Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Pat "5mph"]

Does 2 separate rides 400 miles apart on the same day count as a metric century?

I would say it does
You are jinxed for sure, it did not rain here in Glasgow all day, was quite a pleasant day actually, managed to do a wee bit of gardening after work, a wee drizzle started at around 7pm.

That figures. My train got in to Glasgow at 6pm. It was quite a nice evening, hence my decision to ride home despite having a ticket to Largs .

Midge season Stornoway has finally kicked off

Hope it's over by the time we get there at the end of the month

Forbidden or just daft?

I don't think it's forbidden but I wouldn't do it - though it is dual-carriage, it is a Sunday, might be other cyclists...

I'd rather negotiate a broken path though. I would point you back to Cramond but isn't that the way PFS comes in??

 

[Rasmus]

The A90 is perfectly cycleable all the way from the centre of town to Cramond and up to the offramp at the Kirkliston road - but not any further than that!

Done it - but missed out the curry bit, in favour of the Bridge of Weir chippy. I kid you not, I got rained on from Kilmacolm all the way to Largs. On checking the rain radar on RainToday.co.uk , I would appear to have been followed by the only rain cloud in the west of Scotland at that time. WTF is it with me and rain .
Anyhooo.....Because of said rain I gave up on reaching a metric century for the day, but as the rain has now passed and I am only about 5 miles short, I might have to go out again. Does 2 separate rides 400 miles apart on the same day count as a metric century?

You are Rob McKenna and I claim my five pounds.

Yes, looks like it.

The 'gale' season early October, they'll all be blown away

I had in mind the bit further down the page about being a rain god rather than that............


...but if you're admitting it.......

Edit; gives self a warning for being cheeky.

That IS forbidden - the signs say so...
