FNRttC Southend Ride Friday 23rd March 2018

[rb58]

I'm already planning my SMRbtH

You just need to make sure the FNR destination is at the top of Market Hill, not at the bottom so you don't have to ride up it.....

 

[Nick Saddlesore]

If we get to Maldon early I'll offer a few loops up Market Hill.

Bum. I'm busy that weekend. But I've entered all the others into my diary so I will get to go on a few this year.

Shout out for the new Friday's website, which I don't think has been mentioned on CC https://fridaynightride.wixsite.com/fnrttc

Maldon looks interesting - that's a new (to me at least) destination. I'm already planning my SMRbtH

Ooh, New! Shiny! website. Click More. Click The Basics. The Magenta Mercian is mine. I'd hazard a guess that the Titanium bike next to it is @User10571 's and the Kaffenback is Tim The Rocket Scientist's (the huge panniers containing all the tools you'll ever need and more are a clue).

Am I right?

 

[Tim Hall]

Do you recognise the venue, complete with NO BIKES signs? (I don't, btw but that's no surprise as I'm terribly unobservant)

Well Watson, on the door in the background it says "Mermaid Villas". Google says there is (are?) Mermaid Villas in Whitstable, but I don't recall them. I'm pretty sure every time I've parked in Whitstable it's been either under the Beach Cafe or attached to the sea wall. It's turning into a two pipe problem.

I think you are. I'd suggest you even took the picture!

Blimey! So I did! Yes, it is Whitstable.

You're right about the titanium bike, not so right about the Planet X - unless I'm mistaken TimO's one is / was coffe coloured. Also unconvinced that this is Whitstable - I don't think I've ever seen such bike unfriendly railings in Whitstable....

I just tried to pay my subs but I see it's still necessary to create a Paypal account in order to pay. Ho hum, it will have to be a good old £2 coin again.

Can you pay electronically if we let you know the account details?

Deffo Whitstable. Leastways it's in my album entitled FNRTTC Whitstable from June 2013 (with an addition allegedly from 2011 for some reason). Here's a link.

Tim's Red is red.
But his Kaffenback is coffee coloured.

 

[StuAff]

Adrian's Kaffenback I think....

And isn't RED some kind of poncey go faster kind of a bike, rather than a workhorse?

Hmmmmmm ....... not convinced - I do remember our making a deliberate decision tol flagrantly disregard the No Bikes signs - just not sure it was Whitstable.
Also the dragon weathervane. Not convinced that's whizzy bell.
Brighton?
Bognor?

You are correct - Red is a Planet X carbon road bike.
