I'm sure you'll be welcome to join up with the CC team for PfS (usually led by the nationally-famous MAGNATOM . There's a link, earlier in the thread, to the meeting point on Glasgow Green - it'll be the place where 2,000 people, from 800 teams, have all arranged to meet each other ....

It's actually where 2000 people come to spend a penny (it's ringed with Portaloos)!

The legend is definitely bigger than the man (and it is a pretty small legend!)

Welcome pickup1980. It doesn't matter if you have one post or 10,000 posts. Your now a Cyclechatter and it would be great to have another member on the ride!

 

[Mr Pig]

this is my first big outing, looking foward to the atmosphere.

That's what makes it, you're never alone and there is always someone slower than you! ;0)

Welcome to the forum. Having thousands of cyclist all around you helps keep you going, there is always something to see, people to say hi to. Try to get out maybe three times a week between now and the ride, maybe fifteen mile rides and as many hills as you can find. On the day eat chocolate, bananas and power drinks and you'll be fine :0)

Corrected that for you, well he is (in his heid)...

Oddly enough, last year we expected there to be lots of other teams meeting up at the same place on Glasgow Green, but there weren't and it was really easy to find each other. Which was just as well as at that stage none of us had ever met before...

Sorry to disappoint you folks, but I'll not be present at this year's PfS!

Combination of work, tight deadlines and silly flight prices will keep me here in Norway instead of enjoying myself in your company!

2010 maybe!

But have fun, and I look forward to seeing Mag's 2009 video next August!

Now that's a shame - I even have the pedals oiled up for you

Still, I'm sure there are some good rides in Noroway (o'er the foam) - Scottish literary reference there

 

[Dayvo]

Keep them oiled for next year (the pedals, not the CC peloton!)

See you next year!

Here's a wee road to have a pootle on!

(not for the lack of Dayvo, but for the loss of the person who was going to cough up for the first round in the pub afterwards... )

I´ll make up for it next year! I promise (and I haven´t got my fingers crossed behind my back!)

Send the money over to Mags for this year, so he can flounce up to the bar and look like he's being generous with his own money.

Was on the road down to Kirkliston tonight and noticed the signs going up toadvise other road users of possible delays due to PdF on 13.09.09, getting excited now !

That's a shame Dayvo . I was looking forward to leaving you in my dust this year .

Truth be told I am on me hols now (visiting relatives, down south), so I won't have been on my bike for two weeks by the time PfS comes around. So I'm looking forward to the CC peleton carrying me around the course!
