2010-05-22 Sat 8am - Southend Seaside Jaunt (Because Long Rides are Fun)

internet bullying at it's finest.

And ya can't beat a bit of bully.

"ooh look what you could have won, a speedboat"

Last year Stix's local knowhow let us avoid the horrible Southend traffic, a bit, by detouring through Sutton village and down through Southchurch to the front. A great improvment as the final mile or two of the original route is a bit frantic.

Attatched is the amended route, I hope Stix will confirm i have it right before you all print it off.

Hey Skully yep all looks fine but one thing I am sure we go left into watery lane if we are cutting through Battlesbridge way where we wnet over the little bridge room for one car then almost immediately left ... ah it will all be fine I remember the route no worries !
I am soo looking forward to this even more of an epic ride if Ed and I make it on the tandem !

Yep, I think the Crib sheet is right at the Battlebridge bit.

So I got the Sutton > Southchurch Ave bit about right?

"ooh look what you could have won, a speedboat"

I <3 the 1980's TV shite programme knowledge fail ...

Here's what you COULD have won was always ALWAYS a car.

Here's what they actually won was always a boat.

FACT.

They had both backstage, that's why they always were seen wheeling them into shot when the screen lifted. They had a deal with a boat seller, but couldn't afford to give the cars away, they were just borrowed.

^ Trudat.
And the recipients of the boat always lived in the most centralized, land-locked bit of the UK.

Yeah! Ashby-de-la-Zouch ftboatwin!

Yep, I think the Crib sheet is right at the Battlebridge bit.

Yep all good !

kitchens were also offered as well?

what was the deal with cruises:kitchens win:lose?

Ha! you got me. I think those prizes were offered in the heady early days, back when the Bully animations looked like Rhubarb & Custard and only you midlands people actually got to watch it.

I'm more of a C-Record era man than NR, get me blud.

If nhatt can get the new geared surly finished by Friday I am definitely there - not up to doing this on fixed I'm afraid. I'm just waiting for some bars and pedals to turn up, I will know for sure whether I can make it on Thursday.
fingers crossed - I can't wait to take the new build out!

This is looking like a brilliant outing, can't wait!

I'm definately coming but my name won't go on the list so dont forget me on Saturday!

this is looking like it is gonna be a corker! i might even gear up for this one too! blushes

how much do you reckon the train back will cost?

for 4 of us I paid £24 something from Liverpool St. to Southend Victoria, return.
