FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast - Southend on Sea June 29th - the Genteel Ride

[rb58]

Sorry, I'm out. Simon - you have mail!
Have a good one folks.

I was thinking more of a cocktail shaker given the gentility of the ride and the forecast - don't know where the ice will come from, though.

There may be THREE different types of Connemara available for tasting...

Finds expanding bottle cage.
Does experiment.
Discovers cocktail shaker fits in bottle cage.
Retires to ponder.

Sorry but myself and Mr Brown are also out too. Gutted!

I'll send email and ensure that he does the same once he's home.

I am shocked that a gentleman would even consider such a sartorial blunder.

Gentleman? Gentleman?!!

I did send an email (for me, Charlotte & a newbie Chris) but we're not on the list.

 

[clarion]

Doubly sad I'm not coming now

I did send an email (for me, Charlotte & a newbie Chris) but we're not on the list.

Ooh, I do hope you're all there.

 

[ladyjulian]

Just me and Charlotte now, but we're looking forward to it.

Just me and Charlotte now, but we're looking forward to it.

Hurrah!!

I'm undertaking some last minute cat fettling. Zev, who was getting better, has been rubbing her forehead excessively and has managed to make a bald scabby area. I'm taking her into the vets after lunch, and I'm fairly confident this will just mean something like the cone of shame for her. It shouldn't effect my attendance.

It's good to hear that The Charlotte and The Julian will be attending this evening.

Anyone heading to the start from points East interested in a genteel ride to HPC? On my own I find it all to easy to go into 'Tour de Commute' mode and I'd prefer to take things easy tonight.

well, the insect bites ('I've been to John O'Groats five times and not seen a single midge') have brought on some kind of reaction and my knees feel like they've got sand and glue in them. So it's a good job it's a short ride.....

[QUOTE 1910996, member: 1314"]I'm meeting TTCycle for Saturday lunch afters somewhere in London - hopefully in a park for a picnic. Happy for people to join us. What are post-ride plans. Beers? Where? When?[/quote]

I thought folk would be resting up for the DunRun...

The normal post ride spot for Southend is Look-Mum-No-Hands, but they don't serve beer earlier on (before 1200 at a guess). Until that point, we have to survive on cake and coffee.

I'm not stupid enough to do two night rides in a sequence, and I need to get home at some point for a visitor.
