    My heavily pregnant missus' birthday is the 30th, So that rules me out for the 29th

    Happy to go for a ruby, much more civilized.

    That would suit me just fine, it's a mere 20 mile up the road.
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    I don't think so as Boff Glassback has quite comprehensively broken himself. In view of the fact that it's now mid November should we just go for a drink as the room upstairs is obviously booked by now. If so what day should we go for? I know the 13th has the most votes but I very much doubt I can do that night.

    How about a standing arrangement.
    18:00 @ The Morpeth every friday until 2014.

    If we keep doing that and people drop in looking for fellow cyclists eventually it will be a largish gathering.

    I'm guessing we've failed on this one, unless you're all going to the pub tonight and haven't told me.
    Drinks in the new year? Give it a few weeks and we'll all be in need of another drink.

    When will you be mobile enough y'old raspberry? If you're having surgery to replace your spine should it be after that?
    I'm fairly easy on dates and times.

    Okay folks i failed you last year on this one but how about a very belated xmas party?

    i'm pretty sure i can get the Morpeth to put on the usual curry fest and getting the room upstairs will be much easier, is there still interest?

    if so i might even dust off the SCR of the year trophy

    Given that we aren't facing the xmas parties, more dates should be available.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    well certainly enough for a gathering but not quite enough yet for a party.

    dates? i think this week is too so, well for me at least.

    Any chance of a date post-Flanders (by which time I will be very much on the beer and curry diet)? That's April 5th by the way. Generally, if its not a Monday or Thursday I'll try and get along.

    all good but this is where the problems start, so Flanders on the 5th and LBL on the 25th which means most wont be on the sauce until end of April, which means at the earliest the first Friday of May.

    Too close to the Etape & Marmotte for some no doubt ..?

    Well i'm going to suggest 2nd May @ Morpeth from 6pm until very very late

    now in the usual tradition we need a list and do we want to try and get the xmas £10 a head curry meal?

    Name, Food

    Oooh now if it had been 9th May I might have even popped in for a quick pint of Vimto. Let me know if the date changes.

    I could pop in on the 2nd but wouldn't go for food. Early start in the morning for a family holiday.
    RIP commute...
