Mid-Essex Mid-Week Nocturnal Series

[Carlosfandango]

Forecast is looking quite benign for this evening now. Dry and a wind strength about the same as last Saturday.

BBC weather is still forecasting 40+mph here in Mid-Essex.  Thus I shall not be venturing out plus I'm doing Cottage Pie for tea which can't be rushed as its my favourite 

Hard as nails👍. Is it Midsommer Murders or Miss Marple for you tonight?

[Carlosfandango]

Broxted to far far for me in current state I'm afraid, looks like I'll do without my Ribs and go on the Turbo.

Not around for the next 2 weeks.

I thought the main plan for the main peloton was still to go to the hurdlemakers - this is just a NW splinter group.

If it helps reinforce jibbers' turbo date, I won't be venturing out in to the skirts of storm Dudley this evening (I had enough character building top-up last week returning from the Hurdlemakers).

Another person joins "The Hard As Nails" Club.

Your recruitment campaign is going well. You must be a proud founder member.

I am. There's no chance of membership for you, you're not hard enough.

Both are way too violent!

You should bear in mind that Call the Midwife is my favourite show on the telly (*) and on Saturday 18th June I have booked myself and The Current Mrs R on the CtM tour at Chatham Dockyard    So I won't be available for any audaxing on that date 

(*) I hide behind a cushion during the gory bits

Excellent. I don't blame you OD, 8K telly's are great, but that's the last thing you want to see (or hear) in HD.

[Oscar's dad]

Exactly, I'm not keen on the sound effects!

I know, I keep going out on my bike, which must ruin my chances of joining.

Exactly, you won't do well with that attitude young man!

[Toby's Dad]

Hmmm ... might give tomorrow a miss, unless a nearer venue than the Hurdlemakers appears. Another named storm, still feeling a bit sinus-y and with a full day of gardening to do first - I'd like to save myself for the weekend's shenanigans.

I was at the hurdlemakers last week so happy to aim for a north westerly venue - POW at Broxted?

Sorry to miss such a NW venue - only just leaving work now; and haven't seen any updates all day. Just logged in out of curiosity to see if anyone was daft enough to go out. Having a full nightmare week, so couldn't have made anywhere but hope to catch up on Saturday...

[Nick]

Sorry - got involved in DIY and the time has vanished, mean't to say earlier that I'm not out after all.

[Oscar's dad]

I'm wondering if the emblem of The Hard as Nails Club could be a winged Cottage Pie being held aloft by Call the Midwife cast members?

A sight only present in your not very wild dreams!

Being Mid Essex - should be a nicely painted false nail with a bit of overspray of fake tan.

Early bid for The Cricketers in Danbury this week. (Except those who haven't made it to the Hurdlemakers yet...)

That's ok by me.

[Oscar's dad]

Perfect!  Anyone else likely to be in the Witham peloton?

[BFC]

Expecting to roll up.

19:30?

[Andy C33]

Hopefully 👍

[Snotty Gilbert]

If I can get enough fitness to cycle back from there

[Nick]

Up for this. 8pm?

[Oscar's dad]

Up for this. 8pm?

Might be a little later perhaps.  Look forward to seeing you!

[Tomsk]

Up for this. 8pm?

  20:30-21:00 more likely for me.

[josser]

I’m aiming for 7:30pm for some dinner

[huggy]

I should be able to come out to play this evening.

[Oscar's dad]

I should be able to come out to play this evening.

7.30 at "The Roundabout Which Didn't Blow Away In The Storms" I take it?
