If you like craft beers try Sips https://maps.app.goo.gl/276QGYVKywMnin7HA

Though GFB & Summer Lightning were on in the Haunch on Wednesday night and they've been building the whisky selection back up; not quite the 100+ I had when I ran it.

last call for anyone who wishes to join the group being fed by a Yeti curry house.  We have 18 hungry randonneurs so far.  The only group I am worried I haven't heard from is the Pompy posse.  If the ACP, UK version would like to join us that would be fantastic, hoping to hear from Postie or one of the other ACP chaps or chapess.

Could we add myself and Thing2 please HK? 🙏🏼
We'll be fresh off the boat from the Alps so small potential to not make it if the borders are closed, half term and all that. But hope to be there 🤞🏼

Of course.  Hope you will be there as will be really good to catch up.

I will now book two tables to make things more manageable for the restaurant.

Less than a week to go, gome from riding a 200km to 100km instead, currently just hoping I will be fit enough to get out doors and somehow get there. If I don't get there be the first one I have missed.

You can do it old young chap.  It wouldn't be the same without you.  None of my group are registering an event, just riding a pleasant route there.

Our plans (George, Danny, and me with my 9 and a 1/2 toes) currently envisage a civilised 80km. And there seem to be no named storms in prospect. You'll be reet...

Dentist appointment for me on Monday morning, which means I am now too late to set off to ride the Ridgeway and King Alfred Way, dropping in here along the way.
So it means the Deliveroo plan.
I'll pack the tent I bought for £7.50 on my way home from PBP so that I could do some Deliverooing in Brighton, along with a sleeping bag, onto my bike that I use for Deliveroo and rode on the last PBP. I'll also bring the only Deliveroo bag that has completed a PBP!
No worries if I am too late for the curry. I can always amuse myself in Salisbury doing deliveries if it comes to that. Is the curry house on Deliveroo? Might be handy to hang around there whatever happens 😎🤑

Perhaps we should cancel the meal and just order through Steve - to be delivered to a suitable bus shelter.

I am acting as one of Posties domestiques so would be up for a curry if that is what the other PWNPRers go for.

You may not be late for the curry as I have a spare spot that needs filling.  HK

Would be great to have you there, so far I haven't heard from Postie.  I have one place reserved for PWNPRers (Postie) at the moment.  I will be confirming the numbers with the restaurant at 3pm on Saturday.  Need numbers by this evening, 16/02 as I will be riding down on Saturday, so limited time for on the move admin.  Restaurant is very helpful, so adding a couple wont be a problem.

No need to hide away in a bus shelter. No reason why I can't deliver to the restaurant that I am collecting from. It wouldn't be the first time (if you're counting the car park) and it wouldn't be the shortest delivery I have ever done.
Maybe just buy drinks to claim seats in the restaurant. You need to show ID for me to deliver anything age restricted (so I always reject those deliveries anyway) and I can't rightly give it to you without ID.
Of course, unless we time it carefully and we're not too unlucky, I probably won't get every delivery, unless we're doing one big delivery. This might mean a lot of confused Deliveroo couriers in the restaurant thinking that there's a problem with the Deliveroo app and phoning Rider Support and maybe thinking that they're on a Jeremy Beadle type show. The restaurant will probably be very unhappy too because Deliveroo take quite a bit of a chunk out of their profits, especially the independent restaurants. But, if I add all my takings from the Audax Southern Reunion deliveries, we might get slightly cheaper food. Or it might be a bit more expensive. It depends if the delivery and admin charges exceed the minimum of £2.90 per delivery. (More if there's a boost on. And yes, I have ordered myself food so that I could deliver it to myself and get paid more than I spent on delivery to get cheaper food but that was on Stuart, not Deliveroo)

Almost packed and finished fannying about before I set off...
