Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Pat "5mph"]

... he was too busy looking at the luggage ... and wondering why there was a need for a kitchen sink ... [or so I am led to believe ... ]

We needed a kitchen sink to wash up after our dinner

Och, you're over analyzing.
Once I wore one on tour because I thought it would reassure @Fubar.
Well, the truth is I really thought he would blow his heid off if I'd showed up without one

.....And I thought I was the one who was weak willed! What age are you? Tell him to go and do one!

@Fubar is a gentleman and a kind leader concerned for the welfare of his group.
It was my assumption only: I turned up sans H on the following tour, he did not bat an eyelid

Hit the nail on the head with your final comment, I have not nor would I ever stipulate that as a requirement no matter my own opinions!

And you wonder why I'm not organising any more tours...

I guess my tongue in cheek remark doesn't come across too well in print!

Yeah, well, you could have told us in advance about not remembering the way out of Glasgow, about not having your Garmin, we could have all met at the SECC, taken the path (suitable for skinny tyres) to Balloch, then on to Callander via the Dukes pass
Never mind, it was an experience!

I knew the route out of Glasgow, I just couldn't remember exactly how we got onto the Kelvin Way from where we were. And yet we still got onto it!
It was less a matter of being lost and more a matter of losing confidence in my own abilities
Shame about the closed road driving all north-bound crap drivers onto the totally-not-controversial-at-all-road out of Bearsden

It's full now. Plus, I found the expected problem I have with such events ........

Even the famously lidless Ed will don the polystyrene crapwear if the event mandates it. (Don't tell anyone though!)

And you wonder why I'm not organising any more tours...

You forgot to wear your head-bashing-against-wall-helmet, @Fubar. Consider this your first health and safety warning.

 

[Edwardoka]

You two can just ride that Bleach-nan-baar mountain for quickness.

P.S. EVERYONE is riding up the Bealach na ba, or no-one is. Them's the rules

 

[Fubar]

Sorry, I think I'm just a touch over-sensitive after the pasting I got last time out.

 

[fimm]

Why not an expedition to ride the Bealach na Ba? Train to Inverness, 60 miles to Torridon (youth hostel for 2 nights), loop over the Bealach is here, that's another 60 miles, back to Inverness the next day. So you don't have to take your luggage over the Bealach.
Is 60 miles a day for 3 days too much? You want some accommodation a bit west of Inverness to shorten the ride to Torridon a bit; and then you could take two days to make a loop to get back.

Hey, more tours we do, more we get to know each other, no?
I barely see any CC Ecossers but on tour, takes time to get to know folks!
So: first tour I came with H, second tour the H was mostly on top of my panniers, third tour no H

Has this been the year of fewest cc eccose group rides? I bought a small backpack a few weeks back to try a one night "tour" at some point. Have three weeks off before end of the year so may go adventuring

Yeah cause I was about the only person organising them

Them is plural, you organised one lol

just getting back on bike will be enough. Still getting tenderness on outside of knee with 3 weeks plus off

 

[Col5632]

Maybe I'm thinking of Xmas nights lol

 

[Col5632]

How is everybody? I've forgotten how to cycle again, might actually start going to the gym soon lol

 

[classic33]

If anyone else wants to organise one, as always, I'm happy to act as deputy, map plotter, domestique and mobile road sign.
I won't ever take the lead, though, not after the absolute debacle of the Glasgow feeder ride.
I'm constitutionally incapable of decisive leadership in the event of a crisis.

Got a No Entry sign you could borrow!
