    Let's just say we will all meet at 6pm on the 8th at the Pen Ponds car park. That allows us to collect people from all directions.

    Do post where you end up, for the chaps/chapettes who might be turning up later.

    If anyone else is in Mallorca for the 312, I'll be there from Thursday until Monday drinking like its the end of the world.

    This is a gentle reminder that we will be meeting next Friday (8th) at 6pm in the Pen ponds car park and then going to the Roebuck after a little plodding round the park. ;)

    If one wanted to dodge the willy waving laps in the park, what's the estimated arrival time at the pub?

    No willy waving plans for the park. I can't see us getting to the pub any later than 7. I will definitely be there for a couple of hours at least.

    I'll probably be there about 6:30, straight there via the park but on the path to avoid any willy waving.

    Bummer.

    I am not sure who is coming TBH, but that is just because I am disorganised. I am likely to go to the pub at around 6.30 or so but cycle a little before hand as its only 30 mins from work and I will leave by 5.00 on Friday! ;)

    is it the usual BR Forum gathering, also referred to as "when twelve become one" ?

    Last year I organised a spring ride along the stunning Sustrand no. 5... out of a pool of 20 very interested folks, we ended up being 5...

    That's pretty much why the Xmas party and weekly morpeth visits died a death.

    Whatever happened to the days when people would knock off at 3-4 and head straight to the nearest boozer?

    Was all different back in MY day

    Will anyone be meeting in the park at 6? If not I will pootle round by myself (its better than being at work!) and then come to the pub at 6.30 or so.

    If people do want to meet I will be at the Pen Ponds car park at about 6pm. Black kit, yellow rucksack and black condor Italia.

    I'll be doing some laps of the park from 5.30 / 5.45 ish - red (and white) BMC SLC-01, blue and black OMM rucksack. Won't be able to make the drinks tho.
