FNRttC PROVISIONAL 2012 dates

Kat - that's a fair offer, and one which you may yet come to regret.

Stuart - greasy spoon on the seafront sounds good to me. Send me the name and I'll do my best to check it out.

I've e-mailed the Moonriders to ask them if they're concerned by a possible overlap.

Southend going to 5th April

This is good timing- the day before my birthday so I can cycle home and hopefully lay to rest the ghosts of being colder than I've ever been before in my life I suspect I might be a fine weather FRNttCer (or at least an above freezing one).....

 

[mmmmartin]

but we were here first......the Moonriders can surely take second place?

I've not got a problem with sharing the road with them - I would have thought that they might find it a bit of a bother (apparently the routes are similar, which I'm sure is co-incidental). The only worry would be if their riders, not knowing the way, were inadvertantly gathered in to our ride.

Would you then be in a position to ask for a share of the fee for waymarking services?

I doubt they've got the spare cash. The price of entry has declined to a bargain basement £59.

 

[mmmmartin]

I was only looking for the price of a case of prosecco

I was looking for a pint of Shepherd Neame but then again I was always a bit of a lowlife.......

Big Wheel Cafe, at Clarence Pier (well, just round the corner from it), phone number 02392821162.


Slightly more salubrious, but doesn't have a sea view: Manna on the High Street (opposite the Cathedral, no less). Phone 02392862011. Gets somewhat mixed reviews though.

 

[SW19cam]

Looks like a good selection of rides. Hope to be able to join you on at least a couple of them!

I've yet to regret offering hospitality to random cyclists, and I do seem to be making a bit of a habit of it! Whilst I believe the FNRttCers are capable of very many things, I'd be more than a little surprised if making me do so was one of them.

Well, the Moonriders would like us to change the date of the Genteel Ride. Any thoughts?

 

[frank9755]

Given you've been running it on this night for x years, I would decline that request.

Also, quite a few of us have enjoyed the chance to combine it Dunwich.

 

[StuAff]

I agree. Let them move their overpriced junket.

HA!

 

[StuAff]

They're probably concerned that their riders will get confused by the highly unusual presence of other cyclists on the road (lol), or more likely realise what a rip-off they signed up for.

Alternatively, tell them to Foxtrot Oscar.

Or..'On yer bike'!
