Pedal for Scotland 2009

All good points Mr Pig.

I'll be giving the bike a quick once over tomorrow as I've been off it for two weeks.

The most important job is to try and get the talcum powder off the back wheel!

Does anyone know if you actually need to start at the offical location( Glasgow green) ie, do you need to log in before starting.

I am registered , have my number etc but was thinking of starting at home ( EK) and then meeting a mate at his house en route , he stays on Edinburgh road so it is on the official route.
Cheers

There is no login at the start, it is just a rolling start, so just join the masses as they go passed... or when you see the CycleChat jerseys

I will be around to say hi at the start but I am prob end up cycle on my own but will see what happens. Will aim to start with you guys but you will most likely find after a few miles I have disappeared far behind you

Not so fast MC (no pun intended). I'm aiming to be the slowest of the CCers and I've got the Cyclogs to prove it

Thanks for the tips Mr P. And to think I didn't know what a pelaton was two months ago

 

[JiMBR]

I'll be in a work team, but I'll be sure to say hi to the guys with the CC livery....good luck everyone...have fun!

 

[Mr Pig]

And to think I didn't know what a pelaton was two months ago B)

I didn't know what it was yesterday!

Just to add to Mr Pig's advice from yesterday, after my experience on Edinburgh to St Andrews this year, if you're going to clear your nose/throat, do it into the gutter, not the road side! I almost got covered in someone's 'grob', in Fife in June.

Not guilty, i was on this run and ensured that every gob was into the field/road on my left and well clear of any nearby rider, disgusting !

I think that I will do this ride on my hybrid or my old road bike. Not really that comfortable with having my best bike rattling around with other bikes on the back of a truck.

If I am being a little paranoid please shout out .

 

[Theseus]

SB, quite agree with you. This will be an outing for the hybrid.

 

[Mr Pig]

We took our bikes up to Calendar in the back of a van the other week. I was quite careful packing them in but still got a big scratch on my fork crown. No big deal but if I was a wanky roadie I'd be furious! ;0)

So am I the only muppet from CC doing this on an MTB?..

 

[JiMBR]

nope...I'm also a muppet B)

 

[ACS]

So are hybrid owners half muppets?

The body of a frog and the head of an animalistic drummer B)

The mind boggles

I resemble that remark !B)

Well leap over here then (punch line of a very old joke. I'll get my coat)

Being a Fifer, make sure it's yours and not somebody elses !
