Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[MikeW-71]

I've noticed a few websites doing the same, quite like the look of a giant defy

I think that's what @MikeW-71 has...

Yep, I have. In fact I have two, one in alloy, one in carbon. Love em both.

The alloy one is the first road bike I bought in 2012 and it's done a bit of everything, even light touring!

Reasonably light, solid components, comfy and responsive, what's not to like

What route are you doing? Anyone know if you can enter on the day?

Doing the 50 Mark. Family weekend in Dunkeld so don't want to be away too long. Don't think you can register on the day though. You could email them - kevin at malawifruits dot org dot uk

Thanks @Louch for email.

Doesn't look like on-the-day signup is available. IIRC they only had lists and timing chips.

I'll be doing the 100, but desperate to avoid being in le groupe de la lanterne rouge after last year

Thanks, won't have access to a car so best option will be to ride up again, do the 50 and ride back - will check the predicted weather first. When's your off time?

If its pissi g down I'm dropping down to 50 route.

@Fubar could get train to Perth station and use ride up to start as warm up,it's only a bump

Nah he just needs a piece of paper to sellotape to his stem which says "Stop looking at your stem you nitwit"

No-one noticed for 9 years?
Just goes to show what a waste of time bi-lingual signs are!

Full translation "Welcome to the Isle of Bute - People born here are gifted with an exceptionally large bhoid".
I'm off to the Island on the first ferry to claim a refund!!!

Who's doing HPC next weekend?

I signed up to it this morning. Doing the 50 route as doubt I could do the 100 at such short notice.
