Pig cheeks and druids. 24.8.14

Ride-outs & Events
1

In the absence of a viable alternative ride, we propose, a ride out west to sample Britains oft dismissed cuisine.

Depart the Ace 9.30am for a ripsnorting rideout westward to a porcine aqueduct and lunch stop.

Assuming you`ve survived lunch without a coronary bypass, the return route will be a melange of A and B roads with a cream tea on the way home.

No more than 300miles, back before dark.

[Essex mode on] PS, can anyone lead as I dont know the way. If not Ill repost in three weeks.:smiley: [Essex mode off]

We’ll sort it out & liaise soon, good to see some pigcheek fans still exist :slight_smile:

I am riding out with Martin on Sunday, but may well join you for breakfast if I can get up after arriving back from Scotland late Sat. if you can rustle up a few Druids that would also swing it for more than breakfast and I’ll dig out my purple tasseled robe as a start. May give the pig cheeks a miss though…:slight_smile:

Pig cheeks, druids and nice creams, I’m in and wouldn’t mind leading.

Oh wait, this Sunday you say, I can’t make this Sunday :blink:

Any time you fancy an easterly course you can pop by and help with the socks.

To Ricky - You came with us last time we ate pig cheeks by an aqueduct :slight_smile: route planning Sat eve as usual so will pm then if interested x

To Desmond - No.

13

Right, I am meeting Martin at 9am at the Ace for breakfast, then we will join you for the morning part of the ride and maybe a nice lunch, depending on whether it’s sandwiches at a bus station or a decent roast dinner. Then we will meander off and do our own ride for the afternoon.

Look forward to it!!:smiley:

Hels - we’ve said what there is for lunch - no roast dinner there, but plenty of pig cheeks (possible veggie options available, it’s a long while since we went so can’t remember the whole menu). After lunch we’ll be coming back too:)
