Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Scoosh]

I'm trying to go the long way home through Rosyth but its a good bit busier than the direct route home

Why ? Been sent home early ? It's only Today at 09:03 from your post

Hmmm, I'm thinking what an attractive place Saltcoats would be for a lunch stop. 'Just have to work out a route there and back

@Col5632 was just thinking ahead for the important things, having arrived at work ... nothing strange about that!

You can still enjoy the pies without having to suffer Saltcoats. They have a branch in West Kilbride .
If you're serious about cycling Glasgow to Saltcoats, there is a good route which I did in reverse last week. Out of the city to Newton Mearns, then B769 to Stewarton, B778 to Auchentiber and Kilwinning, from there there is a signed cycle route to Saltcoats.

Alternatively from Auchentiber take B707 to Dalry then B781 to West Kilbride. Largs is only 8 miles from WK, and a better destination than Saltcoats IMHO..

And after you stuff yourself with pies, you can head up the road to Fairlie and take the Moor Road back to Dalry to make it a tie calorie-wise.
Just a bump, not a real hill

Thanks Brandane, a wee coast ride in the better weather would be worth thinking about. I've been down towards Troon and Ayr, but never really been tempted northwards yet. One to think about

First puncture of the year tonight, thankfully it was slow enough to allow me to get home and fix it

 

[Louch]

That puncture must be ashamed if it was slower than you......

Good news everyone !

@Col5632 is getting practice in fixing punctures - he's aiming to get it down to 20 mins before The Tour** !


EDIT
**which he may or may not be going on.

other Tours are available

in the comfort of his own home, no less

So on train home Tuesday noticed small mark on frame of bike, upon closer inspection tonight it's a chip. Not sure if I can complain or not, or should I have inspected it inch by inch when I collected?
