Scotland : Ayrshire & Arran Arran ride around

[Edwardoka]

Which segment is it again? I'm quite the sprinter these days

http://www.strava.com/segments/3879093 is not a sprint, it's a time trial

http://www.strava.com/segments/2035651 is a sprint, but I will fight you to the death before letting you claim my remaining KOM

Got a friend's funeral the day before Arran, still plan on attending as it will take my mind off it

Problem is, you kind-of have to stay on the bike during a time trial...

On that note I had a 'proper' look at the stretch where I came off using the google-maps feature on Strava the other day (I had only briefly looked before). I noticed the road had a slight bend to the right after a long straight-ish stretch, which makes me think perhaps it was just the excess speed that meant I wasn't able to steer round the corner as quickly as I needed to, rather than a gust of wind like I had thought previously. I remember the couple of seconds just before I went in the ditch, but how I came to be so far across is still a bit of a blur... Anyway, needless to say I won't be going for a KOM on that stretch!

Since you're feeling so racy why not join me at this event?


(I'm going to fall foul of mod rules regarding crossposting aren't I? )

Feck the mods...my thread and I'm allowing it ( sorry all mods, that big boy did it and ran away)

That event does look good. Will have to see how my runnings goes , as I'm working away next few weeks , and Leeds is a lil too hilly for any longer runs of 6-10 miles I need to get done

I have yet to fall off when in motion, its stopping that has been my downfall

After today's exercise in mediocrity I am less confident about my participation than I was. Fingers crossed!
