Perhaps Andy the Beer Bitch should start checking photo ID to guard against under age drinking. I've just remembered, those of you who weren't present yesterday evening won't have seen the BB's new order pad! He has it on long term loan from one of the establishments he visits in his other professional capacity.
With that age profile I'm thinking that I should apply to join the club's junior section
Oh, yes, that was the other noteworthy point, jibers manager to take a photo of the BB smiling! Or perhaps it was just wind.

I suppose if you had it in your 30s or 40s it would be a fairly vintage machine now.We worked out yesterday evening 'fandango was the 4th oldest MEMWNS / ACME rider. From memory it goes something like this:Tomsk (oldest) - 60 this yearGrey Sheep - 60 sometime next yearBFC - 54 next January'fandango - 54 on 7th FebruaryMe - 54 on 27th February

But bear in mind that Tomsk does make sacrifices. All that hanging upside down in a wardrobe instead of sleeping in a bed isn't easy you know.

I though you were all younger. I am a mere 51. Tomsk must have made cut a deal with the devil to remain so ageless...

My New Brooks Cambium All Weather (C17 Carved) turned up yesterday...it seems very rubbery....top and bottom!First ride tomorrow so will be interesting to see how it feels.
FETISH SADDLE!
I wonder if it will squeak like the original C17 (mine is from the rubber bottom rubbing on the rails iirc )

Paging Tomsk & other Dunmow residents........Is this bit all cyclable from Woodside Way to B1008? (planning to use it as part of my ECE for RE100 )
... Shows up better on the satellite image.

(planning to use it as part of my ECE for RE100 )Yes-ish... the last bit linking Woodlands Park with Godfrey Way is an old byway, which can be muddy. However I use Woodlands Park Drive and Willow Road regularly - there's paved footpaths through to Downs Crescent then Godfrey Way. Shows up better on the satellite image.
I'll be thinking of you while I'm in the pub Friday night
