[Garry A]

Damn! Lost my wee toolkit on this ride on Wednesday

Not expensive but annoyed with myself as I left my saddle bag unzipped. Some tyre levers, quicklinks, zip tie, patches and a crap multi-tool.

You reminded me: I found a btwin mini pump yesterday at Dalmarnock, just before the football pitches. Any claimers?

Up to you, is the rosyth road likely to be very exposed to wind?

 

[ChrisV]

You are too hardcore for me! Was thinking about possibly joining you if my bike was back from LBS but I'm exhausted reading that list of places!!!

I thought it was you, front brake doesnt really work hence the struggling to stop for you

I start at 8.30 on a friday to get away early and done 11 miles this morning

Didn't immediately realise it was you due to the hybrid, I did think you were just going to go for it so was breaking accordingly... (done it myself at a r'bout if there is a gap to save unclipping ).

Good effort!

With le tour finishing on Sunday, my late afternoons are going to become more cycling friendly, if you want a cycle with me and @Louch I'm sure we can get something sorted, we've got a good loop up by the pineapple then into torwood then take Glen rd then a wee back road to Stirling...it's a good wee loop that usually only takes a couple of hours
