Thank you to DL for his report.
The MEMWNS ride headed out to the other Compasses last night. When I arrived Tippers, Tomsk, Sister Carol and Jiberjaber were already there, having all ridden solo. Tippers had made his first outdoor foray on fixed wheel but, disappointingly, didn't seem to have any comedic moments to report.
The Witham peloton of the Hustler, DL, BFC and GavinSSN trundled in a fair bit later, having slavishly followed one of their Garmin routes. DL had suffered multiple visitations and was left in the beer garden to sort himself out. Fortunately he has his own floodlights. They reported that they had met local indoor cycling warrior OD at the roundabout astride Penelope. OD, described by the peloton as a mess of sweat and bile, had come to taunt them from his Cath Kidston saddle before going home for his tea. How the mighty fall.
We sampled Billericay Mild, Wily Ol Fox, Yakima Gold and Wibbler's apprentice. Yakima Gold was the Quaffers' Choice. Sadly not even Tomsk could be persuaded into the Wibbler's Wobbly Mouse at 12%
In an alarming turn of events, the deputy treasurer announced that the curry fund now stood at exactly nil. Our compliance officer, Tippers, is undertaking an urgent audit of the Kiitty Kitty.
Much forward planning took place, stretching as far as LEL 2017. DL is considering it as a new target for his audax debut. We also had the Hustler uncharacteristically breaking cover in announcing his bid for RRTY. However most of the planning was reserved for the BCM. It looks like I will have Tomsk,Tippers, Sister Carol, Huggy, Bobb and Raymond for company. In a late development, Tomsk may also have persuaded Jiber to join the fun. We await Tomsk's mid-Essex BCM thread for more planning.
With 9 of us out and a nice pub it was another successful night all round.
