Interim CC ride - Bikes & Boats Tendring (NE Essex)

[Sittingduck]

Could well be up for this one. I have the preceeding week off work and was planning some type of cycling trip. Might take the bike up to my folks in Solihull on the train & ride round the countryside for a few days (going back to the house of an evening of course). Then cycle across the country, stopping overnight on Thursday - perhaps at Cambridge. Then down to Manningtree on the Friday.

Would mean doing the ride on my hybrid laden with panniers though! Suppose I would be used to that if I do the things described in the previous paragraph.

Hmmm, will have to have a little think about it...

Sittingduck, if you wanted to dump your panniers at our place before the ride (and collect them afterwards) that could be arranged. We're 20 minutes' ride from Manningtree station.

 

[Sittingduck]

Thanks for the kind offer AH
I'll have a bit of a think about my plan and let you know in advance!

Thanks,
SD

Solihull! You could ride that from Londres SiD!!!!!!!!!!(Copyright K. Oates)

Yeah - have thought about it Teef! Was thinking about two 60 mile days with a overnight stop in Buckingham. Wouldn't want to overdo it though

Well done for considering it my friend.
Part ...getting your masterplan of cycling into operation. Go for it - you can do that!

 

[Sittingduck]

Well, if nothing else it might boost my lame Cyclogs mileage for the month of July. What with the Dynamo on the first weekend too. Food for thought...

A mere snack in the Cyclogs of life SiD...just remember the formula - divide miles into £s spent and the Ribble will be a throwaway!

 

[Sittingduck]

Yeah know what you mean... I'm already considering getting my next bike - fixed?

You'l be at about 1500 posts before you take the landmark decision to convert.




From Sittingduck to Movingduck! And. If the activity goes into an expotential phase...'****aduck' springs to mind.

Good on you!

Just had a conversation with Wowbagger and it seems that this ride may also turn into the WARTY for July (although that's not yet confirmed). Wowbagger commented that his plan for the July WARTY (on that date) was to visit the nudist beach on Jaywick (near Clacton)... so perhaps we could do that too

For those not in the know, the WARTY is a YACF group ride (like these rides) that happens monthly; lots of us CCers go on the WARTIES so once again the lines between the fora are blurring. The only obvious difference between our rides and the WARTY is that on the WARTY we seem to stop more often for food and, usually, a pint. I shall try to strike a happy medium ground if this does also become the WARTY.

Time for me to adjust my shorts in public then. Quite legally.

Make sure your nuts are tight on the saddle Chris, and all your moving parts are sufficiently oiled.
