Wednesday night social with a little ride as well

This coming Wednesday evening 19th June the Ladies at Hill(where we normally eat cake ) Have agreed to hire us the hall for the evening.there will be tea,coffee,biscuits and hopefully cake (again courtesy of the ladies).I am also getting someone to bring along a turbo trainer for any one who wants to try one and if anyone has a set of rollers to bring along that would be great.
I am hopefully going to be there from 18.30hrs so just come along any time after then.
There is a little 9mile loop if anyone fancies a quick blast before or after they eat cake then they can do that as well. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2668059
Hope to see as many as poss there.
If this is a success then we will try to have a few more of these with bike help for people or even guests along. I am hoping to invite the Chap form my local Bike shop to bring his turbo with a power meter and lap top so you can have a virtual race around a course.

I'm up for a little socialising and looping, weather permitting. I'll be cycling to Hill from Bradley Stoke at about 5.30 pm so if anybody wants to tag along, feel free to join me.

If im free I might pop up, can bring my Minoura TT and spare back wheel if anyone wants to try one out etc.

Loops around a cake stop - that means 'cake' followed by 'loop' followed by 'cake' ...I'm in!

I'll be there. 

And don't forget, if anyone likes the turbo then I have one for sale on this very forum.

Dave would you like me to pick up your turbo and take it along?

Can do. 

I should be home from work by about 5 on Wednesday.

I was talking to Scott on todays ride about owning a tacx roller, as I cant make this one if anyone around the kingswood area wants to pick it up or as I pick a guy up for work at stoke Gifford I can always make a detour and drop it off at there house.

Might be an idea to bring "get me home lights" as if we all sit and eat cake then it might be dusky by the time those that ride up return.

Just rung the Lady in charge and they are going to make us three sponge cake 1 X Chocolate  1 X Plain (with cream of course) 1 X Lemon and a fruit cake so we should be ok .Well I will be i don't know what you lot are going to eat.

Hey I was a very advanced 5 year old...... (there's an opener there.........)

NO pavlova????? :x

The Lady said she could make one if you want but we would have to eat it all and you know what we are like I doubt if we could eat it all.

Cake on a Wednesday sounds good
Had one person comment about the motto on the jersey yesterday, liking it

Afternoon all,

Jo let me know about this, so all being well I'm planning to attend.

Hope to see you on Wednesday.

Scott, did you still want to pick up my Turbo? I think Karen would like to look at it.

Turned out nice again! And forecast for tomorrow is looking better than it has the past 4 days (no thunderstorm clouds showing!) Taking it easy tonight, having night off from the gym (have started a new leg workout past couple of weeks, and so far its made me hobble round at work for 3 days after each time!) and only 11 Strava PRs' on the way home tonight too  BBQ, ooh that would be good, maybe next time?!

@Dave
Yep I shall collect tomorrow 5.30 ish? PM address or I can collect from Chris's

Sadly I have to spend tomorrow night revising for an exam, but I'm very interested to hear how this goes!
