Thursday evening fine,meet at pub car park again?

Aye.
What time? (I’m free from 6.30)

Sounds good to me , See you both there.

I recon I can go on thursday night too. What about Saltoun Woods? it will be pretty muddy but its pretty good fun.
I’m hopefully going out on wednesday night with a mate as well, so I’ll be able to scope out the tracks. Everyone is welcome to join us.

7pm (ready) at car park then head up to Saltoun? 😮

sounds good. We can head through pencaitland woods then through saltoun estate to saltoun big w
oods if folk prefere that to the road? Anyone want to come out on wednesday too?

Should probably be there!

Aye, I’d rather stay off road as much as possible.
With 5 of us hopefully it’ll be faster moving so we could maybe venture further afield after Saltoun woods.

see you all at 7.00

Is 7pm the earliest we could start? Just wondering!

im home 3.15pm so happy to go with the flow 😮

I’m home around 5 on thursday, i’d only need time to get some food in me as I live falling distance from the pub. No takers for a ride on wednesday as well as thursday?

[Getting a bit sick of glentress and the pentlands!!!]

Ungrateful Git 🙂

I’ve recently departed Edinburgh for Swindon and the disappointing array of mountain biking on offer here has me crying when I read your post

Seem to have some kind of disease / cold thing going on – but if I’m feeling good by Thursday I’ll be along 🙂

just got in from a wee nightride, there were a few boggy/damp bits but in the woods a lot of it is surprisingly dry 😀 had to remove quite a few fallen branch/trees from the trails I rode.
The Tyne and another wee river in another wood are pretty high so I cut a new trail to go round a (usually dry) water crossing.

Andy, I can be at the pub ready to leave at 6.30 if it suits everyone else too?

G, weather forecast for tomorrow is dry so that could sort the trails out even more! 😀
I recon I could make 6.30 too.
G – Do you wrap the batter for your light in a wee bag or anything?

I can make 6.30 too

Im still up for this as desperate to see some Of Gary’s trails , so I will be there unless It’s totally blowing a gail. Today looks like the best weather of my holiday week so heading up the Pentlands for a wee scout bout and take some photos. So I will see you at 6.30 tomorrow.

G – Do you wrap the batter for your light in a wee bag or anything?

I hate bar mounted lights.

😉
but if you have a battery pack it’s always a good idea to keep it as waterproof as you can and keeping it in a secure bag will prob stop it scratching your paint badly (you have a steel frame don’t you)

coastkid – can you make 6.30 too?

im off work with the lergy GW so sitting tomorrow out 🙁
Sunday is still on though as cold improving daily! 😮

oh.. nightmare! 🙁
I’m not free this weekend 😕

I’m still not sure if I can make sunday or not.
G – we meeting at the Winton at 6.30?

yeah 6.30 Thurs @ the Winton
me, Mike, Andy, Paul & Stu?
Stu, do you know where you’re coming?

Ps. that light above ^^ is about £25-30 off DX with a charger and a couple of batteries.

Which light? You got a wee linky for it?

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12060

5 modes sounds too many (and it is) low/med/hi/strobe/sos. the last two you won’t need (hopefully 😉 ) and you prob use Med most (they do a 2 mode too but being only high or low there’s no middle ground)

you’ll need a charger and some protected batteries, bodge a sweet helmet mount and that’s it. 😉

Looks pretty good. I’m interested to see what TJ’s recipe looks like too. If you’re bringing both yer lights out tomorrow it’ll be good to see your setup.

i hear there is only 1 pub in pencaitland so i should work it out 🙂

DX 12060 torch here too! also have a hope HID which i never bother using as i prefer the DX torch!

I went out last night for a wee pedal with a mate.

The woods were pretty muddy but it was good fun. my first time round those woods at night. I struggled a bit with the mud but hopefully the arrival of new tyres with sort this.

Just been out with the Dog and fair to say the weather is pretty awful , Are we still going out?.

Aye, why not?

most of it’ll be under cover of the woods

Cool was going to cycle to Pencaitland but I think Ill take the car . 😳

Talking of which, Mike, had a look at your GPS thing, did you get a lift to Saltoun? 😆

my wee gps programme crashed and i only noticed then. We had went through saltoun hall, honestly!

I’ll be there – looking forward to it!

is it half six or seven?

It’s just after 5

HTH

is it half six or seven?

We’re going for 6.30pm – gonna be grim weather I’m guessing!

druidh – ho ho ho 😀

Wet run tonight, but good fun lads.
Here’s what my gps thingy on mp phone came up with.
