Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Fubar]

Sadly trip advisor is indicating that the cafe in Kinloch Rannoch has closed so I will simply have to subject anyone visiting to some homemade cakes and drinks either half way around the loch of at the holiday cottage (full kitchen so no issues with baking it I take the cake tin or you will all just have to have chocolate chip scones!)

I'm sure we could cope with that...

Haven't been on the bike since the night ride. Went on holiday the following weekend. My Dad passed away whilst we were abroad so by the time we got home and sorted things out I didn't have time for a pedal.

Round Strathaven 50 soon so need to get the miles in!

Who's all doing it apart from me and @Louch ?

Sorry to hear that, I believe @GBC has signed up today too

Yup! Haven't actually done this one before, but it is an area I visit on the bike frequently - trying to get the heir to join us as well, but it will depend on his work shifts.

Sorry to hear about your Dad, GF.. Hope you and the family are doing as well as can be expected, and that you manage to find some time to get more miles on the new toy soon.

Have to say I am reluctant to commit to ANY rides more than about 2 days in advance with the way the weather has been so far this "summer"; but will keep an eye on things for the RS50..

@Brandane it's a cracking route but it's a bit of a grind if the weather's no good. The cake stops are outstanding. *fatty*

RS50 .... £20 but be quick .

Looks like a day for finding a north east bound ride and bag a few Strava PB's . Scotrail can do the hard work.

Edit .... Done.

Did you get lost in Eaglesham?

Not lost as such; just didn't fancy crossing this without the help of CalMac ferries!

I think I might have the most pathetic excuse ever.

Off for summer but go back to work on Monday 17th - probably need to be getting organised for the week on that Sunday in particular. Worried I might be knackered when it is usually quite a tough weak.

I feel ashamed writing that.

First week back is just wrapping jotters etc. it's a nice wee route, one tough bump and was windy the year I did it. 3 food stops rammed with cakes and warm sausage Rolls are perfect for a more relaxed ride

Sounds good @Louch, I really only do 'relaxed' these days:-)
