All looks good Richard! I'm sure we'll come across a memorial some where along route. Hope it's a tad drier than last Sunday was.

I'm up,for this one
ChasMill is resting after his excursion to the Wirral, wherever that is.
I know Chas is getting on a bit (kettle & pot) but how many days rest does he need? See you Sunday chaps.
He's been away, death of father etc. etc. My post was a joke, following a convivial lunch with the stout fellow yesterday, at his journey to hunt for (possible) gold....
aaahh I see, my apologies and condolencies to "young" Chas then.
Spoken to ChasMill, who was firing on all cylinders. He may yet be joining us. Text as to YES or NO sometime on Saturday.
Away we go....
We seem to have hit lucky with Sunday's weather forecast from London, through Hertfordhire, Essex and Suffolk
Today's rain should clear. Chance of a bit of overnight frost (so take it steady) and the day warming up. Zip mention of snow or all day freezing; so all systems go for an 09:30 departure.
If everyone could have enough fuel to get us to Walker's tea stop (or all the way back to Chelmsford) that would be great. At the start of the day (before arriving at the cafe) there is fuel available at Buntigford and Royston. There is fuel close-by Walker's and again at the end of the day at our final stop in Chelmsford.
I think we have the following punters:
brianmaslen
gsgarth
Cooky
dxtans
tommymoto
NeilDD
bakerlonglegs
Wapping
ChasMill (hopefully, maybe)
Kev B (hopefully, maybe)
Anyway, 10 or so bikes, which is great
Cheers,
Richard

Looking at Richard's routes and depending on the final choice it shuld be around 115 from the Silver Ball to Chelmsford, hope that helps.
Thanks, looks like I have to pass this time. Have fun and post some pics at the end!

Without your help I would still be stuck there.Thanks.
Great to meet some old and new faces.

My thanks to one and all who came out today, especially for rescuing me ( and my trousers) from the fence.
Good fun I thought.
I may well do some more UK one-day rides in 2013, when the light gets better and the cold has near enough gone. With a bit of thought I could do some two-day (Saturday Sunday) rides, if anyone fancies something. They will have to be slotted in between Wanders across the Channel but it should be possible.
Cheers,
Richard

Thanks for organising todays bimble Richard. Nice to get out on the bike before the weather turns. I hope the trousers are ok.

Another great run Richard, and good company. Could have been interesting if the warders had found you caught on the fence next to Highpoint women's prison? Mind you the pictures showing someone unhooking you from the fence definitely should be posted.
