Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Scoosh]

I did 60km on Saturday and just thought I'd like a change - something a bit lighter and quicker ! It is too ...

 

[Telemark]

@Scoosh - We should go on a ride together some time soon, resurrecting CC Ecosse East with something shorter than @Fubar's crazy long ride ...

Short rides are good too! Can get some feeders going to up the mileage...

Day trip around the night ride route?

If you are referring to last year's route, that could be an option, but still a long-ish ride at >100k/60 miles ... not sure I have that much time at the weekends just now... If you are referring to this year's new mystery route - nope, that's closely under wraps ... no peeking (or I'd have to kill you )

Boo, dont want it changed

... or, even worse, 'do a number' on/to your bike . It's a serious business, the EdFoC Night Ride !!!

I would like a south of edinburgh route , have the hang of the coast but is there any routes around the hills/ by the bypass that kick us back out towards kirkliston area?

made the time to wrestle the last ice tyre off the tank

I've only got one ice tyre off
But the summer wheel set has been polished, a new chain has been cut, can't remember if the freewheel was skipping last time I've used the summer wheel set

@Edwardoka @Louch they are indeed beautiful wheels, I put them back on today, Spring is finally here :-) @Telemark I'm surviving, missing home a lot but I guess I need to pay the bills some how :-/

@Louch i get my TCR back from it's service today, so if you want I'll be fewe for a bike ride, can't go one today as the oldest dug is getting her stitches out and this morning when I was filling up the car I was half a sleep and I've turned the key to quick and hard and I've snapped my key in the fuel lock, so I need to go into ford to see what they can do for me, but I should be free the rest of the week...

 

[Louch]

I'd have more likely to be ale to keep up when you a on triggers broom !

It's too heavy on the climbs, I've been on it the last week and a half and climbing sheriffmuir from dunblane and the logie kirk and it was leaving me in a mess.

 

[Louch]

If its leaving you in a mess, I'd be as well digging myself a hole now

Is this a road bike you are saying it "too" heavy?
