I'm not 100% for tomorrow evening.

I'm out for this evening, sorry. Too much going on, nothing bad, just stuffs what need dealing with. Have fun

I'll make it if I can, but obviously don't hang around if I'm not at the RBT by 1930.

BFC · « **Reply #12252 on:** 20 June, 2018, 03:30:27 pm »

I am planning to be at Spa rd for 19:30.

Just back home from the Wild West of England [ok mostly with a strong tailwind and virtually no rain

], so not out tonight. Have a good one.

Maybe a gentle prologue next Wednesday for Grand riders?

Does Sun Inn count as prologue?

Sun Inn [Feering?] is ok by me; central enough for others? Early night would be sensible...

tippers_kiwi · « **Reply #12257 on:** 25 June, 2018, 06:17:53 pm »

perfect for me. I'm off to Wales Thursday morning, sensibly, in a van.

We could do an earlier arrival at the pub for a change?

jiberjaber · « **Reply #12259 on:** 26 June, 2018, 03:49:21 pm »

Did we have a view on earlier arrival?

I'm trying to decide if to still take tomorrow off work and ride somewhere or not and an earlier pub time would fit in to that quite well... (I know I could just rock up myself earlier, but that would be a bit messy!)

Snotty Gilbert · « **Reply #12260 on:** 26 June, 2018, 03:58:11 pm »

I'm going to pass on tomorrow night. The leave early option is always a great idea, but never comes to fruition....

I have something on in Colchester so probably won't get there much before 9 anyway although I might come in the car.....maybe

Attend a beer festival in a car?

Novel...

I'll probably still be along about 9pm, leaving Dunmow at 7-7:30, via a bit of COR south of Braintree [again]...

I've scuppered my own plans by forgetting I've got a delivery due tomorrow so will head out for the usual time also.

had forgotten it was a beer festival....bike it is.

BFC · « **Reply #12266 on:** 27 June, 2018, 03:57:14 pm »

Stopped at the Sun inn on my way to work....

Beer is very good, garden has had a lot of effort put in since our last summer visit.

Gravel entry to the car park is still "interesting" - take care.

See some of you tomorrow at the Weatherspoons for pre grande breakfast.

Isn't the Sun Inn in the opposite way to work??
You have been trained well by OD in the way of route mastery to head out the opposite direction to that of your destination!

huggy · « **Reply #12268 on:** 27 June, 2018, 04:29:25 pm »

We did this route last time we went to the Sun @ Feering, unless anyone has another offering it will be on my GPS to follow the purple line

Carlosfandango · « **Reply #12269 on:** 27 June, 2018, 08:05:07 pm »

We're at the Sun already! Some lovely beers, you'd all best hurry up before jem polishes them off, she's on a mission!

jiberjaber · « **Reply #12270 on:** 02 July, 2018, 03:11:55 pm »

This week has Ale House, Chelmsford penned in however conversations over the weekend indicated The Hurdlemakers as an attractive alternative venue given we have not long since been to Chelmo....

There was also talk of The Kings Head in Tollesbury to coincide with Grey Sheep being berthed there in his yacht.... though this would be subject to his confirmation of attendance

Collective decision please.

tedshred · « **Reply #12271 on:** 02 July, 2018, 03:15:30 pm »

Ah Jiber, feeling better then if we are not going to Chelmsford, again.

Either works for me. I don't think the tides work for me to bring my sister vessel in as well which would have been fun. There is also a bar at the sailing club and one at the marina but not sure of opening times.

Might be time for a West Mersea Yacht Club visit as well. It's been two years, they've probably recovered.

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #12272 on:** 02 July, 2018, 03:30:08 pm »

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.

Hudlemakers: "Tuesday is......
Football and drink us dry night
£2.50 a pint from the festival when it’s gone it’s gone!!"

maybe there will some left on Wed?

Tomsk · « **Reply #12274 on:** 02 July, 2018, 09:09:01 pm »

Mr & Mrs Scottish Borders Randonneurs are down south for a holiday: Horses for Courses on Saturday and Hereward the week after. I'm hoping they can join us this Wednesday.

A decision as to venue asap would be good! Hurdlemakers would be a shorter ride for centrally located recovering Grandees, maybe [though too far east for some]?
