Southend 15 August

[Aperitif]

Ask topcat to set you up a freebie 'poste restante' account (as he's in the trade etc...) and mail it to a nearby Post Office - ready for collection at about feeding time en route!

Yeh - you're mean Dave...fancy letting your bro' suffer on that 17% monster - you could have lent me him your Litespeed!

 

[Auntie Helen]

Do we have a list of attendees?

 

[MacB]

+1

will you be happy if I bring cake MacB?
I just have to work out how to transport it if i'm on the other bike

'smooth mode' - as long as you bring your gorgeous self that's all that matters - 'end smooth mode' - cake would be nice but don't mess up the lines of the new beastie just to feed porkers like me!

Just a thought folks, but I'll be getting train up to London, probably buy a return ticket. On arriving back in town from Southend it would seem churlish to head straight to a station and home. Far more appealing would be a few beers then trundle onto a later train. I need to get train from Waterloo, Victoria, Clapham Junction, or any stop that's on the Farnborough line. Anyone else fancy pencilling in an impromptu mini drinkie poos???

Would love to but am off out that night for women and beer and on a tight schedule too so would have to love you and leave you.... as much as the beer would be talking to me from where ever you start drinking...

Welcome to the forum Alina.

There's a coffee shop just along from the tower we can meet there at 9, it's over the road about 100 yards towards monument.

There's road works in Stanford le hope but it looks like they're almost finished so their might be delays there.

Just outside of Pitsea there's a pub so if you're dying for a drink we can stop there.

Mac, was that a merino shirt you wore the other night?

twas indeed, that's my one from the crowd you recommended in the States, I'll be wearing it again this weekend. It's washed up very nicely and retained no odours pre/post wash, am very happy with it.

 

[dellzeqq]

It's a smart piece of kit.

There is just a chance that we will be joining you

 

[Auntie Helen]

Would be great if you could come along, Dellzeqq, seeing as I missed you at Walton! And your babe too, of course.

 

[Sittingduck]

My attendance is dependant upon me getting my back wheel fixed before the weekend. Had to commute just 11 miles on the hybrid today Don't really fancy going all the way to Saarfend on it! Will confirm sometime later this week.

He's not ready yet ( the litespeed/merlin) only goes out with me in attendance:

He was more than 'reddy' the other night - he was glowing like a lump of Kryptonite hauling that clunker up the slopes - cruel young brother you!

MacB you smooth talker you,are you after extra cake
and as for silversurfer,I am developing a rather worrying Dickie Davies silver streak in my hair time for hair dye

 

[MacB]

Looking at the maps can someone be a bit more specific about the meet point and maybe my best option to get there? Is it a bridge we're meeting at or the Tower of London?

I can arrive at Victoria or Waterloo - map looks like Waterloo would be better option. If so should I cross the river there and go along the Embankment, or make my way along the south side of the river?
