Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Louch]

I won't even dispute that. Death roads hold no appeal to me. Doesn't suit me that road. I'd be in a ditch or under a car.

The climbs we done today were good, Helped that the sun was out

Me and @Louch , well more me, had a good argument with a car driver today when we were climbing out of Bridge of Allan up to Dunblane, the clown accused us of holding up the traffic up because we were riding 2 abreast...The clown failed to notice we were going at snails pace and the traffic was held up from the roundabout nearly all the way back to Bridge of Allan...an idiot of a driver

I noticed big tailbacks on the M9 as I passed over it (giggling). An accident or just Easter traffic?

Easter traffic i think, we were crawling up to the big roundabout at Dunblane and we could see the traffic coming up the motorway was also crawling to the roundabout...Yet to fat guys on bikes were holding all the traffic up

No 1 bletherer?

I had a great day doing 80-ish miles around pretty much all the OS chevrons on the Cowal peninsula. More 20% ramps and climbing out of the saddle than I've ever done before. Here's the view across Loch Fyne to Lochgilphead from the insane climb from Glendaruel to Otter Ferry.

While the weather might be equally nice tomorrow, my legs need some rest... Hopefully back out on Sunday.

I've got some "interesting" sunburn patterns from the cycling helmet. If I reinforce them over the weekend, I'm going to look pretty peculiar when I go back to work.

Chapeau! *doffs cap*
That is an incredible effort, I've looked into similar routes around Cowal but never actually been brave enough to join them up into a single ride, with good reason It seems!

There's roadworks on a stretch near me....may be that as well as holiday traffic?

 

[Louch]

that roundabout is usually bad at weekends, I wast needed in the argument as a guy in a pink polo top driving a convertible had enough problems
