[Closed] Edinburgh Wednesday not theTBC evening ride

I would love to, but I can't 🙁

I'm not going to be your carrot this week.

I am going out with Jimmy.

But it aint a shop ride.

You going riding Jimmy? Bet its MAMIL again ain't it?

nope. off road.

Well thanks for the invite

This years standard answer - 'would love to, can't!'

Possible last chance before it turns [url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/5 ]mushy[/url] again... Got around on Sunday, even drier than before.

YOu are invited.

Meet you 7pm? Mincetastic - not been off road since wrist mishap.

Gonna see how work goes and might join yous. Was up on Sunday and it was super dry and dusty! TBC, you need to get up there while it lasts.

7pm at the wee shoppe? should be there

Yeah, if i'm there it will be the Bonaly shop. Don't wait for me though.

Tonights brief foray *waves to rob* has sealed the death knell for the singlespeed, so I'm out till I wrangle a new MTB (with gears) 🙁

Not that I was making many of these rides anyway, must try harder!

Not tonight for me but will be back in the fold next week. Tied up with a project in the garden which will finish tonight. Have a good one.....cheers, Grant

I'll be at Cargo @ 6.30. Think my cousin will be out tonight too.

Hopefully my legs will loosen off by then!

I'll be home too late to make it back out in time, but I'm planning a solo spin up to the Pentlands later on, so might bump into you all. Enjoy.

Think the only way I'm going to get better at pedalling up hills is by pedalling up more hills, so I'll be at Bonaly for seven. 🙂

Going to GT - bottom carpark for 7pm if anyone fancies it.

Hopefully next week

I'll hang around the canal at Harison Pk and pick up the Cargo crowd half sixish and be at Bonaly for 7.

I am in London but have fun

I took a dishonourable wound at dalbeattie so I'm out 🙁

might make it next week- hopefully

Just the five of us this week, or six if I count both of me 🙂

Some great bits of goat track that I've never ridden before and are presumably lethal when wet. Cheers for choosing the route TJ.
Pic was taken by the only properly wet bit we found 🙂

Jimmy and me went up too. But decided on non lamb scaring size group was best.

I am knackered

tbc - there were 5 of us and we waited for you.

Kept an eye out on my own 3hr jaunt, but clearly missed you all. I passed a gaggle of what were presumably the Hervelo ladies on the Water of Leith on my way home, but couldn't see the rest of you. Stunning riding out there this evening - glad I got another ride in before the forecast rain. Black Hill and Nail Trail were as dry as you will ever see them.

He hid and waited till you left 😛

We decided to head straight to Threipmuir as we wanted to catch the swimming first.

Sorry - didn't text. Phone was off.

Belated hello from the canal. Only recognised mustard in time to say hello. *is wrecked*

Is TJ wearing technical clothing?!...

I thought they were the work of the devil and a con!

and a helmet...

Claire (S.O.) is just up around Torduff walking the wean, 7 fire tenders parked further down at the parking strip... Public access stopped at the reservoir gate. Sounds like the rain will be just too late - [url= http://naturaldisaster.tweetmeme.com/story/4941153549/lbfrs-news-05-may-2011-large-scale-grass-fire-torduff-road-near-bonaly-the-pentlands ]Fire Service tweet[/url]

Hopefully, nothing too damaging 👿

Oh no, gotta feel sorry for the nesting birdies. I helped put out a fire at Bonaly reservoir last year and it was pretty scary how quickly it spreads and how hot it is. Kids who presumably lit it were in the trees near the scout camp with tennis rackets firing stones. Ranger said they have several call outs a week during the summer hols from kids setting the place on fire, eejits.

Need it for the light mount. The M6 bolt in my skull stripped its thread
