Edit: But - anyone up for a western venue?

Much as I fancy a beer and a catch up with you all, -5 and just over Covid doesn’t sound sensible. Hope to see you Saturday though for the delights of a seaside excursion and a balmy 7c.

Going soft in old age $:-\$

Have you always been in old age then?

Tempted, but I'm going to be sensible. Will see most people on Saturday.

I’m going to be sensible and stay home tonight too…

Ok, sanity prevails! See you all on Saturday.

Oh no! Just done a quick Google and it says Wally (Hicks) had been the landlord since 1980.

Oh noes

We'll have to organise some sort of MEMWNS tribute I think.....

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #19832 on:** 17 January, 2024, 06:28:46 pm »

Good idea!

Tomsk · « **Reply #19833 on:** 22 January, 2024, 07:11:35 pm »

Anyone out on Wednesday? Forecast is looking like clear(ish) skies, a day short of the full moon and not too windy or cold. I might actually be well enough to ride by then!

JellyLegs · « **Reply #19834 on:** 22 January, 2024, 07:31:44 pm »

I #might# have a pass to be a-wheel this week and next day is looking to be a work from home day at the moment. Somewhere west or central might work for me.

GavinC · « **Reply #19835 on:** 23 January, 2024, 09:51:52 am »

MrsC is working a night shift tomorrow, so I won’t be out unfortunately.

jiberjaber · « **Reply #19836 on:** 23 January, 2024, 01:47:56 pm »

I'm 50/50 but need some exercise - so may be tempted with a walk to 'dev but I have a very long day the following day, so the wise choice would be to not go out for beers....

Things haven’t gone to plan today. Tomorrow is now looking very busy and long. I’m unlikely to be out.

CBA strikes Mid-Essex again?

Yes, so it seems. I wonder if a change of strategy is required? Maybe an Elders plus invited guests meeting?

jiberjaber · « **Reply #19840 on:** 23 January, 2024, 09:33:25 pm »

I'm hoping it all picks up when we start to see the move towards lighter nights and less inclement weather.

Tomsk · « **Reply #19841 on:** 25 January, 2024, 07:46:23 am »

Went out for 20 mile spin last night anyway, to enjoy the moonlight and mackerel clouds.

Next week we have a date at the Spiritual Home don't forget!

I'm planning on dusting off J.ACME and rolling around the Knights Templar route check this Saturday. I should have recovered sufficiently for a return visit to the SH by Wednesday.

~~We may be joining you with a view to tenanting a certain control on the day.~~
Scrub that for me at least if you meant this Saturday 'cos I'm away.

huggy · « **Reply #19844 on:** 25 January, 2024, 09:40:57 pm »

I did mean this coming Saturday.
Snotty wants to join me, anyone else is welcome too to check the roads are still there. Planning on leaving Witham at 9:30. If more than me & Snotty there will be a 'spoons breakie.
Lunchtime-ish stamping duties at the SH on the 10th Feb would be appreciated.

BFC · « **Reply #19845 on:** 26 January, 2024, 12:10:06 pm »

Planning to ride this Saturday, happy to meet up at the 'spoons or any other convenient location.

huggy · « **Reply #19846 on:** 26 January, 2024, 12:28:14 pm »

Okay, there will be a 'spoons breakie on offer to KTC route checkers in the morning. I will probably be there between 8 and 8:30 with an intended departure time of 9:30.
No upper speed records will be broken, quite possibly a lower speed record will be.

Toby's Dad · « **Reply #19847 on:** 30 January, 2024, 10:37:19 pm »

If anyone is going to the SH tomorrow night, what time are you arriving? I was aiming to get there for 8.

jiberjaber · « **Reply #19848 on:** 31 January, 2024, 09:02:08 am »

The rear tyre on the J.ack is a write off, so I'll be on fixed, aiming for an 8pm arrival I think...

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #19849 on:** 31 January, 2024, 09:17:48 am »

I can’t make this evening I’m afraid. However…

Be careful at the junction of Littley Green Road and Church Lane. Tractors have been exiting the adjacent field and spread extremely slippery mud on the road. I came off on Monday afternoon returning from The Compasses. And a lady was in the process of being carted off by a chap in a car at the same time. She’d crashed at speed, badly injured her shoulder.
