who killed that wheel.............. ❓
looks like a good turnout too.
Chap called Weebradders. The chap standing on it. A nice sideways hop of about 4 ft onto rough tussocky bog.
I think the warranty claim will be interesting. Not fit for purpose?
Looks like another fab 'Coastkid Day Out(TM)'. Sorry I missed it 🙁
It were ace. Curry for dins soon as well so a firm top day right there.
and the home brew is good too, you guys should try it. Maybe next time eh?

looks like you guys had a great day out,i wished you lived round here nobody does anything like that were i live
Some great Photos , Once again Bruce you nailed It with the weather. Lets hope of a repeat for tomorrow , The taco'd wheel Is something else . Was that a nose dive into the Nature reserve .?
Give us a bell or text in the morning .
Its wheat beer...
Ooh - would love to try some of that sometime! I'm not too far away from you (not as close as Gary is) either - near Fordel services.
Andy, you can always kip at mine if you end up in a state again 😉
mollski. Get it organised, someone needs too do it why not you.
Pick a route, grab some mates, invite complete strangers of the internet, meet in a carpark, and go play in the woods/hills. Keep it chilled, social, have cake and make sure everyone knows it's a social laid back ride.
Sharki speaks the sense. Just get it done.
Indeed. You too can get lost in the muddy woods with a bunch of strange men you met on teh internet.
watch he dosnt bring a lenght of new rope GW 😉 
Stanfree i did text you, will be at your gaff around 8.30am...
sharky; great film of mark on his ass!
the wheel repair was worth the watching...some repair!
Diane your welcome up here anytime...this is a usual type rideout for us lot 😮
tis very satisfying, organising a ride and meeting all the people off here.
the stw northern chapter rides have been some of the best rides i have ever done..... 8)
we'll sort a wee run around saltoun woods or something and have a couple of pints at the end.
Yoda , Saltoun and Humbie woods , Glenkinchie , Pencitland , round Woodhall , Pencaitland via Winton house , New Winton woods then onto Butterdean then back to Saltoun .
Though thinking about It better started In pencaitland then you could get a beer in the wee boozer there and folk can park there cars.
Thanks Bruce - will keep an eye out - would be nice to meet some new folk - will see if i can drag Hels along some time too
stanfree - I have a loop that takes in all that ^^ and more.
starting from mine (not far from 'kinchie)..
fancy it?
Aye GW sounds goods thats sort of my local little loop but starting from Tranent , Though Its probably to short for a STW ride out . Im on hols this week so will probably be out about on the bike.
the route I was thinking is 20miles, add on a wee jaunt from ormiston to Carberry and it'd be over 30. prob less than a mile of it on road. just not sure I'd have enough fitness to guide at the front all the way round.
Todays ride was a massive 27km.....
some of us did 25km before the start
*smug*
Could make for a great night ride GW , Only Butterdean and the Kinchie trail suffer from waterlogging the rest stay pretty dry .
