I'm not away in some glamorous Up North location and Real Life TM permitting I should be available to ride on Wednesday evening. Dakota has a slight problem I need to discuss with BFC but BJ and Fred in touring mode are both on the launch pad.
Situations like this remind me how little my ‘skills’ count in the real world.
What's the plan?

OD - there's some good COR that works from the Hospital straight in to Broads Green, I rode it last week and it was good.

The Walnut Tree is within my limited range, so I should be out this week. If anyone has a "fixie" that BFC isn't repairing, then I'd love to see it and voice my appreciation of both bike and rider.

Yep - that's pretty much it. I'd give Sandford and Arbour Roads a swirve though and just continue ahead as you come out of the subway on Chelmer Road around on the cyclepaths to the Bunny Walk. Look out for the painting on the bunnywalk as you come under the flyover. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39543136
