Both riding fixed?
[/quote]Joss is, but I have still to see the reason to.

Don't worry GS, it's beyond reason.

Great wisdom and reason often go unheeded by those that will not listen.

I'm starting to really feel the peer pressure to get BJ out again. You're all bullies.

I'm available to meet up for EER group - awaiting confirmation of destination

Here's a compromise for you OD; why don't you arrange to do a huge ride on BJ one Wednesday with a convoluted route but then not turn up.

Good idea!

Donkey & Buskins at Layer de la Haye.

We can always migrate to the Fox later if we want, we are free spirits after all

That should drag the G&T drinker out to play.

No one else in the EER needs to take any notice of this as everyone is a free spirit but if anyone was wondering I think I'll be casually riding this (if I manage to get out).

tedshred · « **Reply #14008 on:** 30 October, 2019, 05:13:00 pm »

I might intercept you if I casually ride the reverse of a similar route.

Do I spot a cunning plan from Huggy - that looks like a partial route check for the 3Rs.....

purely co-incidental and wasn't intended at all....just uses the same roads to go east....

I’m hoping Tomsk will be taking his cavernous bag to the official venue, as I am carrying an award to pass over, in preparation for whom may win it in 2 weeks time

Should go in the Barley I guess?

I’ve just done a naughty thing. We might be on the telly again. Best you all go and get haircuts etc - even you ‘fandango.

Yes but you weren’t one of the One Show Six so you won’t understand. The roar of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowd...

I'm not going on Police, Camera, Action again.

There has been a suggestion to return to the Donkey & Buskins this coming Wednesday on account of them having a beer and sausage festival. This suggestion may well invoke an East/West split in the MEMWNS collective again but it's just a suggestion - if we do decide to return it may be worth *someone* calling the pub to reserve an area as it was quite busy last week without anything special going on but that didn't deter the landlady from encouraging us to return and place the festival beer & sausage list in front of us.

tedshred · « **Reply #14018 on:** 04 November, 2019, 09:58:25 am »

They also had a very nice fire in there...

Barring any REAL LIFE interventions, and there is a wealth of opportunities at the moment, I should be okay for Wednesday evening and the D&B sounds great.

Tomsk · « **Reply #14020 on:** 04 November, 2019, 07:37:28 pm »

Should be ok for me.

Bit too close to Holland for me - I'll have to skip this one.

Right then, I’ve just had a very nice lady called Karen phone me from BBC’s Look East (she might well be reading this) and they’d love to come and meet us if we were agreeable. Here’s a skinny (as us media types say)...

Look East want to get out and meet ordinary folk of East Anglia who do interesting things and talk to them about what they do and why and what the benefits are. They also want to talk about issues of the day including Brexit and the election. We will be going out live from 6:30 to 7pm from a pub, I’ve already provisionally lined up Joss and The Compasses.

Karen would like some footage of us out on the road which is going to be a stretch if we’re to be at The Compasses by 6:30pm. So the provisional plan is they’ll film us next Wednesday evening then meet us at The Compasses the following day (Thursday evening). Is won’t matter if you drive to the pub as we’ll already have the cycling footage in the can (as us media types say!)

Karen needs as many people as possible in fully ACME kit for pub the road and pub filming. Who’s in??? It’ll be fun!!!

Compasses, 3 times in a week..... have you really thought this through, there'll be a outbreak of war in teh East vrs West stakes!

18:30 will be quite dark by then...

Potentially if I can muster myself out the current cycling CBA

Do you mean this Wednesday/Thursday as in 6th/7th or next week. I can probably come for the ride. Id need to borrow some sexy acme apparel
