The Great Cyclechat Jersey Relay - Discussion

[4F]

Buntingford appears to be a measly 28 miles away from Tynan

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

What about Tynan from Buntingford to Auntie Helen, Me (and Dudi if he can stay upright ) from Auntie Helen to Norfolk ?

 

[Auntie Helen]

Good scheme but I have a recollection that the Norfolk angle was for the Uni holidays only. Still I'm certainly on for passing the jersey from Tynan/Ardee to you, FatFella.

 

[longers]

Where's the northern jersey at the mo'?

 

[Landslide]

Where's the northern jersey at the mo'?

Still with me...
Fancy a handover?

 

[longers]

Fancy a handover?

Aye. Are you in Sheffield? I can get over there (subject to icy roads).

sounds good to me, quite fancy a trip north of the border...

Edit - but will have to wait for my crash hat to come back to me

 

[Tynan]

Tynan's ready and waiting, how far from Buntingford to Colchester though, the miles are rather adding up there aren't they ...

oof me to Buntingford to Colchester to home is a cheeky 132 miles

go and get it and Colchester on another day I suspect

Tynan, I could probably meet you part way out of London somewhere how about Harlow, Ware, Hoddesden or Hertford? I don't know Harlow or Hoddesden well so don't know what teat or coffee shops there are to meet up at; but, guess there will always be a clone coffee place such as Starbucks or perhaps you can suggest somewhere else.

 

[Auntie Helen]

Tynan, I don't expect you to travel all the way to Colchester, I could try and meet up with you on the way. I would have thought it's a two day special though! I recommended to Ardee that we meet up in Tiptree but if Maldon is more helpful to you we could meet there?

 

[Tynan]

that's more like it, I'm fairly happy with a decent distance, it's the time that worries me as well as route for that matter

I just about know my commute, any rides I've done have been very organised

erm, arrange a meet with you Ardee I guess although you're the 30 mile away one as I recall, that's ok for me unless you want to meet halfway, that works for me too, it sounds like you know at least some places out there so you call it, I have to work around West Ham games and there's lots soon so it looks like any Sunday to me if that works for you?

and yes Auntie Helen, I used to know Essex so where ever suits you really, nearer the time though yeah? Tiptree and the like is fine, I might sleep over with my bro in Braintree, mind you it'd have to be a Saturday then I guess, tbc init

 

[dudi]

looks like it'll be over this way fairly soon then.
better get my bike sorted and ready!

also, need to find out who to pass it on to from ushere in Suffolk.
Do we have any volunteers for the Norfolk/Cambridgeshire lot?

 

[Tynan]

I just got my bike unready by smashing the front and rear mechs off, at least, spandex has been good enough to make dark remarks about the frame and the block and more

and there's a tremendous run of West Ham games coming up

maybe the 25th, then the 1st

Essex after that

Tynan, I may be able to make the 25th or the 1st, however, I need to check when ArDee jnr. needs to go back to Uni.

Officially he starts back on the 19th; but, has mid year exams so isn’t planning to return this week-end as he wishes to stay at home to do more revision.

I’m more than willing to meet in Hertford which is about 15 miles from me so will probably be the same distance from you. Following on from your breakage, is this still on?

 

[Tynan]

Bike back today so no problems there

Only 15 miles? Sweet, 15 back though I suppose.

both those days are good for me at present, early start and early lunchtme cake good?

your call on which day and meet, let me know

cool

 

[Auntie Helen]

Following on from that, Tynan, is there a good place for us to meet on the next stage of the relay? I'm in the Colchester area and could probably cycle 15-20 miles towards you to pick up the jersey but am not a great long-distance cyclist!
