General Shit & Ride Planning

anyonw wanna nice winter ride saturday as its my first weekend off in an age?

Saturday afternoons are good for me, few beers included too perhaps, there's some good pubs round north of Chelmsford.

Beautiful weather for rides. I'm in Colchester.

I will be back in Shenfield this week so up for going out at the weekend

Doing a loop round Brentwood/Writtle/Ongar on Saturday if anyone's interested, leaving late morning.Feel free to join anywhere on route I'm sure we can work something out, or meet us at Shenfield station

Me and amygdala are riding tomorrow, meeting in Brentwood, all welcome, or can meet you on route. PM if you want to join us

Does anyone have an acetylene torch they would be willing to lend me? I need to do a small frame repair but only have a propane torch which isn't really acurate enough...

How long is this ride? Are you still doing in regularly? I'm moving to Brentwood in a few weeks woul be up for joining if you do.

About 30 miles when we did it last week. I'll be around til the end of September, then moving to Norwich. I'll post when I'm riding. Let us know when you are too

Sounds good. I will post when I'm back. Do you guys go fixed?

Amygdala always rides fixed and I usually ride my geared bike, but I'm currently re-spraying my fixed so will be riding that a lot more soon

Sounds good. Hopefully I'm back before you leave. I'll need some group rides in the winter to motivate me in the awful weather we'll most likely have.

Anyone up for a ride this weekend? I'll have my newly re-sprayed frame built up and itching to get some use out of it before doing the Herne Bay ride next week

Hey Stu it looks like I won't be back in Brentwood until early September so we might miss each other. Do you have any routes you've been doing lately mapped? I've only been to there a handful of times.

Some planned routes will help motivate me to go out when the horrible winter weather inevitably comes.

EDIT: just seen one ride already mapped (must try harder when reading threads)

I'll be around til the 20th September but I may be busy some of the weekends before that, moving stuff to Norwich, as I expect you will be too with your move. Yeah, there are some routes mapped out posted in this thread if you check back.

Also...

Herne Bay Ride this Sunday. I'll be getting the train into London for the start if anyone wants to join me

Heads up about the Lavenham Ride this Sunday. Would be great to have some locals turning out

Does anyone want to go for a ride next Saturday or Sunday around the Brentwood/Chelmsford area?

Me and Amygdala are heading out for a ride on Saturday afternoon if anyone wants to join us? Matt?

Sounds good. When and where?

Shall we say 2pm outside Costa by Shenfield Station? Hopefully will bring 2 others with me. Might bail if it's pissing it down though!

Cool. See you then.

I am away this weekend, but if you guys are planning on doing more rides in the same area I will join you sometime.

Sorry to be lame, but I won't be able to make this anymore. Apologies.
