FNRttC FNRttC 2nd October to Southend-on-Sea 2009

[ChrisKH]

I'm counting on you Andy to lead me on a mouseketeer adventure

i recently re read the reports from our manningtree ride and it did make me laugh

You might have been laughing (well topcat and arallsop were somewhat hysterical as I recall, but what's new? ) but all I can remember is needing a loo.

Don't give the answer away Chris - we nearly had another recruit!

Andy, I loved relaxing in the sun with "a beer or ten" at Whitstable. Southend return was rubbish last time because of Chris pointing us in the wrong direction, Sig getting us lost in Concreteville - wherever that horrid one-way town was...and MacB complaining about the proximity of Volvo lorries as we 'pootled' along the A12 (en route to MacB's maiden 100 miles )
Couple that with Davysixtyfivecmthighsrelaxedwalnut's craving for things beginning with Mac and his quest for a pee location, I too am strolling down memory lane...Oh, and Davy ate all Sig's cherry cake too I remember. Smooth operator him!

So, has anyone investigated the Southend boozers, then?

Not a chance this time with me in attendance

Right! One adventure coming up. Worryingly, my navigation seems to have got a lot better of late. Time for an equal and opposite reaction, I guess.

I had the chance to pick back through those reports recently too. Many a smile brought to my face. Ahhh. We'll always have Tollesbury

I dont think I should drink on a social ride again... it all goes wrong!

My recollection of local news about pubs is that people tend to die in them. In a club next to The Rose one of its drunken customers whom the bouncers forcibly ejected went headfirst into the pavement and died.

The Orange Tree cafe up the road is infamous as well as the owners were involved in a murder. So no complaining about the breakfast.

Blimey. I have been known to get a bit snooty about the standard of cafe sausages. I'll keep my mouth shut.

I've got computer problems (it's dead). I'd be really grateful for e-mails from ChrisKH, Stevevw, Davy S, Ianrauk, Matt and User3143,to fnrttc@yahoo.co.uk

Bugger. You're badly needed in P&L today, as well. There's been a veritable DMB explosion.

That is some list...!

The bike held up after the test - so I will see you all on Friday looking froward to it- hope it is dry -fingers crossed.

Haven't got my ticket booked yet but will keep my options open (most likely will want to snooze on the train)

The 'landlord' of that pub next door to the Rose is one surly 'long haul trucker' (cyclist's rhyming slang) - do you remember the palaver about getting the delivery van in last time?

Answering theclaud: no, but considering investigating...too tired to ride at the moment.
