Thank you for your tips Mr O. I rely on you to keep me on the straight and narrow
And now back to pub cycling ...
Whilst there are some pubs I would love to visit again, there are also some new ones I think we should attempt to visit: Railway Tavern (Southminster), Hurdlemakers (visited before but not for a while), The Swan (Bures), Malsters Arms (Heybridge), Five Bells (Colne Engaine) Strangers Home Inn (nr Manningtree) and The Viper (to be missed by some of us on the current cycle) to name just a few.
There are also some special edition rides we could undertake. For example, in one night we could do all the Compasses pubs that go to make up
The Great Essex Mystery.Also, the emphasis of these rides was supposed to be riding not drinking. Judging by the state of some of our members (no names etc) I feel we have some way to go before we can truthfully say we have achieved this objective
So, perhaps we can attempt some longer routes with two pub stops which might be useful as the nights get colder. These longer rides could be interspersed with shorter ones.
What do we think?
