The Great Cyclechat Jersey Relay - Discussion

[dan_bo]

coming soon to a manchester orbital near you..........

 

[Auntie Helen]

From the Google map, Tiptree is only another 5 miles or so on form Braintree so that will be OK if you can't find somewhere else.

Stedlocks, If we arrange a date would you like to come, we could meet in Stortford for the ride into darkest Essex and you can sign the jersey as well?

Hi ArDee,

I'm now back from my cycle-tour-fact-finding trip to the Rhine and so am available for the great cyclechat jersey relay.

Tiptree really is a very pleasant place to visit so if you're willing to do the extra 5 miles that would be great. The road to Halstead isn't too good from where I live but if that works better for you then I'll happily do it.

Do we have any rough idea when this will be? Are we talking weekends or weekdays (I can do some weekdays). Looking forward to it anyway!

Hi Auntie Helen,

Our new bath room suite turned up yesterday and I have specific orders to get that in before Christmas, so need to concentrate on that initially. Can I come back to you once I’ve sorted out the majority of the works for that? Wasn’t planning on replacing the bath room suite but we had friends from Australia to stay and they broke the bath! We were sitting down stairs at the breakfast table with water pouring through the ceiling. Needed to rush up stairs quick and pull the plug on the bath let the water out.

Home to Tiptree is around 40 odd miles so be a good run out and around 85 for the day, I’ll stick a message on here when the bath room is in.

Unless I pass it on to Stedlocks which is only about 12 miles, probably get out for a morning, and he passes it on to you, Stedlocks are you reading this?

What week days are available? I may be able to take a day off.

 

[Auntie Helen]

What week days are available? I may be able to take a day off.

I'm generally free Tuesdays and Thursdays but am also available Monday afternoons (but wouldn't get to Tiptree till about 3pm so that's a bit late). Weekends are fine though if you can't take time off. Let me know when the bathroom is done!

sorry mate, just got this...........how do you want to do it?? are we thinking of a meet before off to tiptree?

 

[Tony]

Hmmm
Catches thread late...offers body for forum...

Sorry Stedlocks, been away on business again and with the bathroom not had a lot of time.

Each time I do something in the bathroom it creates more work. Took the bath out and found that there was basically no wall behind it so need to replace the laths and re-plaster. Then took the bathroom cupboard out to find, yet again, no wall behind it and the rest of that bit of wall was hardboard; so again laths and re-plastering. Oh the joys of living in an old house!

I don’t think I’ll be able to pass on the jersey until the Christmas break. Is this OK with you?

 

[Tynan]

What jersey is it in Essex and which direction is it traveling in?

I manage to miss the London one months ago, forgot the bloody things were still going

 

[Will1985]

Any way it can get up towards Norfolk over Christmas?

Otherwise, when does one reach the West Midlands?

 

[Auntie Helen]

Funnily enough I'm going to be in Norfolk for New Year and I was due to receive one of the Jerseys (not sure which one) although it may not now happen, but if it does I could take it to the Norwich area in due course.

Sorry Auntie Helen and Stedlocks the bathroom is taking a lot longer that originally intended and business has also been particularly trying recently. I hope to get sometime between Christmas and the New Year is it OK to PM you when, and if, I can organise a date?

 

[Auntie Helen]

Yes, sure, go ahead and PM me when you have the end to the bathroom in sight - we'll see if we can arrange something!

 

[Tynan]

Buntingford appears to be a measly 28 miles away from Tynan

I can collect no problems, I can't deliver to Norwich though

 

[Auntie Helen]

I could do a delivery to Norwich from the Colchester area except it'd have to be with me by Sunday. A bit unlikely, what with Christmas and all...
