Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Edwardoka]

Anyway, don't @Edwardoka and @Col5632 have bikes to ride instead of talking up something 8 year olds do then never do again?

What, like cycling?

Cycling is a sport, camping is just sado machosism ....oh wait

 

[Louch]

Today was sado machosism. Slow puncture at mile 31, pump destroyed another conti valve, two hour wait for a train at gleneagles station with an empty stomach, ten quid for two inner tines, tyre came off rim, wouldnt re inflate, had to floor a junkie who was out his face and lunged at me, borrowed a track pump at the train station, 6 miles later tyre came off rim again, @tug benson taxi to the rescue and eventually home.

Now eating a McDonald's and looking at new tyres, whether to go tubeless, and a new pump , and planing on eating dust for a month to afford it

I might not be worthy of your Arran rides but after the first instance of the above mentioned destruction I would not have set out on a long ride without first having replaced the pump, the conti inner or both.
And I would have made sure at home that the new pair work!

It's been intermittent the issue. Don't get punctures that often for it to be an issue. Purchased some specialized

Now if you'd been in the Scouts, they go camping(ages 9 -17) you'd have been prepared.

If I need a knot in my inner tubes, I'll give the scouts a call. I was too busy marching around in the boys brigade

Sheepshank does work on an innertube. Don't ask.

 

[Louch]

Does sheepshank not involve Wellies and velcro gloves ?

Big southerly wind tomorrow, if anyone is going out riding.

*ponders*

 

[Louch]

Lots of rain too tho

Looks like a weather enforced rest day. To be honest I'm quite glad as I've done a lot of miles recently due to the fact I'm "between jobs"

Tayside Challenge five weeks today if anyone fancies it.

Can relate to the feeling: was glad that my Belles ride was cancelled today, as I am deid lol did 150 miles from Monday to Thursday, an awful lot for me!
