Heard back from the festival, "Sorry - no. Too costly and complicated !". Where did you hear they were broadcasting audio Steve?

So it's either a football free evening or an alternative.
So far we have:

JEM & Lynx : Wed (prefered) or Tue
NJW: Tue or Thurs
Tippers: no pref
Huggy: Tue
GenSec: Tue
Josser: ?
GreySheep: Tue
Tomsk: Tue
BB: ?
BFC: No pref
Psyclist: not out

It was on The Oddie's FB page.

I can do Tues but not Weds or Thurs - which probably means you will all go for Weds.

As my Thurs is going to be dedicated to cycling things I may just forego a mid-week ride, so I'll abstain from voting and may just turn up to anything arranged.

Tuesday is looking the most popular so far....

I'll work around the football, so Tuesday or Thursday if Saturday is good, or back to Wednesday to drown our sorrows if Saturday doesn't go to plan

I'm like Huggy. To be honest, with Hereward the wake and a bit of a gout flare up evident (must remember to take meds when I go away) it's unlikely I will be out anyway. I just thought I'd mention the Oddy if the football things was going to be an issue.

Tomsk · « **Reply #12307 on:** 05 July, 2018, 08:23:26 pm »

Either Tuesday or Thursday is ok for me, slight preference for Tuesday.

I’ve got stuff on everyday next week, which’ll make Hareward interesting. Think I’ll go caffeine free for a few days, which worked well for both Avalon Sunrise and the ACME Grand. Suspect it gave me better sleep before each ride.

Next time I’m free on a Wednesday is 1st August.

BFC · « **Reply #12309 on:** 06 July, 2018, 02:51:18 pm »

No preference for me.

Also thinking about doing the Hereward - gears or fixed options available, although the fixed bikes don't have bottle cages. Comments welcome, probably.

Bottle cages are preferable, they'll stop your bottles from falling off the bike!

Looks like it will be Tuesday for MEMWNS this week.

Tomsk · « **Reply #12312 on:** 08 July, 2018, 02:25:10 pm »

21:00 Tuesday @ Admiral's Park, Big Bad City locks at the ready...

josser · « **Reply #12313 on:** 10 July, 2018, 11:50:59 am »

Can’t make it tonight I’m afraid, have to work... I’ll be at the festival at 3pm doing publican-like stuff if anyone is early. Otherwise see you after my 600km this weekend (gulp) - enjoy Hereward those that are doing it!

tippers_kiwi · « **Reply #12314 on:** 10 July, 2018, 01:49:16 pm »

I'll not be making it either with the intent of being sensible heading for Friday night.

'Enjoy' the 600 Josser!

Jem · « **Reply #12315 on:** 10 July, 2018, 03:12:22 pm »

Another chance to visit Boss Hoggs

Snotty Gilbert · « **Reply #12316 on:** 10 July, 2018, 03:25:23 pm »

Do we have a proposed route yet?

jiberjaber · « **Reply #12317 on:** 10 July, 2018, 04:29:39 pm »

I'm heading out for a loop around then collecting Josie who is threatening to cycle there!

huggy · « **Reply #12318 on:** 10 July, 2018, 04:30:56 pm »

I'm not going to make it this evening.

Excellent! See you there. Swapped London office days so no 5.30am start for me tomorrow means I can do this evening. We'll make our (direct-ish) way from Witham aiming for an earlier arrival at the festival.

Nik's Nick · « **Reply #12320 on:** 10 July, 2018, 04:57:14 pm »

Afraid I can't make it either.

jiberjaber · « **Reply #12321 on:** 10 July, 2018, 05:04:50 pm »

We'll probably aim for 8ish as will need some food...

Andy C33 · « **Reply #12322 on:** 10 July, 2018, 05:45:31 pm »

I’m not able to make it tonight, don’t worry it’s beer festival rules anyway.

tedshred · « **Reply #12323 on:** 10 July, 2018, 06:14:26 pm »

Not looking good for me either and I need to be up early for Birmingham anyway.

Snotty Gilbert · « **Reply #12324 on:** 10 July, 2018, 06:44:26 pm »

I'll go for a loopy/direct route to the festival - see you all there around 9:00pm
