Fantastic evening - passed loads of riders on our way back - most have been some of the guys from this forum. Be good if conditions were like that every week eh?

[b]Couldashouldawoulda [/b]that tag was me, i went up Puke hill for the first time and thus sitcom-esque situation at the homestead.

On another note, nowt makes me chunder and gets away so lightly so I got home pronto today and had another bash...less walking & less chunks on the heather.

It's quicker and less painful just to jog up Puke Hill with yer singlespeed. I haven't ridden my singlespeed much this year but plan to change that over the winter so mabies see you on a Wed night. Always enjoyed riding my singlespeed 32:16 in the Pentlands, anything smaller would be a right pain in the arse on the way out and back, and as I said if you can't ride up it then you're almost as quick just to walk up it.

Down the 'morrow then. Further to illumination, it's payday so pads and lube and bits to be purchased.

Pints it is, but only if you can tell me who does "Black Isle" on draft?

13th knows his beer. He is correct.

Also, Bennets at Morningside. Adam says so and he LOVES beer.

Black isle beer is brewed about 1 mile from where I grew up on the black isle, good to see others have fine beer taste too.
