Cyclogs Scotland

[Scoosh]

Can't imagine how far BJ is going to go when he has recovered from his 'coneitis', knee troubles etc ....

Dont kid yourself Scoosh, i'm sure you will be along with your usual 100km rides soon, my distances are only short 20-30 mile rides per day, btw what's this three glens thing your doing ?

Och, it's a wee ride through, apparently 3 Glens .

Starts in Dalmeny and goes to Kinross, Dunning, Auchterader, Bridge of Allan .... and back to Dalmeny.

Still trying to work out which are the 3 glens though .

 

[MrRidley]

Hat off to you, that's a fair distance, i'm sure the Glens refers to some small inclines

 

[Scoosh]

I want to win this month. I've never won a month overall, and with Aran20 out of the running this time I have a hope. However I fear that riche1 will overhaul me as my high mileage for the month is over now, it's back to 35 miles per day, rather than the 50-60 I was doing in Germany. Sigh.

How much do you want to win ???

With such a 'flying start' to the month, why not put all else on hold - and go and win ?

Go on - you know you want to, you know you've got the legs, just make the time ..... (sounds easy, huh ? )


You know WE want you to ! ... and to join CC Ecosse - naturally

All the uphill bits, simples

Supposed to be 160km with only about 900m of climbing. I say 'only' 'cos the Ken Laidlaw Sportive which Seamab, Viniga and I did last month was over 3,000m of climbing - and it felt like it

Actually, the glens are usually the gentle bits - it's the 'between glens' which tend to go over to the next one !

Well I could do that I suppose but it's a bit boring when you're at home on your own pootling about, much easier to do high mileages when on a touring holiday!

I think it's fairly likely I'll win on the CycleChat team so not much point in getting too bothered if I get toppled from the overall rankings. Although I shall be annoyed when it happens...

Can you not take a train to [..........] (insert name of station 50-80 miles away) and ride home ? New routes, new views, work at night.



and WIN



simples (as they say )

 

[Auntie Helen]

I could do that, but I'd have to get the train to either London (yeuch) or Norwich (OK, but in Norfolk) as we only have one train line going through Colchester - well, that goes anywhere anyway.

I've been doing some group rides, including a sixty miler today, but with Him Indoors coming home from holiday tomorrow I may have to pay him some attention. I shall try to keep up the miles though - you can cheer me on in the overall league. And well done for CycleChat Ecosse for being so high up the rankings too!

 

[gavintc]

I have just edged into the lead,

Not for long

Oh Poo, thought that lead might last longer than a couple of hours!!

I have a day off commuting tomorrow so cannot put up miles tomorrow night. I think my next ride is Sat morning with the club.

Still quite happy with my overall average speed. But, I had to really cane it tonight to get over 20 mph as the wind was not favourable. I am sitting here 3 hours, after getting off the bike with tingling legs.

I'm languishing near the bottom of the table after holidays and other commitments have kept me off the bike for 11 days this month.

Don't worry, if I was registered I'd be lantern rouge by a long way

There's nothing wrong with the red lichties.

Aaargh ! Snorri's back ! Quick get out and get some miles in

Good on you, snorri/sandy - we need loadsa miles to keep those Kiwis 'down under'

Do I detect a note of yearning? Thinking about coming out of retirement?

"Nooooooooooooo" I hear you scream
