The Witham contingent are staying in ‘spoons cos it’s cold. Come and join us! It’s nice and warm!

27.5 X 2" Winter Tyres arrived and fitted - even the mudguards fit!

I'm Aiming for the King Billy soon...

Yes! They were invaluable on my ride from home to ‘spoons!

That noise is known as riding on rice crispies, I’m getting used to the same on BBB, but only as far as to ‘spoons & back this evening

So, just reading back through the thread - is anyone going to the King Billy tonight?

I think this message board is showing it's age - WhatsApp may be a more timely update???

No idea! We’re having a smashing time in ‘spoons!

From memory, you need to wear in your spiked tyres, 60km I think it was.

I've only just shut down the work laptop, so I won't be out tonight.

I only made it to spoons due to battery life on the front bulb

I am potentially. Not sure about “edging to westerly” though. Remember the evening I spent in ‘spoons last was Wednesday was considered audacious by me at least.

Works for me although I'm in the office during the day so I'll need to make sure I get back at a decent time and that I don't flake which is a terrible habit that I have got into.

Great Waltham/Broads Green/Pleshey pubs are central-ish and reasonably Harlow friendly.

A return to the Beehive in Great Waltham? Pretty sure the cherry harvest will be over now though.

Tomsk · « **Reply #19766 on:** 12 December, 2023, 07:38:29 pm »

Beehive, Gt Waltham - ok Owen?

I'll probably get along around 20:30.

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #19767 on:** 13 December, 2023, 08:49:44 am »

That works for me.

Owen · « **Reply #19768 on:** 13 December, 2023, 09:56:31 am »

All good thank you.

See you around 8:30

Owen

felstedrider · « **Reply #19769 on:** 13 December, 2023, 10:54:02 am »

In the office and some sociopath has put a meeting in my diary at 4:30. Call me 50:50.

Snotty Gilbert · « **Reply #19770 on:** 13 December, 2023, 12:49:32 pm »

I should be able to make it tonight

Owen · « **Reply #19771 on:** 13 December, 2023, 01:25:57 pm »

Any chance someone could chuck me in an ACME buff and some mudflaps tonight please

Nick · « **Reply #19772 on:** 13 December, 2023, 01:56:56 pm »

Sorry, can’t do tonight.

I'll bring buffs and flaps.

It appears that all three routes north of home towards Great Waltham are flooded

Looks like I'm going to be a no-show...
