Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Fubar]

This commonwealth games malarky here in Glasgow is giving me cycling hassle
The place is a building site, roadworks everywhere, rubble carrying lorries at 7am, can't get peace and quiet to cycle any time of day

Get 'em sorted out Pat.

Friday? This working week seemed to go on for ever ...
Looks like most of the washout predicted for tomorrow might be arriving early, possibly leaving a few daylight hours dry & perfect cycling weather (in my part of CC Ecosse land anyway)!

I've got my race blades on and ready for bun running, whatever the weather.

Am heading down to the logie kirk hill TT tomorrow, should be good viewing I have a feeling it's going to be a busy day.... Haven't been out on the bike all week, have had a bit of a cold starting to feel a bit better..... The joys of living in a 200 year old house this house is fecking freezing

I miss proper cycling. Haven't been on the bike since Arran. Had such a fun summer on the bike that the dark nights just won't allow. Hopefully get some miles this weekend, if the exercise bike caused kneecap pain lifts.

Tho a new discussion re my n+1 as I get nearer my cycle 2 work renewal budget setting may keep me occupied

That's me back on the bike after a week away with work!
A wee bit blustery & lots of rainbows (funnily enough, there is as well) ...
Transported the last lot of the potatoes (8 kg - including some monsters for baking ), the one and only pumpkin, and still lots of leaves and courgettes, pretty amazing for late October really ...

How dare they stop you being on the bike for a week

How dare they stop you being on the bike for a week

That's what I thought, too.

On another note, my first commute after 10 days was really quite different... so much daylight in the morning (and so much easier to get up) , and so pitchblack & wet in the evening ... also quite going downhill most of the way with a tailwind, despite the extra layer. Must take another layer for tomorrow evening ...
My Noodley front light was proving its worth once again, showing up all the potholes and big puddles (for those wondering, you'll not find that brand in the shops or on the internet, there was a legendary sale on CC when @Noodley temporarily gave up audaxing , and I was one of the lucky few).

How did everybody else get on with the clock change?

I fell out with the Clock Change when my 3 year old son got up an hour earlier than his usual inhumane weekend rising time. But I shall have the next laugh, in March.

I haven't ridden a 200k or more since, so still retired, good to hear the light is still going strong
