Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Edwardoka]

You no coming to Peebles on Saturday then .

A pox on the software behind this forum and it's lack of granular thread alerts!
I had no idea the Peebles ride was back on this weekend.

 

[Louch]

Didn't think we had confirmed as this weekend being on sorry. I'll be in touch

I suspect that after this, Mr. Col will find it more difficult to get permission by Mrs. Col to cycling

And you would be right, she worried about as it was without me ramming into a hgv with my head lol

Sure I saw a CC Jersey on the bridge tonight - around 4:30, heading south as I was going north, any ideas? No-one I recognised, @Shut Up Legs??

Down in Peebles for TOTB and bumped into @ShooglyDougie @MikeW-71 and @Louch outside the chippy - think Dougie was leading them astray, they were a long way from Gorebridge!

My dad has been to the police station to pick up my bike, sounds like the front forks are snapped and the tyre is off the front wheel but no other damage, need to look into if and how much it will cost to get it fixed! Does anybody know the procedure for claming it against the house insurance?

I'll be there; errm subject to.....
1. The weather, and
2. Work. I've just done a night shift with not a lot of notice and it was a good wee earner (well, by my current standards ), so if the chance arises again I'm afraid it takes priority!

You will need to phone them up, state what happened , and they will talk you through it. Did you declare bike on your insurance? Some companies don't cover automatically. Given cost of btwin are you maybe better off not using it than claimi g against Ouse insurance in your first year? Does your insurance have an excess.

Also do u have insurance for when you are on the bike in case post office come looking for the cost of their repair? That's one of the biggest reasons I have my British cycling membership to cover any damage I may ever do to another vehicle.

The bike is declared on the insurance, because HBOS gave us the first year for free we took everything we could, the excess is £100, going to phone them tomorrow! Police said the post office van never said anything about insurance, might look into cycling insurance just incase in the future
