Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Louch]

This can only be held on Arran, and for @Rasmus to arrive via longship

 

[Telemark]

Moving day today, and I am officially no longer appropriate for posting in this thread :-)

400 miles of motorway, with massive rainshowers and even bigger queues on the M6. It's the longest I've ever driven in a day, and I hope it will be many years before I have to do it again.

All the best for your new life, job & last but not least cycling 'down south'! You seem to have taken our summer away with you. You'll always be a honorary member of CC Ecosse, please do pop in here frequently and let us know how you are getting on!
What's this strange wet stuff that's coming along horizonally outside?

or

- or both ?

Best of luck for the future @Rasmus - don't be a stranger!

Plenty of good riding down there too

Dark nights are sneaking back in, had to put the lights on the bike knight

Definitely don't have to live north of the border to be involved here. I should know

I think it's called summer

Good luck with your move and new job @Rasmus, as others have said don't be a stranger

 

[Rasmus]

Thanks for the kind words everyone, and worry not - I will be back in Scotland at some point.

Having left academia, I will likely actually be taking the holiday I am entitled to from now on - not many better ways to spend some of it than north of the border on a bike.

- will it survive without you ?

So you must have a real job now ... one that pays real £££ ??

I see an N + 1 or 2 in your future ...

Every success to you and strength to your legs !

All the best Gandalf er Rasmus - my very first CC Ecosse ride Round the Forth with you, Scoosh, Colin, Stewart, John (and others) seems a VERY long time ago, yet you don't appear to have aged at all?!?

 

[Scoosh]

Nah - he's still a young whippersnapper ... or should that be whippet ?!?

 

[Scoosh]

Can we say what we like about him, now that he's gone ???

After years spent in the pursuit of sheer speed, up to and including 20kph, I've decided in the face of advancing years to go for 'comfie' instead. Please meet my new shiny shiny sparkly Jamis Quest Comp
It features a Reynolds 520 steel frame, carbon forks, and a Sora triple with a 11-28 cassette. Haven't had a proper ride on it yet, but it promises to be so comfortable that there's a real danger I may nod off!

And yes, I've been thinking and planning so much for it, I haven't had time to cut the grass.

Congrats on the new arrival @GBC
Don't forget the mudguards

Lovely looking bike in the best colour
