West Beers : Every Thursday @ The Lamb Brewery, W4 4PH

Looks like next week, again, then?

Looking like! My wife is working crazy hours so I'm on dog & kid duty...

Sounds familiar.

Yes that would work

Work/life balance is way off-kilter at the moment...

This week?

Quite possibly. I'll let you know.

TK Maxx alert.
It has been a previous topic of conversation at Wests.
Popped into the TK M in Ealing last Friday, after being caught out by the rain.
(Mate who runs a caff in Greenford, where I took shelter, took pity on me,
and cooked up my normal beans/mushroom/dry brown toast without me even asking).

TK M Ealing had some outdoor stuff beyond their normal OK standard/level.

Found an oversized (XXL), Berghaus Ridgemaster jacket.
Admittedly not as long as my old (simple mid-80's) cagoule, (that Mrs. m killed
by putting through the washing machine. The internal seam taping came off,
as did blisters of whatever the water repellency layer was).
It has a simple mesh inner layer,
and was perfect on two 2.5 mile/45 minute snowy/windy/sub zero walks across the golf course this weekend.
Realise it is not a 'cycling' jacket, but is a 'get-you-home' unsoaked jacket.

Just under half (retail) price at £100.

Yes quite likely. On leave this week and if we're in town we'll come to beers

Are we on for tomorrow, then?

Yup, in tonight. Around 7, I think. Lion or Eagle?

(If the Eagle is becoming the default, we should have the thread title changed.)

I'll probably be closer to 19.30, (mespilus jr.'s Parent's Evening. We have booked appointments from 17.00 until 17.40 but these things always run late).
Red Lion/Eagle: I have no firm preference.
Eagle was more deserted earlier in the year.
Red Lion better food.

Let's just say Eagle for now?

On dog & kid duty again as wife is working. Might be able to head back out if she's not home too late...

Hope you manage to get away, Tim!

In other news, I've just managed to get a puncture. I'll only be able to make it around 8. Sorry.

I'm on my way too

Sorry all, I've just spotted that my saddle's broken and I can't find my spare.

If I hadn't had the puncture, I would have ridden over on the broken saddle, too--had been wondering what was feeling funny.

Apologies for tonight.

I'm on my way.

I'm by the fireplace
@Sifta would probably at home here too

Tonight?

Heading off the the land of my fathers tonight so won't be able to make it...

Tomorrow?

Weather looks amenable.

Love your tenacity. Keep it up. We ( @moorhen and i ) maybe up for a pint tomorrow. Depends how knackered I get at work riding the Minivelo at crazy low GI

Hi, I may be around later on, if there are people there

@skydancer
Seems like a pleasant evening for a bike ride after the weeks worth of rainy days.
