I'm going to be coming by train and aiming for 8:15-8:30 at the Woolpack, unless I can get away earlier, in which I'll be aiming for 7:30-8:00 ish at the Woolpack.

What are other folks doing?

What time will you all be descending upon Chelmo then?

8:30ish?

Just trying to consider how we ensure a correct mix of drinking and food

20:00 or so would be a good one, so perhaps an hour or so of booze followed by a quick wobble over the road to Baddow Road, is 21:30 - 22:00 too late for food?

I'm happy to leave Witham at 7pm. Not sure how that works for others.

I am not out tonight as it's school nativity.............oh joy☹️️

jiberjaber · « **Reply #10180 on:** 07 December, 2016, 05:57:09 pm »

I'll make my way over for around 20:00(ish) and see who's there!

Hope you've been swatting up on fixed gears Steve!

(can you knock on hot black's door and drag him out too

)

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #10181 on:** 07 December, 2016, 06:45:09 pm »

Of course we could text Hot Black if he had a phone

Oaky · « **Reply #10182 on:** 07 December, 2016, 08:14:54 pm »

I'm in the Woolie.

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #10183 on:** 12 December, 2016, 07:48:47 am »

Where to this Wednesday? Perhaps we pick a venue depending on who is coming out to play.

Tomsk · « **Reply #10184 on:** 12 December, 2016, 08:22:40 am »

I'm on for this Wednesday

Three Elms, Chignall St James? Just 'cos the log fire there appeals to me this misty morning...and they might do mulled wine - having got addicted at the Dunmow Live Nativity yesterday.

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #10185 on:** 12 December, 2016, 08:42:39 am »

3 Elms works. I could get the train home again

jiberjaber · « **Reply #10186 on:** 12 December, 2016, 08:54:00 am »

3 Elms - sounds like it could be a good first single speed outing! (plus it's almost WAG friendly too!)

Assuming we do go to The Three Elms my encyclopedia of routes offers the Witham Peloton THIS GEM which apparently we enjoyed on the 13th May last year.

As I seem to not be able to get out of the office at a decent time recently I think I might take my bike in on Wednesday then get off at Ingatestone or Chelmsford on the way home and ride to meet you all there....

Hi All

I've found my way onto the forum, been approved and finally worked out what buttons to press (don't tell anyone I work in IT

).

I/We may join you on Wednesday, possible at the pub or if the Witham peleton are coming up North Hill I'll join you further down the Ridge as I live where Little Baddow becomes Danbury.

Cheers

Jan

Welcome

Looking forward to seeing some new faces on Wednesday

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #10193 on:** 13 December, 2016, 05:57:08 am »

Welcome Jan! We will definitely be coming up TMNH now as it would be great to meet you. If the Witham peloton sets off at 7:30 we should be on the hill between 8 and 8:30pm.

Gosh! Shame we haven't got a fatted calf

We will have to make do with pickled eggs.

A question for the committee to consider ...

Do we need festive tunz?

tedshred · « **Reply #10196 on:** 13 December, 2016, 11:03:50 am »

I might be out subject to how well I behave at today's lunch and subject to my test ride of Guilliamo.

Should I take that as a "Yes please!"?
