Mid-Essex and the Rest of the World Epiphany - 2023 edition

[jiberjaber]

Are you suggesting I over promise and under deliver?  If so, you clearly haven't paying attention over many years, I always under promise and over deliver 

Awesome!

You my friend are clearly Super Stoked.  Good to see!

I'm juced to announce here our rough itinerary for the day...

Arrive 'spoons Witham sometime after it opens, avail yourself of food and drink.
Depart 'spoons 10AM
Arrive 11s at a time just after 11 - there will be a choice of location, either a Brewery or Cafe... I've not bothered checking them out, it'll be awesome I'm sure.
Depart there sometime just around 12
There's some gravel along this route, there will be a divert option that you can take to arrive at lunch - I am hoping to check it out on 30mm slicks and fixed tomorrow...
Arrive The Viper between 12:30 and 13:00 for a couple of hours...
Departing The Viper sometime before 15:00 we have an hour and half of riding to get to the evening destination of The Spiritual Home.

I hope you are as amped as me to get on your bike and wobble around next Saturday 

[Oscar's dad]

Stoked!!!

[Andy C33]

Hope to be out for the full day.

Super stoked to let you know I checked out the COR today, it's fine on fixed with One-Pro tyres

So we've got COR, Deer, Alpacas, Beer and perhaps coffee too.... Should be grand.

There's an alternative route without the 2km gravel track if needed.

[Tomsk]

If anyone who missed the PBP Pubinar last year is interested, I can bring along a small selection of PBP-related stuff. (Limited space due to lugging trophies, medals, camping gear - and to judge by the long-range forecast, including at least two sleeping bags!)

With a bit of effort I can make it to this now as I will be in the Neighborhood (relatively speaking.) So hopefully it's not too late to attend the whole day.

You lot need to work on your sales speak.  I’ve worked with people that would put you to shame.

Feel free to help us out, I'm all out of vocab at the moment

Jibbers was our acting captain on the Dutch trip and the route was superb, so have faith. 😊

Don't, don't, don't, don't believe the hype.

Yes dear, deer!

The Musky Reindeer Pelt of Destiny is ready to ride come Saturday!

No hype, just cold hard facts!  We have 18 for lunch already and a bunch more at The Spiritual Home in the evening.  If nothing else, Epiphany 2023 is going to be well attended!

[Owen]

Are many attending the evening session at the Spiritual Home with other half's ?

Lucy is supposed to be coming with me but if she likely to be the only one she will probably give it a miss.

WAGs are most welcome and Lucy will be well looked after!

I'm not sure that will be entirely reassuring to Lucy to know that OD will look after her.....Owen, other WAGs will be in attendance too 

[Owen]

Thanks OD & Huggy.

I have a copy of the 2023 ACP presentation brochure if anyone wants me to bring it along.

Fire lighter?

[tedshred]

An accompaniment to your orange trowel.

I am sure our French Ride participants will be extremely interested in the brochure so don't use it until they have finished with it.

Won't need any trowels as I am The Official Holder of the Key

I think Lucy needs to be introduced to Svetlana and we let the natural progression on life long friendship blossom from there
