Mid-Essex Mid-Week Nocturnal Series

[jiberjaber]

So we're off to Blackmore then?

Sounds like it - I was going to suggest something over towards Stondon (Bricklayers) which I went past a few weeks ago but I didn't pop in, it's not much further on from Blackmore but might be more of a warm weather pub and with some Westerners out being chased by Bears and eating pizza, might not be an ideal location at the moment...

I'm happy with Blackmore.

OK, Leather Bottle, Blackmore it is.  There is a ROUTE, prepared by huggy, which the Witham peloton could follow.  41 miles

  7:30pm at Spa Road still? I'll be on something close to a 90 mile day in total - not bad for mid-week!

Yes, why not.  I may not stay until closing as I have an early start and a busy day on Thursday.

Have fun, I won't be riding 41 miles tomorrow to Blackmore & back.
I do have sparkling new ACME caps to hand over to Tomsk, I may see you at the roundabout and wave you off!

I can strap a bag of caps to the Carradice ...

Ha ha,

To be honest, I suggested The Leather Bottle as a bit of a joke as it’s the closest pub to me on the MEMWNS venue map!

Top job for you lot not even complaining at all! Makes my long rides out to your parts of the world worthwhile. Think I may have to extend my route to meet you guys along your route there though!

Will you be geared or single?

Good idea!

Sorry folks, I'm bailing out of this evening   :'(

What time are we aiming for tonight?

You could get rid of 5 miles or more by taking a less OD inspired route and missing out TMNH.....

[Nick]

Might meet you guys at Galleywood. What time do you reckon?

Then again, I might not!

[felstedrider]

That's not far off my ride home but I have another early start tomorrow and a 300k perm on Friday.

I'll see anyone riding at the finish of the Woodman on Saturday.

I think it depends on what route they take, its circa 1.5hrs from Witham, if they go TMNH route might be longer than say the more direct 30km route I posted.

My current route is about 26K via Stock, but I was hoping to ride in the daylight for majority of it, so was hoping to arrive around or before 20:30 - I suspect the FWP might be closer to 9pm.

[Snotty Gilbert]

Not out tonight. Still not 100% After last week's Norovirus problems....

The route choice will be down to BFC & Tomsk, it looks like they will be the only two departing the FWP launch pad.

[Nick]

OK, too tired to ride out to any of you so I am leaving soon and going direct. Should be there for shortly after 2000.

[BFC]

I'm staying home - the ankle says no.

[jiberjaber]

On my way, about 2030

[Carlosfandango]

Is anyone out this week? Asking for a friend.

[Nick]

I’m planning to be out
