 on:** 29 November, 2010, 08:31:39 pm »

OK - I've now accepted an invitation to play chess on Weds night so I won't be out either.

Not sure about Tuesday yet - if I can make it out, I probably wouldn't get away from here before ~8:45.

Tomsk · « **Reply #1672 on:** 30 November, 2010, 10:03:46 am »

David k can't face coming out, but then he doesn't have SPIKY TYRES! I found some ice, for my first serious fun last night - unexpectedly, at the foot of a hill with a hump-backed bridge - and things didn't get out of hand [much!]. If you can come out, Oaky, do you want to pick somewhere nearer to Witham, like the Sq & Compasses? Otherwise, the Compasses at Littley Gn suits me.

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #1673 on:** 30 November, 2010, 10:34:24 am »

My MTB cum tourer (Claud) is in the garage undergoing a disc brake conversion so he can't come out to play. Hopefully he will be fighting fit soon (I am waiting a delivery from Wiggle) and the snow and ice will still be around so I too can play with our spikey tyres.

Tomsk · « **Reply #1674 on:** 30 November, 2010, 06:44:33 pm »

Next Weds will be my ** rd birthday, so I shall be preoccupied with CAKE and other goodies! So, then I'll see you at the Xmas do on 10th.
