Get the excuses in now folks!

I'm happy to make a 12-hour journey costing £70 but not if I turn up to find it's been cancelled due to a few (billion) snowflakes!

 

[tdr1nka]

I hear ya Dayvo.

So far the forecast for Saturday is dry but we are being told to expect more snow on Thursday pm thru to Friday day. It's going to be down to the wire on this one.

 

[Dayvo]

I think I'll have to blow you out!

Sorry!

But I'll be online tomorrow!

What, you mean I spruced up my neglected hybrid and trued the wheels, for NOTHING?!!


The offer's always there Davyo.

So far the forcasts look ok..it won't be tropical but it shouldn't snow...but if it does snow on Friday night I will re schedule the ride like I said. I can't say more than that.

Thanks, Chris, I appreciate that!

I'll check the weather forecast tomorrow before making my 'final' decision. Unfortunately I'm reliant on too many factors, and if one is doubtful, it throws everything else into disarray!

Hopefully there'll be other chances in the nearish future!

It may be a cunning excuse to avoid 28 random CycleChatters, of course!

Round here (Colchester) it's been two beautiful cycling days and I hope that it's the same Friday/Saturday in Billericay; if so it'll be a real treat to cycle in company! Hope you can make it Dayvo, but understandable if not.

BBC no longer forecasting snow for Billericay on Friday, just light rain, and Saturday has a Big Smiley Sun

It saves me buying a BIG round! I bought the Scottish CCers a drink in September, but there were only about five of them!

 

[Auntie Helen]

It's not as bad as you think, I'm a cheap date as I don't drink alcohol and tend to only have tap water in pubs. So it's only a round for 27 now...

L O all!

Is the ride definitely on?

I was at the North Pole in Brentwood until yesterday and the conditions were atrocious!

I'm currently in Exeter (and took possession of my lovely CC gear) and was planning on heading back on Friday. BUT if the weather looks dodgy, then I don't think I'll come along.

I'm flying to Spain next Tuesday and was only going to be in Brentwood Friday evening before returning again after the ride; the weather has fukked everything up! And I don't have regular access to the internet for details just to compound problems!

I'll be back on line tomorrow for an update!

"Exeter stage left, pursued by a boab..."
Am I on an ignore list or something?
I'm total pi$$ artist too. Tea as well. Dayvo - don't be a wimp.
