Mid-Essex Mid-Week Nocturnal Series

[tedshred]

Between GavinSSN asking questions about tyres and Jiber organising his next forrin trip, we have forgotten to agree a venue for tonight.

Can one of the elders decide between the Hurdlemakers and the PoW.

Option 1 to the PoW
Option 2 to the Hurdlemakers (Includes OD influences of almost being there and carrying on just to put a few more wheel revolutions in.) [Could go down Hagg Hill on this route]
Both TMNH and Jan friendly 

[Snotty Gilbert]

I'm happy to join the peloton at Spa Road if that makes the route better...

Cheers

Can one of the elders decide between the Hurdlemakers and the PoW. 

Huggy, I don't think putting up two options counts as a decision 

This is way above my pay grade so first of you elders to make an actual decision wins.

Hurdlemakers.

[jiberjaber]

I'm not an elder and either location is on route for me.

You joining us Del? Other than the Epiphany I think the last time you were out on a Wed was at Hurdlemakers last year sometime IIRC  (It was also the initiation of acorn and mini-andy) 

Has Jan done his initiation yet? 

[tedshred]

Hurdlemakers it is then.

All initiates need to remember to bring their blindfolds.

Footpath action at 25.9km (The Glebe) on Option 2.

I'm following a similar route at Cold Norton but turning left at Purleigh and doing Walton Hall Lane and then Chimney Pot, Goat House, Burnham Road... as it's nicer

Adjusted Option 2.  There will be a strong temptation to carry straight on at the end of Slough Lane in to Goat House and not do the gratuitous extra 10km 

[tedshred]

My route comes along Slough Lane but has no gratuitous 10km 

[huggy]

In fact, as nominated elder in the absence of anyone else wanting to take up the mantle, I have adjusted the Witham Peloton route again for extra funness - this is it now.
(No Slough Rd to Goats House short cut temptation!)  (Plus the added bonus option of a quick refreshment at the PoW as we pass by  )

I'm happy to join the peloton at Spa Road if that makes the route better...
Cheers
Jan

We're going up TMNH anyway, be pleased to see you wherever you wish to join us   

[Oscar's dad]

I'm currently 208 miles from Witham on the M6 at Knutsford services about to start what promises to be a long and dull conference call so won't be joining you all I'm afraid.  Have fun!

Hagg Hill is a one way road - uphill only.

What time do you think you will be at Crows Lane?

[huggy]

What time do you think you will be at Crows Lane?

About 8:25?

[jiberjaber]

If I set off around 19:10 I might meet you there, still planning on a pint at POW ?

[huggy]

If I set off around 19:10 I might meet you there, still planning on a pint at POW ?

If we do that we may not leave until closing time and then Ted will be all alone in the Hurdlemakers 

[Snotty Gilbert]

Hi All,

Looking at the route, I'll join you at the Generals Arms at the top of TMNH about 20:00

Cheers

He'll have Del to keep him company wont he?

(I'm a bit worried I may have to get my tea there tonight, which might entail an early start and no rendezvous at Crow Ln....)

ETA: looks like that wont be a problem
ETA2: See you at 20:25 Crows Lane

[huggy]

ETA2: See you at 20:25 Crows Lane

Anyone joining me in the Witham Peloton depart this evening?  Probably need to be away pretty sharpish to make the time splits!

[Andy C33]

I'm aiming to be out.

[BFC]

I'm going to be at Spa Rd tonight.

[Tomsk]

Still on for the Cats this week?

[Oscar's dad]

Still on for the Cats this week?

That would be splendid.  I'm a probable but not a definite for this week.

[jiberjaber]

I think there was talk last Wed of a location West of Chelmsford  - Viper, Wheatsheaf, Horse & Groom ... but perhaps not the Cats
