Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Fubar]

After years spent in the pursuit of sheer speed, up to and including 20kph, I've decided in the face of advancing years to go for 'comfie' instead. Please meet my new shiny shiny sparkly Jamis Quest Comp
It features a Reynolds 520 steel frame, carbon forks, and a Sora triple with a 11-28 cassette. Haven't had a proper ride on it yet, but it promises to be so comfortable that there's a real danger I may nod off!

And yes, I've been thinking and planning so much for it, I haven't had time to cut the grass.

Shed could do with a lick of paint too...

Grand Depart, Stage 2, Sheffield, Jenkin Road. Out of thousands of folk find myself opposite to Scottish guys who asked to take a photo us holding our Saltires .
Commonwealth Games, road race, Montrose Street. Out of the initial hundreds of people (soggy falling stuff chased some folk inside) I find myself thinking, is that the two same guys from Jenkin Road? Answer, sure was, even on the exact same side of the road too.
It's a small planet.

I'll PM my address to you @Fubar, there could be a tin of beer in it for you

Just one tin?!? That's a big shed...

Hello folks, I'm a burgher through and through….

that sounded a bit better in my head?!

12' x 10' @Fubar - I'll chuck in a bag of cheese and onion as well

 

[Louch]

I'll do it for a gel

What with the man caves/sheds! I'm so naïve. Some sort of weird/freaky euphemisms I suppose.

- will it survive without you ?

So you must have a real job now ... one that pays real £££ ??

I see an N + 1 or 2 in your future ...

Every success to you and strength to your legs !

New job is working for a company that makes the tools used for research - so my new job is kind of to make sure my old job survives without me

More of a side step in the career, so not much more £££s - for now.

But n+1 is a virtual guarantee as the current roadbike will be transformed into a commuter

off to do my first solo sportive today. weathers looking abysmal, with a westerly wind on a mainly East>West route. and reading pre event notes, its full of that grit on the roads resurfacing stuff. almost tempted to go for Bib Trousers

 

[Louch]

Great day out that. Route was all back roads in good condition. Corners had a bit of gravel but to be expected this time of year. Food stops met all expectations. Deffo doing it gain next year

Thinking of entering the PfS 100 now as it turns out I'm free that day. Just the logistics putting me off. Hmmm.
