I need to go on a night ride soon! This is partially the fault of @Telemark for getting me hooked into the idea of cycling through the night, and partially the fault of @GlasgowFinn for having a Cateye volt 300 front light on the EdFOC night ride which was so impressive that I had to go and buy something similar. I have ended up with a Lezyne Macro Drive; and like a big kid I can't wait until winter and need to get out in the dark to play with it NOW . I am thinking my regular loop up around Loch Thom and Greenock might be a suitable route.

Hehe you're welcome - luckily being hooked on night riding is not a dangerous disease, but you will have to put up with it for life, no known cure .
Look out for @mcshroom's Hadrian's Wall ride, hope it's happening again this year (September?)

It will be, though a week earlier (18-19th September) as I'll be heading off on a two week Highland tour the last weekend in September.

With any luck there will not be a support car this year, as barring another injury I'll be on my bike

@mcshroom - Please do post a link to the new thread here when you've got one set up . I'm slightly softening on not doing this particular night ride again as it was so special in 2013 that it couldn't possibly be any better the next time round . Work may get in the way yet with travelling abroad, won't know for definite for a while yet ...

Well for those of you not on Facebook or don't already know I took Vicky away to skye this weekend, took her to the fairy pools and proposed, she thankfully said yes so we are now engaged thinking about next August as a potential date but more likely 2017

Some kinda cycling needs to happen Skye blew my mind and would be a great place to cycle, the only downside is a good portion of the roads are single track or narrow

I'm afraid Vicky does not do bikes or cycling, thanks though

Yeah but I think asking her dad's permission was much harder lol

having seen them together, I doubt he had that many doubts she wouldnt say yes ....and if he had there was a bloody high waterfall behind her he could have pushed her off lol

Time enough ...

Mind you, Mrs Scoosh doesn't really 'do' cycling - but is very keen to encourage me to go for a ride, buy another bike/ trike, help at the EdFoC Night Ride ...

Should I be worried about this ???

Haha that particular waterfall was very small, there was a few I could have pushed her in though lol

Funnily enough she wants to get married with a waterfall behind us lol

whoo hoo, just noticed I passed 7500 miles all time. not bad for 2 1/4 years when I take winters off

Realised this morning it was exactly one year since my last fixed gear ride, that finished in a smashed up arm. Riding over the bridge I crashed on this morning was a bit strange.
