View Full Version : Drink anyone? ~ 2nd December?
I just wondered how many people would be up for a Friday night session in Bristol as the cold is setting in I know many of you may not be keen on riding but how about drinking?
Was thinking about middle of december just before the Xmas onslaught begins..
thoughts?

I am always for a drink in Bristol, and people who know me can
confirm that I attended pub meetings in the past. However, I will be
unavailable on Friday 16 December: I am in charge of a big farewell
dinner for a retiring colleague.

Yes, assuming there's not a clash with a few other committments I have already.
Top idea!

Sounds like fun guys. Let me know were and when an I'll do me best to be there.
I can't do the weekend starting 9th.
Count me in - since I live in Bristol, it'd be rude not to.

What? I've travelled 250 miles for a night out more than once and Godikus (where is he?) came down from Scotland in the summer.

Yes, good point but try explaining that to my missus. If I drive to the pub she's suspicious, let alone drive 70 miles for a pint.
I'm working until 1900 but am always up for a night in Bristol... will probably take the train and crash at a mates tho.
Unless of course I can cadge a lift in a helicopter like today...

I hope that wasn't obtained the way most bikers end up getting lifts in helicopters.

In the past it has been the Ostrich Inn: http://www.britishpubguide.com/cgi-bin/pub.cgi?results:Bristol:372
The Ostrich is conveniently placed, about a 10 minute walk from Temple Meads.

The pubs of Clifton/Cotham may be better, the OStrich is convenient and scenic come summer...but bottom line its a **** pub really, isnt it :lol:

True. But the matter of travelling from Trowbridge on public transport
is a serious one for me.

Perhaps another pub in a similar area then, i.e. between the water and temple meads. There's lots, many even nearer than the Ostrich.
knights templar just round the corner from Temple meads.. or Reckless Engineer??

So is this gonna be on Friday 2nd of December?
If so I think I should be able to make it. I might bring some friends along though, as I'll need somewhere to spend the night.

We are bikers, so we should be terrorising the locals, not the other way round.

Yep, I recommend the Coronation Tap in Clifton. Their cider is legendary...
Carsick, fortunately not although I talk to the local helimed daily. I work at an airport and managed to get a ride on a delivery flight.
Edited to sort out a drunken attempt at forum hypertext.

C'mon people, decision time! Name that pub.
The Reckless Engineer is OK but I think they have a live band on Fridays.
Its only a 10 minute walk from the station to the Waterfront, maybe the Arnolfini Bar?
Otherwise like Anna said the Knights' Templar (Wetherspoons)?
Failing a decision, I volunteer Anna to make everyone mulled wine while we kick the tyres on her bike and hold a wake for it.

Yes, it would be good to come to a decision.
