FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast - Southend-on-Sea 9th December

[martint235]

At the risk of being presumptuous, LMNH dog hair.

Hmmm, as I'll only be leaving the Xmas do at around midnight on the 9th, hair of the dog may be a bit early!!!

Nigel.

Oh dear - I was going to say no - but I lost my voice. Please, please Simon!

And you asked me to remind you about the jersey ...

 

[swarm_catcher]

Apologies. Keyboard typing before the brain was engaged such is the lure of the FNRttC. I knew there was something about the 9th but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Not only have I got a Xmas do to go to, I'm the organiser of said Xmas do!

Looks like I'm out. December may be a very lean month as far as long rides go.

And that stops you from coming to Southend?

Exactly! I have a Xmas to go to too. I intend to turn up in my smartest cycling gear and get merry on the thought of cycling to Southend.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Good idea, otherwise you might have to join MacB on special measures.

Force fed hub gears?

So, serious question...

Is there no place that will serve us brown or amber liquid at the time we need??

not really...........but it's a short trip back to London, and LMNH is open early.

 

[Davywalnuts]

Alas, am on a night out in Southend that night, so was meaning to start as to carry on...

I would like to point out, I do not have drinking issues...

Having just read Simon's email mentioning the architectural delights, and otherwise, of the Southend-on-Sea route, I feel that I should also mention, that according to one of my colleagues, who regularly travels this way, when crossing the Bow Flyover at night (which we generally do on this ride), Anish Kapoor's recently completed "Orbit" is clearly visible.

It's possibly not necessarily what you should be doing when cycling on a fairly busy bit of road, but I imagine that it's quite an interesting view.

very amusing. I shall be bringing the bazooka.

when crossing the Bow Flyover

I usually say: "Hello Ginger."

Could almost be the subject of a Bateman cartoon: "The man who suggested to Dellzeqq that Anish Kapoor was quite good"

 

[Flying Dodo]

Going slightly off topic, is anyone planning an unofficial FNRttC during the festive season?
I've got my parents coming to stay, which could just provide a brief window to dump them with the baby and nip out to the seaside and back.

Not by me, unfortunately, but you could try pestering DavyWalnuts to run one - he's ½ a ride down from the beginning of the year.

That's a shame Adam, was looking forward to another Not a Friday Night Ride.

Oh well, come on Davy sort it out. If you do it properly ie between Xmas and New Year, we can twin it with the booze up you're on about after we've cycled back to London!!
