BTW, who is planning on being at the Roundabout of Mid-Winter Shenanigans?

Here is A ROUTE the Witham peloton might like to follow to The Endeavour.  Stopping at Boss Hogg's on the way home is an option  :thumbsup:

If I get away promptly after 19:00, I might manage to intercept the Famous Witham Peloton by heading up-route from the Spiritual Home.

I see you do a home pick up service, what time will you be passing Thistley Towers?
You can’t just call time out and stroll on into the beach if you don’t like the way things are goin’.

About 8pm at the Felsted / Evelyn Road intersection? 

Or are you suggesting we turn right and bang on your door?  Or pick you up from The Compasses?

I should add we don't offer a home pick up service to everyone you know  ;D  You should consider yourself honored indeed!

Considering I invented MEMWNS and more specifically the Witham Peloton, you’re probably right.

OD, if you could let my butler know 20 minutes before you’ll arrive, it will give my valet enough time to dress me for the evening.

It's easy to forget your contribution to the Mid-Essex cycling scene and to world peace in general (I'm sure you'll sort Ukraine very shortly) so thank you for the timely reminder.  We really shouldn't need reminding  :-[

I have a plan.  Rather than expect you to wait around for us, we'll send huggy to your door to be rude to your staff and BFC to fart through your letter box.  I think its important we fully utilize the talents within the Witham Peloton, its little wonder we're such legends.

I am planning to be out. We actually mostly followed the well constructed wheel of BFC(retired) along one of his commute tracks last time.

I've added a Witham to Endeavour route on the ACME Ride With GPS account. It avoids Broomfield road and the shitty, tortuous path behind Springfield Road, if that helps anyone.

This is all very good.  I shall rock up at 1930 hours and follow anyone vaguely heading west.  What's the worst...?

Have we decided where we are going after we are thrown out of the Endeavour ?

If only you weren't joking. Queens Head Boreham, or are we already "persona non grata" there too?

Do Aldi sell special brew huggy? Or Buckfast for ted?

The QH Boreham still like us, they were very keen to host us for Epiphany.  Let's try to remain in their good books!

With the risk of sounding like a Karen, I distinctly remember ordering the "Premium" collect from home service? I'm afraid I need at least 48 hours notice of a change of service, I demand to speak to your manager!  >:(
