I didn't realise you were the last to know, but time is a healer, you can drink to forget, there's plenty more fish in the sea, etc, etc.

Hang on - wasn't he at the uncivil ceremony ?

That was serious ?

Of course!

What a fool I've been

Anyway, I'm over it now. Looking forward to the jukebox on Wednesday night

Carpenter's Arms Maldon this Wednesday.

Four beers, good bike parking, gas fire and a punk and metal jukebox.

What's not to like.

Ok! I'd forgotten what a decent, proper pub it is. So often tempted away by the 'spoons or the Blue Boar, and various bottle shops/micro pubs in Maldon, never mind the delights of Heybridge.

Will there be any Jilted John on the jukebox?

If I do venture out, ETA?

tedshred · « **Reply #17206 on:** 17 January, 2022, 10:46:55 pm »

8.30pm

huggy · « **Reply #17207 on:** 19 January, 2022, 04:47:58 pm »

Route for the Witham Peloton (includes Bumfords Lido but not had much rain recently)

Sorry - can't make tonight! Have a good one, guys

jiberjaber · « **Reply #17209 on:** 19 January, 2022, 05:29:56 pm »

I'm still stuck at work and even the prospect of going on the turbo isn't working for me tonight... so I'm afraid I won't be out...

In other news I did manage to venture out for the first time this year (i.e. out of the front door!) and the Brompton was involved... so not all lost..

Hopefully catch up with you all sometime in the future, work permitting!

tedshred · « **Reply #17210 on:** 19 January, 2022, 06:03:46 pm »

That's a shame.

Mind you, we are starting to forget what you look like so there's always an upside.

I had some technical questions for you but they can wait.

Sorry. Bailed. Beaten up by the physio at lunchtime.

We did have dinner at the Spiritual Home, though.

Are we heading to a central venue this week?

I've got 3 pairs of tyres that are surplus to requirements, new or very lightly used. If anybody would like any of them I can bring along one Wednesday or to a local Audax.

Continental SportContact 700 x 35 ... used for 130km only. Black.

Continental Mountain King 700 x 32 ... new. Black.

WTB Resolute 650 x 42 TCS Light ... new. Tan.

How about the Leather Bottle, Pleshey or the Axe and Compasses, Aythorpe Roding?

Toby's Dad · « **Reply #17217 on:** 24 January, 2022, 07:44:05 am »

Either of those good for me. How about Axe and Compasses?

Both are good for me. Perhaps the Leather Bottle this time, and aim for Aythorpe Roding when the weather is slightly warmer for those coming from a bit further afield.

EDIT: Ahh ... I was a bit slow with my response, and Toby's Dad snuck in!

Aythorpe Roding is the very definition of a Western Venue. Its a 125k round trip for me so probably not a January venue but I would be up for a June/July jaunt over there.

As usual, if anyone wants an alternative Eastern venue, let me know.

felstedrider · « **Reply #17220 on:** 24 January, 2022, 09:29:25 am »

Will probably be along. It looks like I might have to return to the office during Feb so I will be less available Wednesday nights from then.

Also I have a birthday* on Thursday.

* Not a significant one. That's next year......

Carlosfandango · « **Reply #17221 on:** 24 January, 2022, 10:42:25 am »

Happy Birthday FR, I'm glad it's a minor event for you, at my age they're all significant.

A 115km return trip is a bit beyond me, so I'd be up for an eastern extravaganza this week.

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #17222 on:** 24 January, 2022, 05:38:25 pm »

I'm available to ride this week but don't fancy a western location so happy to head east. Hit me with some suggestions...

JellyLegs · « **Reply #17223 on:** 24 January, 2022, 07:56:13 pm »

I should be up for a quick trip to the Leather Bottle. I think I will be pushing the 1990s vintage Trek mtb into service as I have just lost two spokes on this evening’s ride and won’t have time to get them sorted by Wednesday.

jiberjaber · « **Reply #17224 on:** 25 January, 2022, 08:23:01 am »

I'm a maybe for LB - what time, I am a bit out of sync with how these Wednesday night things work...
