2011-05-14 - The Seafood Ride

Blaaahdy 'ell. What's with this forum and rides?

OK - there are quite a few people who've PMd saying they can't make either the bank holiday weekend or the 7th/8th because they're already committed to other forum rides.

So I propose the following weekend - specifically Saturday 14th May.

Speak now or forever hold your peace.

that date works for me! I'm in. Let me find that list.... Or should there be a new one?
What times in/out were you thinking?

sounds good. lets get this thing going.

im sorking taht saturday :( but i have sunday off :/

I'm working that saturday, but i have sunday off.

Say what?

Away then but all enjoy the ride i'll hopefully take part in any rerun.

Can shift to Sunday?

I think what's needed more than anything is someone organising this who is less likely to fence sit and just get on and name a date - something I've consummately failed to do :)

I'm in for this.... either date is fine, but would prefer to ride the whole way.

EDIT: I've got a route and happy to lead if anyone else is wanting to go all the way, and then meet the rest of the group at Kelvedon/Chelmsford/Mersea Island. Depart 8am, Arrive 2pm sort of thing.

.

Saturday 14th is great, please stick with that.
I'm up for riding from Kelvedon or Witham.

+1 for the 14th please

*Could probably be persuaded to ride the whole way (unless it's just Braker - as he'll just give me "the look" on Liverpool St and leave me eating gravel spray... ;))

The 14th it is then. Woo hoo. Thanks for no 7 CYOA...Hopefully see you before the seafood quest.

potentially in, don't know if I'll be working.

Pre-emptive strike :) See you soon, sir.

If I'm off from work - I'm in! will confirm that.

BOOM! He's back with a vengeance. Cheers m'dear.

Sweet! is there a departure/train time suggested? Trains from liverpool street run half hourly on the hour. Currently can get a "super-off-peak-day-return-group-save" for four people for 35 quid.

Sounds good. I'd planned to look into this (times and what not) and post over this weekend so shall check out the super saver thingy and get one (or a couple unless others want to act as group leadery sorts.) Also will want to firm up a route so shall get in touch with dear braker.

14th.

Count me in...

...do they do scampi?

They don't do this:

But they do this:

sounds (and looks) ace.. i'm not sure yet if i'm free that weekend but i'll try to make it... did you decide on riding the whole distance or taking the train?

....wait, is anyone invited/ can i come?

'Course you can :)

More the merrier.

At this stage I reckon a few are going to cycle the whole way with the majority training it - I'll get back with train times/prices etc either tonight or tomorrow.
