This wednesday we will be trundling along the canal to the Bridge Inn at Ratho for a few drinks for Colin.

He is leaving the shoppe to enjoy his early retirement that he never actually started properly (lucky git).

So, KP’s, McCoys and IPA for wednesday supper!

Hybrids, tourers and commuters welcome. No need for any tyre below 50psi. We will leave the shop just after 6ish and head up to FtnBridge basin and ride from there.

I may even buy a round… maybe.

Will the pub quiz be on?

I might pop in for one either before or after I’ve been climbing, depends how late out of work I am.

Steady on old chap, that’s just not Scottish! 😯

I know, I know…

Racist.

🙁

Good luck in your retirement Colin, and remember; Onions never die, they just get dried up and shrivelled and sometimes a bit mouldy.

Yay! – I’ll get you at the shop if I’m out of work early or on the canal if not.

and that is all

Having been a loyal customer and holding druid in high esteem ever since I saw he needed 5″ of travel in the Pentlands, I’d love to be going, but I’m busy 😛

How long are you all planning on staying at the pub? I’m tting in kirliston at 7pm but would love a pint or two afterwards and it’s not too much of a detour.

SBZ – if his birthday was anything to go by we’ll still be there when you’re done; 19.25 yeah? 🙂

TBC – if you’ve got my bike ready by then, then I’ll come along.

Would be rude not to really. Will join you at the Lochrin Basin.

Sounds good, a tipsy ride along the canal, I better wear my wetsuit 😆
Will meet yous on the viaduct at…. 6.30?

that’s optimistic PG. By the time we leave and get up the road it’s more likely to be around 645

Shall we say Basin at 645 and viaduct 650?

Sad to say I can’t attend – haven’t had a drink for so long I’d just make a specimen sacrifice spectacle of myself anyway… Someone please take a go-pro along 😀

(Hope to watch the MAMILs disappearing before my very eyes sometime this year though…)

Viaduct at 6.50 it is!

If I’m feeling a bit better by tonight, i’ll meet you at harrison park.

I’ll be along at the pub later then, although haven’t quite worked out how best to wobble home afterwards.

haven’t quite worked out how best to wobble home

It’s an en-mass swin along teh canal is it not? 🙂

Ride back with TJ on your right so he goes in the drink before you to break your fall. Sorted.

Oh my god, I really can’t type today – hope it doesn’t affect my driniking ability, I need one today!

I might have t’missus with me – push her into the canal at your own risk

Sorry guys/Colin, my dad is ill and I am in Linclonshire with my mum… wanted to be on this trip too…

Not if you live in Balerno it ain’t.

You just have to swim home the looong way bombing off teh aquaduct 😆
