Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Telemark]

hmm ... never done an audax before .
Not sure I like the A road back to Musselburgh ... As I understand, audax routes are optional as long as you pass all the checkpoints in the right order, so could I add a meander if I fancy it (and am not running out of time)?

That's right; controls are mandatory - routes are optional.
It would take some serious meandering to run out of time!

Very quiet in here recently

New PB on my way to work this morning, 5.2 miles in 18 mins, no school traffic makes a huge difference

Took the day off today to go and catch the TT. It was a cracking day for it with very little wind compared to yesterday and tons of sunshine between the heavy showers.
Heading for the Road Race on Sunday but here's a few memories of today;

Nice shots @GBC . I was watching it from the Gallowgate. Took my old Puch Alpine with me which was amazingly getting some attention. Bumped into an old pal I hadn't seen for a while so we headed into the Crystal Bell during the breaks in action. Turned out to a good wee day out, even though I'm not a big fan of watching cycling.

Glad you like them @Brandane. My mate lives in Stepps so I parked up there and we headed over to Rhubarb Braes, which let us catch them on the way out, and then again as they came back in from Muirhead. Good day and a good crowd

Moving day today, and I am officially no longer appropriate for posting in this thread :-)

400 miles of motorway, with massive rainshowers and even bigger queues on the M6. It's the longest I've ever driven in a day, and I hope it will be many years before I have to do it again.

You are always welcome here @Rasmus , you are only on loan to England

I went to the Irn Bru Store in the Merchant City yesterday, and..... Mein Shatz!! Look at some of those prices!!

Are you sure you turned the oven off?

My best wishes for a smooth settling into your new home and new job.
We will miss you!
Many years ago, when immigrants from the continent used to change their mind, go back to their country of origin, then without fail, after a few months, come back here, there was a say I heard often: once you drink the water in Scotland you can never leave.
May your new rides be challenging, may your new ride companions be friendly and the cake be good!

Well said @Pat "5mph" , you could always jump on a train and head north for an annual ride with your old mates in Scotland. We could call it the "Rasmus returns ride".
