Hmmm… Think I’ll bail out tonight and head for a climb instead. Riding GT on Saturday hopefully if anyone fancies it. Probably an early aft ride to finish in evening sun and quiet trails.

It’s cause i aint coming isn’t it? You can’t bear to miss me and your world is now empty.

Blimey, congregations really are falling… Busy day here but fully intent on the 7pm rendezvous. After all, don’t want to disappoint Team Hervelo…

head for a climb instead

Now Jim, you know there’s plenty of climbing in them thar hills!

I was actually set on making this one for the first time in months, but then was given an invite to a lock-in at a shop workshop, which was too good an opportunity to miss.

Serviced forks and new bottom brackets ahoy!

Is anyone still going? I fancy heading out…

Might be a case of “see what I broke on my bike” however.

im,going,Stevenmenmuir,Alistair,Rob…er anyone else?, looks like outnumbered 2-1 by the girls again 😮 😉

Count me in. Unless you see an upturned green Chameleon along the canal towpath.

The shop by Bonaly is where? Just before the school?

Yeah about 200m down the hill from the school.

Thats the one – on the road up to the scout camp

yep just follow Scout camp signs, shop is half way up the hill on left,i will be there to catch the shop before 6.30pm so look out for you if your early 😮
EDIT…beaten again..im so slow 😮

Can I come round for tea? What I mean is, can I come in from your garden bushes.

Its the kids parents evenings tonight , but to be fair Im finding It harder to get motivated In the dark nights. Hopefully just a phase might need to find MTFU motivation for future weeks. 😮

jimmy – my back door is always open. fnar.

Don’t flatter yourself Mark – it’s really because I won’t be going…

😉

Just back in from my ride. Drier than expected, although I stuck largely to main paths. Grass is dew-y, and its pretty humid. Cold when not biking, but once warmed up, I was as sweaty as jimmy’s xtra-size jockstrap.

I’m out too. I have some rather urgent chores I have to attend to (the things you have to do for mates…..)

great ride tonight everyone,nice to meet more folk again and a nice finnish down poats glen and along the water of lieth…every week im up its worth the half hour drive each way for the banter and trails 😮
some pics…

Yeah, good ride, & not just for the successful climbing 🙂
Only got 2 not-2-blurred shots this time –

My turn for a snapped chain must be coming…

Yep – that was a real nice way to spend an evening especially as I thought I wasnt going to get out at all today.

Good to meet some new faces.

And Steven – you’ve managed to convince me that tea drinking is more dangerous than mountain biking!

Ron

A great ride out and very enjoyable. Black Hill was good and probably the last time this year we will be able to ride it. 🙁

Optimism Ant, will ride it again as long as it doesn’t rain 😐 Rob can you put that pic of me on Feckbook?
