I'm quite certain that your current level of fitness is well above mine, although as I'll constantly be in your slipstream, you better get to it!

This still sounds a good ride just need to figure out if and how i can get there....

You left me for dead coming out of torryburn on the round the forth ride

That's quite true, but it was flat running. Langholm is all hills and as you only weigh a few grams, that's some advantage! :-)

The hill coming out of torryburn wasnt flat running

I'm no hill climber though

@MikeW-71 Sorry but I definitely won't be able to make this one now. Been having trouble with my left knee (medial ligament I think) which means I can only manage about 5 flat miles before the pain kicks in. Going to try resting for a few weeks and see if that sorts things out, before trying to get a physio appointment. Enjoy the ride folks!

@MikeW-71 @Col5632 and I were just discussing times, it will probably take us 2 hours to get to the starting point - might be worth PM'ing mobile numbers in case we are stuck in traffic/lost on the way to the start! We'll probably aim to leave between 07:30-08:00.

A week to go and the weather doesn't look too bad, though I doubt anyone will be in short sleeves . I've also come down with a lovely cold, which will hopefully be gone by next saturday

I'll send out my mobile number in the next few days. Looking forward to this now

@Col5632 might be.

 

[Col5632]

Beginning to doubt my fitness for this ride, could do with working the sat night also but really dont want to miss out on the ride

 

[Fubar]

Looks like we might start off dry but with a chance of rain, windy also - layer-up gentlemen!

 

[MikeW-71]

3 days to go

Weather forecast is still so-so, looks like it will be a bit chilly.

So... winter alloy bike with it's full mudguards, complete with new bars and newly wrapped bar tape (by me!)..... Or the best carbon job with just a rear guard?? I know which one I really want to ride

 

[Tolvar]

I just have one bike with no mudguards, so I know which bike I'll be riding :-)

 

[Col5632]

I've decided to pull out of this ride, really want to go but needing money badly and the only way i'll do that is if i work sat night, plus i don't feel like i would make it up the hills
