Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Scoosh]

Happy training .....

I though the point of training was that it is not meant to be 'happy' - you know "train hard, fight ride easy"

 

[Telemark]

Ah, but audaxing isn't racing, so the training can be "happy", in my book anyway

 

[Fubar]

I wonder if @Fubar could be persuaded to ride to the start and home from the finish.

(awaits gunfire)

Ha ha, that DID cross my mind but a) I don't think wifely permissions would stretch that far and b) it WOULD kill me.

@Fubar @Edwardoka - make yourselves known at Innerleithen on your way back south . I offered to help out at Edinburgh, Innerleithen or Eskdalemuir, and have just found out where I'll be based . I reckon the hardest bit for riders from the far north will be turning round when you are so close to home ...
Happy training will you be asking CC Ecosse to keep you company during the next few months?

Thank you I/we will... if I am still alive... if we are still together... if I make the controls on time...

Training at the moment consists of "ach it's more than 6 months away" - not sure what will happen once 30 January passes me by!

Say hello to me at Brampton

February 1: "Ach, it's only February. It'll be fine"
March 1: "WAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

Hence why I've tentatively signed up to the Other Insane Challenge to give me some monthly impetus... none of which is in evidence as of yet

I can't wait to read about your LELs!

ELELE That would probably kill quite a few people, if it was with the same time constraints as a "mere" LEL

 

[Fubar]

Say hello to me at Brampton

Will do!

 

[mcshroom]

And me at Thirsk. I decided I wasn't up for the training I would need to do so I'm volunteering

 

[Col5632]

You pair are mad, but wish you every luck in the training

 

[ChrisV]

Anybody done the No Excuses sportive on 27th or 28th March? Pay £35, do the ride and get a full refund!

Quite fancied the 46 mile one.

MOD EDIT: Link added.

Is it worth the £10 entry fee and is anyone going?

I haven't been back since the first one, back in 2011.
It was a complete waste of time and money IMHO, and enough to ensure that I won't be going back unless I hear some positive reviews about more recent shows. So far, I haven't.
