Very happy! Obviously I am coming from a lead lined monster, but the Kinesis is responsive, but surprisingly comfortable. If you'd like a try of my bike I'd more than happily let you have a ride. It might be a bit small, but at least you'd have an idea. If your interested let me know.
VERY jealous, am away that weekend but have stayed in a hotel/castle on th eedge of the small loch next to loch Katrine a few times and would love an excuse to go back up and breakmy Ton cherry there!
Look forward to hearing the stories, seeing the pics and as I am in Kent may tie in with a family cycling/fishing holiday next year.

I'm quite bad when it comes to raising/ collecting sponsorship (especially the latter) but the registration fee is good and it looks a good route.

Of course you can, its looking good at the end of it that is the hard bit

Do I ever look good?
The problem is I don't have a huge amount of time to train between now and then. I'd have our own ride in May and possibly a couple of other rides myself, between now and then.
My ride history is about 65, possibly 70 miles, on last years PfS (includes getting there and back from home), the Stirling CC ride which was about 50 miles, but it was into a strong headwind for a significant part of it, and our recent 20 miler from Linlithgow. I did feel good after the Linlithgow ride (no stiffness at all) but it was a fairly relaxed ride (as it should be). Apart from that I just have my 10 mile a day commute. Is that enough tobe able to complete 100 miles without being a complete wreck?!
However, I am very keen to raise money for the hospice (if I am allowed to) and riding 100 miles is one of those distances that people would be willing to sponsor me for.
Hmmm.

Being the devils advocate, you have the base milage, it's not a race, you have a motive and because I will be away I will bang in £5 as an opener.

You commute further than I do and from what I saw of you riding you'll manage it fine.
OK then. As long as there is no problem taking sponsorship for another charity (I'm sure it will be fine as long as I hit minimum requirements for Action Medical Research) then I'm up for it!
So who else from here is up for the Trossachs Ton?!
(You'll get to see the demise of Magnatom!)
