Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Louch]

The Belles did not meet at Central today, we met at the Bells bridge, rode to Lochwinnoch and back, a nice 46 miler

seen a Millport ride logged by someone I follow, was maybe that?

One of the girls I rode with today was in Millport yesterday, with another group, forgot which one.

Oh well, might have to go stormin normin, means I can hit the bumpy bits too mind. See you on the 18th for some mega super awesome hills and island fun, unless you are free next week as well.

Was that @Scoosh I passed tonight, on the cycle path at Barnton passing between the golf course - on an UPRIGHT?!?

Has the musical bathchair been ditched?? Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so...

It might very well have been @Fubar OMIL ! I just fancied a wee ride on my Condor Fratello - the first this year !

Sincere apologies that I didn't recognise you - and, not being as noticeable when riding the flying sofa, others don't get to shout 'Hello' as they approach !

It really is interesting that on the 'bent everyone looks/ comments/ waves/ smiles/ laughs, while on the upright, I'm yet another anonymous cyclist ...

I'm getting a lot of old men, all of a certain age, all wanting me to stop and let them see more of 'that beautiful machine' as I pass them, usually slowly uphill!

Such lovely weather yesterday. Would have been pretty perfect for a big training ride, especially now that @HLaB has shamed us all with massive mileage.
(Note to self: fix the bloody triban you lazy nitwit!)

Hope the fog clears up a bit for the (presumably) grcm/belles riders i saw in central station this morning. Going somewhere nice?

The sun came out here today :-) It had been grey and cold all weekend, so I popped out again. I really must re start the garmin after the cafe, I've did myself out of 11 miles ;-)

I like those wheels

You did nod, so did I then I looked back and shouted "Scooshie!", And almost took out 2 pensioners!

Good to see you my friend. Not up for the 100 miler round Fife on 3rd May?

I ge the impression @HLaB likes his bike ...

I nod or say Hi or something to everyone I pass and I'm trying to remember whom I passed on that stretch of path - I think I must have just overtaken a man and woman on their bikes and was heading after a guy in a bright yellow jacket who was spinning away in fine style ! I had my 'Catch Him !' blinkers on ...

100 miles round Fife - nice.
100 miles round Fife up and down all those lumps ? Not fit enough yet ...

Aero carbon rims with go faster spokes, no wonder he's a mile-eater!

Even with my 7lbs loss in last week, I doubt they would give me an aero profile to match his!

@HLaB , long time no see on the Irn-Bru! How are you keeping? Any plans to return to the land of your fathers?

On another note, I've just (finally) made the time to wrestle the last ice tyre off the tank, now it's truly spring. I shall be flying up the hill tomorrow morning on the way to work (relatively speaking )...

He was up a couple of weeks back, leading from the front on our Tourist Time Trial.
