Make sure the car you leave in actually belongs to you in that case.

Looking forward to this run. Edinburgh to Glasgow tomorrow, mainly along Union/Forth & Clyde canal. Overnight in Glasgow (Plan A: Proms in the park, Plan B: pints of heavy). Glasgow to Edinburgh with PFS on Sunday.

That's a nice run. Done it before? the section around Croy is very rough, hard on a road bike if that's what you're using. They've put lights in the tunnel too, still scary to ride through! ;0)

So has anyone else had a text from PfS?!

I'll be taking my go-faster to PfS. I'm not too bothered about the odd chip. In fact a chip would mean the bike will weigh a little less....

Anyway, the thought of doing the route again on my lead lined bike is the stuff of nightmares!

I'll be doing it too - I'll look out for Cycle Chat jerseys. I don't have one - and I might melt if i wear my YACF buff/snood/thing, if the weather forecast is right, but if I recognise anyone I'll say hi!

And yeah, I got the text: "have a gr8 ride!" Hmm, thx.

Yep - emails in the last week and a text earlier tonight.

Just finished giving the bike a clean / lube / gear re-indexing in preparation for Sunday. Additionally I've been trying to repack my saddlebag to make sure I can fit my camera in there. Got to get a few good snaps of the day

Yeah I got the text to...

Starting to get nervous about it (I know it seems nothing to you veterans of PFS) and really worried I am the last person crawling over the finish line having been over taken by every kid on the ride!!

Bike has been washed (so HonestMan does not refuse to put it on his carrier with his shiny bike ) and it is as ready to go as it will be. At least the squeak that appeared during the ride home has disappeared now!

Don't worry about squeaks - my legendary creaking seatpost will drown yours out if it reappears!

Most of the veterans only did it for the first time last year, and prior to that we'd never ridden more than 10 miles in one go - so you'll be OK. Some workmates of mine did it last year after being on a bike for the first time in 20-odd years just twice a few weeks before PfS. They were nowhere near last either!

Will be doing it slowly with four children im tow. Does anyone know when Danny MacAskill will be doing his bit? I would love to see it but suspect we will be arriving too late.

 

[goo_mason]

If anyone meeting riding with the CC mob wants a contact mobile number for either me or Magnatom, please PM either one of us.

That way if anyone who's supposed to be there can't get along in time, they can phone one of us and let us know.

Sorry - I've no idea. I think he may be there for quite some time, doing demos at various times, But don't hold me to that....

 

[Backache]

Thanks for the info, won't be riding with cc as with the children we will be slow but good luck to you all.
