Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Col5632]

No bike for @jazlok either for some time ... or so I am led to believe


GWS, Col

Cheers

I haven't seen anything on strava but then again not been on since monday

where has everybody wandered off to?
It's awfully quiet in here these days ...
Maybe all out cycling? HJ and I went on a wee ride to Musselburgh to be beside the seaside for a bit, followed by tea & cake at The Tide at Portobello promenade, very nice it was, too. We then had to fix a puncture (big bit of glass) in HJ's tyre, with the most amazing sunset !

I was planning on riding this am:
- 0830 - blue sky, if a little chilly.
- 0900 - fog, very damp, distinctly uninviting

Took the 4 wheels

I was planning on riding at some point this weekend but my wrecked sleeping pattern conspired against me

Don't want to 'like' this post ... hope you enjoyed your day, despite too many wheels being involved

Sleep well soon , hope it resolves itself - you aren't working shifts, are you?

@Telemark extra caution on the Belles rides, one on today's ride lost control of her bike, broken cheek bone, 4 stitches above one eye. She fell full face down.
Chatting and riding side by side on a path full of wet leaves is treacherous.

I didn't see any fog this morning in the harbour.

I left the house at 09:00... it ended up being twice as warm at the top of Redstone Rigg (6degC) as it was in Musselburgh (3degC) at 10:00 this morning. And I was overdressed.
Had a great day out AND I've joined the 10000km annual distance club for the first time.

Ouch. From a bedbound lass, please send her my best wishes and hope she recovers quickly.

Thanks SatNav, hope you feel a wee bit better today

Congratulations Was there a 10000k cake to celebrate?
I don't think I'll make it this year, just gone past 8000k ... kind of unintentional huge increase since last year

@Pat "5mph" - eek, that sounds horrible! Hope she feels better soon . As far as I know, today's Edinburgh Belles ride went without mishaps, apart from a fairy visit (conveniently near a place serving coffee) ...

Edit: just spotted your post - get well soon, too, @SatNavSaysStraightOn

ad a great day out AND I've joined the 10000km annual distance club for the first time.

Congratulations.... I know how much effort that takes having done it once before ... I was nearly there myself again this year (as opposed to a year of touring) and was looking to be well on course to get 11,000km but now sadly it is very unlikely to happen. I can't see me making it to 10,000 km with me being on 9,062km and now being in the position I am in now! Still it is a good target to aim for for rehab for next year

Thanks SatNav, hope you feel a wee bit better today

The morphine is helping to an extent provided i avoid the movements that cause the pain! <can't find appropriate smilie >

Thanks @Telemark - there was cake, but I went for soup and a slice of rocky road in Smithy's, Tyninghame.

@SatNavSaysStraightOn, thanks, you are so unlucky to be on the brink of 10k. I hope your recovery is speedy.

Most of my mileage this year is probably junk-mile-commute-add-on to be honest. I haven't been able to enter as many events as I'd hoped to. Being a single parent (half the time) with a full time job gets in the way!

Next year I'm aiming to do a 400k and we'll see how it goes beyond that!

Poor belle! Hope she's getting well looked after and I wish her a speedy recovery.

Not intentionally, it's just worked out that way!
