Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Scoosh]

Thinking about it, it's unlikely, as I'll be in Dundee Thursday/Friday, and I don't fancy travelling all the way back from Dundee on Friday only to turn around and go back to Perth on Saturday I'll see how I feel closer to it.

You'll probably feel better as you get closer to Perth ...

Arran is closer, cheaper and MILF'ier

I'm bored of Arran. I know that's some kind of heretical statement, but I've been to several awesome places by bike this year and clockwise-around-Arran-stopping-at-Machrie-tearoom doesn't really rate that highly compared to the best of them, but HPC has been wildly different both times I've done it.

Steady on, I know his pun wasn't that great but why on earth would you report poor @Scoosh???

Well, it finally happened. The segment I created 2 years ago, giving me my sole climbing KOM, has been taken. Clearly, it was not sufficiently obscure.

One of youse lot have to head out to Port Glasgow and reclaim it for CC Ecosse. Just watch out for the neds - and the massive potholes.

@Bobby Mhor , it's down to you! That's just up the hill from where I used to live, in my Barratt house. No jokes about STD's please. I must be the only person who bought a property in the 80's and LOST money on it .
Edit... Just noticed that a mate of mine is in 4th place on that segment leaderboard. He's pretty quick for a 54 year old, but I'd never admit that to his face .

@phantasmagoriana is QOM, goes without saying

I do hope to make it North of the border with the bike next year - but Port Glasgow is not high on the list of possible destinations!

Can't get comfortable on the bike again. Outside of shin/ quad in agony again today, left hand sides fine so reckon saddle heights ok, just can't get right cleat in right position I think. Any other ideas?

Does anyone do the Whitelees Windfarm Trails ?
It's more MTB/ Gravel bike territory,so I would imagine notta lotta people on here would.
I go there all the time,and with 60 + miles of track,there's plenty cycling.

Online diagnosis is difficult, I've never heard of cleat alignment causing quad pain.
It's probably a strain but IANAD - go to a sports physio.
