Cycle Chat Christmas Party - London

[TheDoctor]

For all of us, or just you (and maybe a special companion)?

For all of us, or just you (and maybe a special companion)?

Depends on the quality of the pornographic material

 

[Sittingduck]

Good work on the recce SD. Did you test the beer for us while you were there?

Alas no - had to get back to work. In and out after a quick chat to the barmaid. No chance to reserve an area though, I could only ask.

 

[Tynan]

I've been in there as a stop on a quality pub crawl set up by a bloke that is very fussy about his pubs and his beers so you can rely on it

 

[frank9755]

There's no doubt it's a good pub. Used to be one of our locals when I worked near there, a few years ago.
Only sorry that the popular vote on dates has gone against me!

 

[slowmotion]

If there is a place round the table, I would love to attend. I'm pretty easy about dates and venues as long as the TECs get me there....

 

[redjedi]

More than welcome slowmotion.

SteveVW and his daughter and son-in-law may also be joining us. The later 2 were kind enough to drive around in the middle of the night being our support wagon for the Dunwich Dynamo, which also included a 100 mile round trip to drop a spare wheel off for the limping Tynan. Excellent work from 2 non-cyclists

 

[Tynan]

As recall the 'prospective son in law' had to do to obtain Steve's consent and the daughter had to do it to get Steve to pay for her wedding

all in a nice way

I was certainly awfully grateful to all three of them on the night, and still am, they'll get a beer offa me for sure

you'll want the tecs to get you back to the station surely

 

[redjedi]

Hopefully we'll all need TECs by the end

 

[redjedi]

Perhaps he's holding a table for us

Edit: Friday 26th Nov removed from poll.

22 for the 10th and a possible 5 more in Stevevw + family, slowmotion anad handbag, so it's taken a strong lead.

On behalf of the 3rd, I concede defeat. We ran a strong campaign, but it was always going to be difficult. But we'll be back next year, better organised and prepared...etc...

Have a good time everyone!

 

[redjedi]

Right with just over 2 weeks till the favoured date of the 10th I have closed the poll.

Thank you to all that voted and sorry if you can't make it on the 10th December, but it was a clear winner.

So mark it in your diaries, start earning brownie points with the other halves and explain to the beloved 2 wheelers that you will be going out on a Friday night but they're not coming*.



Friday 10th December
Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, Fleet Street
6pm till late (early starters are welcome)

I'll pm my number closer to the time in case any of the new faces don't recognise anyone, so if you're coming but didn't vote, put a post up so I can get your name.


*but if you wish to come by bike and want somewhere safe to leave it. Mistral has kindly offered to let you use his office's secure parking. Drop him a PM for more details.

 

[Davywalnuts]

Whoop!! Well done Luke and the reccie'ers!

The question is, now, will we reckognise each other without our bikes, lycra, helmets, shades, knee appendages and in some cases, our hipflasks?

 

[Tynan]

I'm thinking of wearing a CC ss top to add a velo atmosphere so you can congregate on me

Once we know where in the labyrinth to meet

And I shall most defo be arriving on Boris bike, or at least to the nearest dock

Well done for organising Jedi
