Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Col5632]

Oh Col! How did you manage that?

Stupidly had my head down trying to muster the energy to carry on and by the time I looked up it was too late, feel so stupid now cause it's not something I would usually do

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Glad you're ok ... poor bike

 

[ChrisV]

Oh dear. Is the bike a write off?

 

[Edwardoka]

Feel better soon. It's a real shame that you weren't wearing your helmet cam, the £250 from You've Been Framed could help buy a new bike

Well today I decided it was a great idea to cycle into the back of a royal mail hgv, forks on the bike are trashed, although that's what I was told as I haven't seen it since, nothing broken but my neck and shoulders and in a world of pain, helmet has a massive crack in the middle of it too.
Sadly my camera wasn't filming at the time so no footage to show you guys

Ooooo, sounds nasty. Glad you're relatively ok. You will be kicking yourself for not paying attention. I know from experience that it only takes a couple of seconds to go horribly wrong. Hope you're not too sore tomorrow and the bike isn't as bad as feared.

Some awesome Sustrans routes, but many of their routing decisions are truly baffling.

The section to the east of Cowie (76) is a ridiculous choice of route which would be a nightmare on a road bike. Much easier to follow the B9124.

Poor bike.

But seriously, hope you're OK.

Oofft! Sounds a sore one - GWS mate!

Is that the cycle path? Bit ropey that bit!

Wait, might be thinking of Fallin.

Could have been a lot worse; GWS Col!
A lot of people asking how the bike is. I find that a bit "bikeist" or something like that. As an HGV driver, I have to ask, how is the lorry?

been caught on that bit myself, my bike ended up a mess in mud

 

[Col5632]

Haha the lorry has a dent, strong painkillers are not agreeing with me and my dinner has just came back up again.

 

[Garry A]

The path behind Falling isn't a delight either, too many turnstile type gates.

 

[Louch]

Sounds like concussion,be careful through the night colin....stay up and search for. New bike

 

[Telemark]

Ouch! Get well soon, @Col5632
