I think JEM has a knee injury, so was just thinking about that... There's that other pub I passed on the way to Marks Tey, in Feering I think... The Bell?

Thank you.

Yes, somewhere not too far but which doesn't put Ted at risk of drowning, would be great. Appt with consultant in a couple of weeks but I pretty much know the score so it's a balance between keeping some fitness and not completely wrecking it before it can be sorted out.

Hmmm...

Colchester is very East but Nik is away this week...
GS wanted a trip to Tollesbury, which is probably a bit better for Dirk
Tom is after somewhere a bit more central however, White Notley is bang on the centre of Gravity for MEMWNS

If only there was a nice pub in Messing that was friendly...

The Chequers Inn, Goldhanger?

Anyone ridden / walked the path between Goldhanger and Tollesbury on the "sea wall" what's it like??

tedshred · « **Reply #13681 on:** 31 July, 2019, 12:44:05 pm »

yes to Chequers.

Seawall is "difficult". I rode Heybridge to Tollesbury on the Tripster with 38mm tyres and it was hard, windy and windy.

jiberjaber · « **Reply #13682 on:** 31 July, 2019, 12:55:11 pm »

OK...

The Chequers Inn, Goldhanger

it is then!

Tomsk · « **Reply #13683 on:** 31 July, 2019, 03:23:47 pm »

Ok ... should be there for 9, possibly with Soupy [or maybe he'll drive - doesn't do headwinds ... ]

jiberjaber · « **Reply #13684 on:** 31 July, 2019, 04:33:05 pm »

I'll be dining so shall be there when you all arrive...

tedshred · « **Reply #13685 on:** 31 July, 2019, 04:45:51 pm »

What time are you dining and where ?

jiberjaber · « **Reply #13686 on:** 31 July, 2019, 05:15:04 pm »

Chequers Inn, sometime after 19:30 onwards subject to the offfff-road COR joys I have planned

tedshred · « **Reply #13687 on:** 31 July, 2019, 05:18:25 pm »

I am on fixed so no COR for me.

Possible I may join you for a bite depending on how I get on at work.

I rode from Goldhanger to Heybridge the other week, no problems.
25c tyres, just be aware of caravanners as you go past Osea caravan park.

tedshred · « **Reply #13690 on:** 31 July, 2019, 06:26:17 pm »

The path deteriorates significantly after Goldhanger - in fact it's barely a path.

There is a nice little byway up from the sea wall to the outskirts of Tollesbury though.

jiberjaber · « **Reply #13691 on:** 31 July, 2019, 09:52:12 pm »

Yep all good to Heybridge , eventually fading away to a grass track.

jiberjaber · « **Reply #13692 on:** 05 August, 2019, 01:07:19 am »

OK - this week, The Woolpack, Witham (subject to confirmation of bike parking arrangements - I think BFC was going to see if the new owners will accommodate us in their rear again...)

tedshred · « **Reply #13693 on:** 05 August, 2019, 10:36:47 am »

I have an off site so possibly calling in by motorised transport.

The Woolpack is a proper tapering destination for the Hustler at least.

Someone clearly wasn't listening when I said I wouldn't be out this week, due to being on late shift.

I heard that bit, but thought I did hear you offer to check it out? If not perhaps someone local could pop in to see?

Tomsk · « **Reply #13699 on:** 06 August, 2019, 08:41:04 pm »

If the Witham Woolly isn't suitable re:bike parking, there are other alternatives nearby ... though I have to say I am getting paranoid about the PBP bike.
