Here’s what we’d do
Make Dick Nichols a short after-work meeting rather than a full evening commitment. A clear arrival window helps friends with different commutes, while a firm finish makes joining possible before dinner or family responsibilities.

- The shared part

Finish at the agreed pace
Finish before the group's agreed return-home deadline.
