Pedal for Scotland 2009

I take it there's no Tete this year either? He doesn't seem to have been around on CC for quite a while, which is a real shame.

I got a Cycling Scotland News through today and I see that Danny McAskill will be doing a stunt show at the end of the PFS ride.

He & his team did one last year too at the finish - it was just that no-one knew who he ws back then. He'll have a deservedly bigger audience this year, I'm sure!

 

[Mr Pig]

I didn't do it last year and to be honest I usually just want to get into a car and go home by the end.

We just wanted to get along the road to the pub for a well-deserved pint or two last year!

I just want to get home and crash, in that order ;0)

Looks like it might just be me joining you this year. My mate's not up for it. Usually the other way around, he's always bending my ear about this 100mile ride he does each year. Unless the weather is similar to today, in which case I'm staying home ;0) Out for a couple of hours this morning but it really isn't big fun cycling in a cold, wet headwind.

I've signed up for this. PfS was the first cycling event I ever did (last year) and I really enjoyed it. I'm going to try and beat last years time though so I haven't signed up as part of CC. Might see some of you along the way.

Yeah, should be, but what will it be?

Someone said that everyone is going to ride together but I don't see how you can do that. Roadies are so much faster than everyone else and then you've got those who've not done much cycling who'll be slower again. It's a nice idea but...

 

[pickup1980]

[Dayvo]

Mr Pig! The famous grouse!

We managed it last year, even with H"lance armstrong"B (always wondered what the "la" stood for!).

The CC Central Scotland rides have been the same - social rides. Yes, some may have a bit of a blast of speed every now and again for fun and get ahead, but no-one's left behind. Those who get too far ahead alway stop and wait for the rest to catch up.

That's very good, I'll try not to keep everyone waiting ;0) Must be hard for a roadie going that slow.

I'm a commuter that bought a road bike last April. I'm not exactly speedy (especially compared to others), especially since I'm not far off 16st
