FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast 21st March - Burnham-on-Crouch via Junction 31

[Flying Dodo]

Spiffy report Agent H. One small point of clarification: For the halfway stop do we bring our own coffee, or our own staff? I'm sure both options are open to the majoirity, but fitting in with the others is often so important.

I could always bring the trailer. Plenty of room for a butler and at least one other member of staff.

I have trained, but have never practised, as a barrista.

If I say that out loud and quickly some people are impressed. Then I have to explain about the -a vs the -er. It's my accent.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

You have an accent?

Certainly. I studiously replaced the one I had until age five with one which fitted in with the locals so the beatings stopped.

Moto have assured me that (the doublechinned midget) George Clooney will be serving coffee from a Nespresso machine!

The hill is a monster.

Well, that's the fixed wheel back in the shed then....

 

[MisterStan]

Are we talking Bury Hill (Felpham ride) territory?

Not like you to not throw down the gauntlet, as it were
I was never sure I'd be available to do this ride, but having had that hill point at me and laugh (It did, I tell you) I'm getting kinda incensed to go back....

 

[ianrauk]

Will everyone please stop worrying about a hill.

 

[MisterStan]

Will everyone please stop worrying about a hill.

I live in the Fens!

 

[MisterStan]

I suspect that this one is on a par with your hills.

In that case, I shall be King of the Mountains....

 

[ianrauk]

I wasn't.

Quiet!

Good morning
This is the fourth epistle to the BunhamBoyzandGirlz. The first three are below…….

There’s been some discussion about hills. Please allow me to explain. There is a hill. I just didn’t know it was there. Whoops! But………..it’s no Ditchling Beacon or Bury Hill. It just goes on for a while. And the view is fab. If the weather is clear the view over the western portion of Essex will be a doozy. A patchwork quilt of lights. Better than the view over Los Angeles from the Hollywood Hills. You’ll thank me. Eventually. And the speed we pick up on the descent will carry us through a sizeable portion of Basildon. Which reminds me. Watch this.

and yes I know that Brasilia and Basildon are different places, but only just.

So…….this weekend, check out your bike. Think about what you’re going to wear. And dream of Burnham Bangers.

Hill singular? Luxury.

Hill singular? Luxury.

Is it odd that I like hills?
