CANCELLED: Late Late delayed Christmas Night Ride to Bognor 29/01/10

[TimO]

I was assuming an HPC start, since we're otherwise broadly sticking to a tried and tested formula.

 

[Flying Dodo]

Yup, HPC at midnight. Christmas outfits are optional, although I'm trying to go for a red theme this year, but I've got a feeling my new red jacket won't have arrived by next weekend.

Revised rollcall.

[iLB]

will give this one serious consideration once i get back down south on tuesday

 

[Flying Dodo]

That'll be good!

Everything's all set. Breakfast will be at the Lobster Pot Cafe in Felpham. This isn't the Boat House cafe used on the previous visit to Bognor, as that's shut over winter. However, the Lobster Pot is only about 100m further along. If anyone would want a vegetarian option for breakfast, please let me know.

Seeing as it's Christmas, I had been trying to negotiate for Santa to pay a visit but I understand he's tied up in Elf & Safety negotiations with the unions. Besides, I'm sure some of you lot have been too naughty this year to warrant any presents. However, as mentioned above, there will be a Christmas theme to the ride, so feel free to dress up.

 

[MacB]

yeah, I'll add some festive padding under my jersey

Hello Adam I'm coming on this ride and would like a vegetarian option for my petit dejeuner SVP.
Come on you lot - sign up now - the informality is refreshing, nay polar!


Does one bring a hip flask (mine's from Rapha - it's really hip) or just carry 'the bottle' in a small rucksack?

 

[rich p]

I may be up for this one if that's acceptable?

I'm going to a party in Deal the night after, and I simply must sparkle. Sorry.

I suppose it was a question of 'Deal or No Deal' The first Noel.

Does dell's non-appearance make him a Noel Coward?
