Essex ride out should it be re-risen?

[Leighio]

PLEASE NOTE THIS NEVER HAS BEEN OR IS TO BE A ORGANISED EVENT

Hi girls and guys its another brand new season of hopeful biking greatness if mother nature will allow, so lets hope it will be a better summer when it comes to the weather this year folks.

The meeting place for all dates is to be the same as in past years the world-renowned Comfort Cafe http://www.comfortcafe.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, you can also click on the following link which will take you to its location via Multi map so hope this helps.

Generally we try to start for around 8 in the morning so one and all have the chance to grap a spot of breakfast and a few mugs of tea or coffee over a chat. For those that do not wish to enjoy the hearty breakfast but would be more than willing to join the ride out; we aim to leave the Cafe for around half nine though this has never been been cast in stone in past years. This is where all the days’ adventures can be talked through and mobile numbers exchanged if wished in case someone gets left behind or worse lost.

What I need from guys wishing to join in is just your name posted with the dates you would like to join in....simple as.

The dates are as follows for 2010:

Stuart, sorry to be a pain, but is 8 am a little early to be meeting up? I live at least an hour away from the cafe. Can it be a little later? Maybe aim to be on the road from the cafe around 10ish instead?
Last year, among other reasons, i really didn't fancy getting up at 6am on a weekend!

[Leighio]

Hi Jo, to be honest very few turn up for eight and genrally as a rule we dont set off till half nine ten. How about I give you my mobile number then when you have chance to wipe the sleep from your eyes you can let us know if your on your way?

[jo]

Ok no worries then. I've got your number now thanks so will do that. Got to check the dates to see which i can make, but hoping to do most of them. My social life in non existent at the moment!
Looking forward to some rideouts...

[Mansie]

Oh dear, lots of Saturdays That's when I bring my boy to his swimming class (Have to wiggle myself out of that job then!)
Well I can understand you want to avoid the 'Sunday bikers' - lethal they are.
Can't commit but will let you know in advance if I can make it the weekend.
Cheers, Mansie

[jo]

put me down for all of them please Stuart....

[Phil Norton]

I'll certainly be along for as many of these as I can make, although I need to see how work pans out. At the moment I tend to work most Saturdays, either overtime or helping out at M&M motorcycles, when overtime isn't available.

I think that Marisa is planning to be coming along to most of the dates, although she's already got commitments for the 1st May.

[Leighio]

Phil no problems mate work comes first and I am sure if your working in the bike shop one of the saturdays that we could pop along to the shop? As long as your boss does not mind?

[jo]

Stuart, sorry to mess you about, but I can't make the first rideout after all as its my niece's birthday. My sister will kill me if I don't go round and take her pressie and put up with 20 noisy kids for the afternoon. I'm really sorry, I wanted to support our rideouts.

[Leighio]

Well it looks like it may very well be a lonely affair this first ride out of the year, just call me Billy
