I've persuaded Mrs Sheep to come out with a bribe of "a meal out". :thumbsup:

A while ago some bright spark suggested we organise a WAG's Time Trial with associated betting  :demon:

I put that to her.....the look burnt holes...... ::-)

I've just received an acceptance from guests of honour, Herman and Pauline Ramsey. [Green and Yellow, Asparagus and Strawberries - and others - original organiser: 1979!]

An Audax Legend  :thumbsup:

Wow! I did not realise there was such a long history to these rides. Great news that we'll have such luminaries, and be interesting to learn more of the origins and evolution.

Fantastic, I`ve ridden all his rides, both calendar and perms, will be good to thank him in person :thumbsup

Man alive. 3 Essex audaxes totalling 2,300 ks and the Richard Ellis Memorial 200 a week after the year end. I need to speak to my secretary.

Hi Tom,

Would I have qualified with the following: LEL, Flatlands, Horsepower+100 ECE, Essex 3 R's+100 ECE ?

Not sure how it works for ECEs, and whether LEL counts as Essex for the purposes of the Essex SR. Having said that, I can't make the awards ceremony as I have something which clashes unfortunately.

Cheers
Alan

Looks like you're a 300 or 400 substitute short of the SR   :'(

Surely LEL can count as 400 and Horsepower with 100 ECE as 300 ?

Doh, ignore me...had a brain fart that the Horsepower is 100km  :facepalm:

Bernster,
Looks like you have a valid claim  :thumbsup:

Thanks chaps, wouldn't expect Tom to go digging into everyone's records, he does more than enough with all his organising! Wasn't sure whether ECEs counted either, so that's a bonus - looking forward to adding a 2017 bar to my 2015 medal  :thumbsup:

In Huggy's defence, I just checked and there is a Horsepower 100k as well, and I didn't specify which version I rode (but it was 200k+100k ECE).

In the letter with your Flatlands 600 Brevet Card you should have had a brief note from Tom. It asked you to send him your list of qualifying rides if you thought you had achieved the Essex SR.

You could subject yourself to out initiation if you really want to be part of an exclusive club. Do you have any food allergies.

OD, you'll be pleased to learn that a certain Mr Preater has been heard enquiring about initiation into the club, so preparations will be needed ...

I need to work out a diy route to the pub from Milton Keynes, timing it so I have a westerly wind there, arrive at near ceremony start time, eat and enjoy a pint before cycling into an easterly wind home!

No Essex SR here - managed a 200 (Horsepower), 300 (G&Y), 400 (Arrow from Essex which I think would have counted) but couldn't quite get around to the 600!
I understand that we are still welcome to congratulate those with more staying power, so should see you all on 11th. Planning a DIY with a target arrival time between 18.00 and 19.00 and even provisionally booked B&B to avoid a late night run to Chelmo station. Does anyone know whether the Compasses can produce suitable old fashioned PoP for Luddites to confirm our arrivee?  Or if not can Tomsk as an AUK elder just swear an affidavit for us  :)

And yes, bhoot, all welcome as always at the 'do'. [I'll be there to meet the Ramseys at 18:00]. I did have to do a bit of digging to find out whether some of the usual suspects qualified - it's much easier to give me a prod to claim. Surprised that our Kentish Man [or Man of Kent, I forget which] Garry King hasn't, though, as Tom J has.

This weekend I aim to email all to confirm arrangements...

I'm now mulling over the idea of doing a 200 DIY to the pub, staying the night somewhere, then doing a 200 home on the Sunday, to save the A road dashes I usually end up doing when Essex bound. Not checked the Compasses availability yet, but I can't afford (got no work booked yet this term) £70 a night on my own, so has anyone already got a twin room there/elsewhere, and wanting to halve the cost? They can PM me or post here.
