A late late post Christmas night time Ride to Bognor

[TimO]

I think you are a bunch of wusses.

If you want to do it, I can still meet you at HPC Wow?

[Adrian]

Do we get to find out what the treat was?Or does it remain on file for another time?

[Adam]

It was only a little treat, but it can remain for the re-run.

My main hope is that Pippa can be persuaded to make more alcoholic choccy goodies (as I'm assuming the current batch is all gone now).

I don't think any of the last match made it beyond HPC!  Sadly, I arrived too late.

You didn't get any because you were late

For the November '08 FNRttC I took a flask of sweet black coffee with a splash, or three , of rum, which went down very well at the Ditchling greenhouses. I was planning on making more for this ride, but I probably won't be able to attend the rescheduled ride, so someone else will have to fill in for me.

It certainly did, and remembering this I fitted my bikebuddy the other day so I could do similar.

[Adam]

Mmm - how many tots of rum are there in 2 litres??

[Pippa]

3.5 tots but that is based on the proper hardcore 50% stuff. For the pansy 40% stuff you get nowadays you'd need about 4.4 tots or thereabouts. Prolly worth rounding up to 5

As for the alcoholic choccie - for you lot of course I'll make some

As it happens, the booze choccy didn't get made so the requisite ingredients (booze and choccy plus stuff) are sitting around waiting for the rescheduled ride. I just need the packing guru aka Jurek to figure out a way I can carry said booze choccy on my bike without the need for a rack or panniers

My bikes have racks, I have panniers.  Shall I stop by tomorrow for lunch?

Back to the main topic, as Tim had originally suggested Friday 22nd January as another day, and the snow might have melted by then, who's able to make that one?

[Adrian]

Not me that day, I'm afraid.

[Jurek]

I have childcare duties to perform on the Saturday, which would preclude me from joining this ride.

However, that doesn't mean that I couldn't turn up at HPC with Pippa's chocofrolic goodness to wave you off.

But.... but..... who would be there to shout out when I go the wrong way.

I'm going to be away some of that week and by Friday I'll be knackered and in no fit state to do an overnight ride. But as I don't live in London, I don't consider I have much power over which date you should chose.

[TimO]

I only picked that date because it and the original date of this ride were nicely spaced between the last and first official FNRttCs of their respective seasons.

There's no reason why we can't pick another date which is more suitable for the majority of people.

[TimO]

I've put a poll here to take a vote on the best date to attempt to run this ride on.
