Christmas on the Plain - LUNCH

[Trippy]

What are you doing?

Turkey Sarnies and a packet of crisps.

Blasting down the A303 5 mins for a KFC.

Hoping to find a pub thats empty and welcoming of 40 wet and muddy riders the 1st Sunday after Xmas.

Which do you think is the best idea?

I can't see a pub liking the idea of 40 muddy bikers, and Turkey sarnies are great if it is not raining..........so I would say KFC or Turkey sarnies if the weather forecast is good.

KFC gets my vote unless there is a stash of warm pasties available

HANG ON a few days, I`ll work on Mrs Bakes, maybe we can sort SOUP and PASTIES out at IMBER at 1pm.

 

[Trippy]

It gets better and better

BAKERMAN - you are a gentleman and a scholar

 

[Possu]

If Bakermans soup idea doesn't happen, we could always nip back to Countess Services on the A303?

Vegetable / vegetarian soup please.

You are a Gentleman (don't suppose you'll be putting the video on youtube of you "working" on Mrs Bakes )
Being a foreigner to your establishment, I am keen to try out these "Pasties". Being that Pies are my speciality, it will be interesting to taste the difference in pastry goodness and meaty moistness between the two

Lunch is for wimps....

































Being a wimp I'd be happy to have a stop and a sandwich on the trail...

I'm also thinking after a grabing a bite before we leave we'll not be that hungry by mid day and as the light will be fading will we be better off with a end of ride coffee and snack stop before we ride off in different directions rather than a mid ride long stop

That seems like a good idea to me Bakes you've already done enough just enjoy the day

How about bringing some Stokey oat cakes down from Gods country Flip

How about bringing some Stokey oat cakes down from Gods country Flip

I will gladly bring a whole pannier full of oatcakes should anyone wish me to. Especially brilliant with a cheese and bacon filling I find, although a good quality sausage and cheese oatcake is also an experience to savour

Oatcake Annies are still the best available, freshly made by hand to the old traditional receipe.

Oooooh nearly forgot, Wreford, Pip.........

Some of us fatties need a little bit of race fodder midday. Won't take long to scoff a quick butty or whatever.

Never had an oatcake before so best bring me some - perhaps they can be our breakfast

Done

 

[Clive]

I shall be going on a gentle post-xmas exploring bimble around.

Taking packed lunch, flask of coffee and quite possibly a camping chair to sit on while I eat my lunch, hopefully somewhere slightly sheltered on a wet, windy, exposed December plain

NNNNN

I`m going to agree

I just want to take you guys out, the idea of everbody taking their own is best.

Don`t normaly stop anyway only for petrol, my group won`t be stopping hoping to do 120 miles.

Stopping only at PETROL STATION in TILSHEAD where you can buy stuff, before IMBER.

I just want to take you guys out, why I offered I don`t know, silly me.

The idea of everbody taking their own is best for us here.

Don`t normaly stop anyway only for petrol, my group won`t be stopping.

Only to walk around IMBER and to eat there sandwich theres a PETROL STATION in TILSHEAD where we will fill up you can buy stuff.

Hoping to do 100 miles +

Or of course there will be snacks available to purchase from Bakerman's place in the morning

 

[Flipfly]

If I can buy a couple of pasties, a packet of crisps and a couple of bottles of something to drink from the bakery in the morning, I'll eat it whilst riding a la jim'll fix-it fame

I don't want to cause anyone any extra work so whatever works is fine with me. I doubt I'll die of hunger, there's a chance I could set a world record hunger strike with the reserves I keep with me

Sure thing I`ll get the sandwich girls to make a few extra sarnies and I`ll bake off a few pasties easy done
