Is there anybody left apart from @Rasmus & @Pat "5mph" ? @GBC? @GlasgowFinn? @Edwardoka? @mr messy - how are the new brakes? @Harry_Palmer79 - how's the chin & presumably some other assorted bruises?
The weather does look a bit dreich & damp at the moment, but it's still early days, my fingers are firmly crossed ...

I don't have the ice excuse anymore now , but still reserve the & one for the time being

Well @Telemark if all the boys bail out, you and I could join a Belles ride to Linlithgow along the canal on the same day

Have a fully functioning rear brake now woohoo!
Just the front one to get working properly......now that would be self indulgent

 

[mr messy]

That was for ditching pop

Saying that, I may be a maybe . Letter of collection for n+1 arrived today, collecting tomorrow,so need to crack on building my bike shed ASAP

Will you not be keeping your sexy new ride in the bedroom?

 

[Telemark]

Just had a quick look at the train times ...The train arriving at 9:37 at GQS looks ideal, departure from Waverley 8:45 not too horrible, assuming I stop staying up late and blethering on CC .
From GQS, it's just heading south and then turning right/west along the Clyde, should be able to find my way to the Armadillo, it's easy to spot

I'll come pick you up. Meet at taxi rank, back of the station

 

[Edwardoka]

Is there anybody left

@Edwardoka checking in! (Although as wiggle messed up my bike-fettling order the Triban shall lack for mudguards, so you will likely want to designate me as the lanterne rouge...

@Gee_Dee check in please

Well, I'm a little stiff and my face nips a bit but nothing major... I get my stitches out on Friday so 'all being well' I'll be there too!

 

[GlasgowFinn]

I'm still in and looking forward to it!

No ice on the Glasgow roads this morning. Ask again after I ride home late tonight

Great stuff - you'd be most welcome.

Weather forecast has been "upgraded" from cold and dry to warm and wet. Could change many times yet, so we'll see what we end up with.

 

[GlasgowGaryH]
