Can I suggest we leave Tollesbury 'til later in the year when Ted and I can co-ordinate a boats, bikes and beer night?

Cheers

GS

Good thinking.

A nice evening tide would be perfect for getting out again the morning - not sure if you would make it back on to your mooring with the last of the flood but you'd have a sporting chance.

So the Hurdlemaker's then? I'm looking more likely BTW.

I will absent myself from this week's discussion as I'm not 100% I can attend. If I do I will go with the flow, or the tide.

Fine

If I'm able to ride I will rock up at the appointed hour and appointed location and follow a wheel

Looked like a nice route to me...

It was one of my classics

I have more in a similar vein.

^ Wot, no Dogger's Lane?

I may be able to intercept on one of the loops, when I've worked out which way you'll be heading!

I doubt we will be enjoying loopy fun

It’s my birthday tomorrow so I probably won’t be along... though who knows with me!

In the interest of loop avoidance diversity I have plotted this route, it also gives the Westerners opportunity of easier interception, if desired. (Doggers Lane can be incorporated, although it is currently avoided; not so much activity in the summer evening sun anyway.)
A General's Arms scoop up of GS will obviously be much later than usual, maybe about 20:40, extra time to rest those legs

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #12290 on:** 04 July, 2018, 11:07:34 am »

I'm back to being doubtful for this evening, too much to do pre-holiday. If I'm not at the roundabout go without me.

I think GS is ahoy on his yacht this week?

We are holidaying in Stow Maries for the evening so may pop up for a late drink, what time do you think you’ll be there?

Likely to be there between 9 and 11

Jem · « **Reply #12294 on:** 04 July, 2018, 06:55:07 pm »

I am riding direct to pub. Got home a bit late and still faffing Huggy style so won't make 7.30pm. See you there.

jiberjaber · « **Reply #12295 on:** 05 July, 2018, 10:14:48 am »

So next week it is the legendary Chelmsford Beer Festival....

Problem is, this *might* clash with the World cup England game should they be successful on Saturday.

Some of the group were concerned about this potential issue so I have asked the Festival if they have any plans to show the game. When I hear back I'll let you know.

An alternative was discussed to reschedule to another mid-week day (Thursday or Tuesday). The Festival starts on Tuesday 10th so both are possible but I recall last night I think Tomsk had an existing engagement on one of the nights as did Huggy (Thursday night?)...

So - Wed if the footy is being shown or either Tue or Thurs if not... show of hands please??

Jem · « **Reply #12296 on:** 05 July, 2018, 10:57:14 am »

Can't do Thurs and nor can Carlosfandango (working).
Wed still prefered.

tippers_kiwi · « **Reply #12297 on:** 05 July, 2018, 11:12:15 am »

The Oddy in Colchester is not showing any of the Football if anyone fancies that....although the Beer Festival is obviously the preference.

Nik's Nick · « **Reply #12298 on:** 05 July, 2018, 11:12:43 am »

Can't do Wednesday in any event.
Both Tuesday and Thursday are possible, but no more.

I think they are playing the commentary from a wireless. In case any of you kids think I'm referring to wee fee, I'm not, I'm referring to a proper wireless, like a Roberts

Sorry I missed last night. I'm off now, back last week of July, unless of course we decide to stay en France forever and ever, which is an increasingly tempting thought
