Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Scoosh]

Eek, what happened? Hope you are healing fast (and the bike is OK, too )... I'm not looking forward to the bus journeys, but it doesn't hurt to get a reminder every so often of all the reasons why bikes are the bestest way to travel .

In this case, I believe it did hurt - quite a lot !

I didn't risk it either yesterday but jumped on today and the westerly wind is extreme, should push me home though

Take care all you riding today, it is wild!
I took a few days off work, because of several deliveries and tradesmen calling in view of my new bathroom can't leave home all day, so having a baking day
Just got a phone call, can't leave home tomorrow either, for a delivery they can't give me a time for, so gonna have a bike fettling day
Hope the weather calms down for Friday, my next commute.

I hope you're not in it when they call...

Useful. Salop doesn't get as many icy days as you do up north but I've still bottled 2 commutes recently because of the risk of black ice . An order has been placed.

Phil, they will last you for years, it's a good investment.
With the temperature drops here one could ride to work in sunshine, ride on ice at the finish of shift, this actually happened to me last December.
Mind to email Schwalbe uk customer service with your address for some spare studs, if you tell them you lost a few during the bedding in they will send you a handful of spares no questions asked.

Will do. These were the ones that kept the studs better if I recall. Is that right?

Yes, I think so. I didn't lose any ... yet

I wouldn't fancy riding to Bowmore from Port Charlotte today @Pat "5mph" @Edwardoka @Harry_Palmer79 @Ellebells @DougieAB @Fiona MacNeill @heather68 - @Scoosh and @MikeW-71 would be staying in, obviously

Hope I'm not speaking too soon, but where is this "weather bomb" thing? It is quite bad here, but it was worse yesterday!

I was thinking the same thing, it was snowing when i left this morning but now quite sunny and the winds are lighter
