Class BB. I ride a 6" bike at Glentress so I'm no one to point and laugh...

A mate recently dislocated his shoulder on a canal path so I know they have their perils ๐Ÿ˜€

Think i have a few more guys that might be interested in joinin us.

I love explaining to my non-cycling friends that I spend my weekends meeting strange guys off the internet dressed in lycra.

Are you guys going to do Edinburgh To Glasgow this time ?

Id be up for that - bring my XC Race bike :mrgreen:

Perhaps a Edinburgh-Glasgow thread might be an idea ?

lol. Does sound a bit gay lol. As i said above think we need to decide closer to the time what direction we are going in. All wind dependant.

It's really easy to be honest. The distance seems massive but it's totally flat all the way. I was probably 70 miles door to door but I wasn't out of breath at any point and I'm a 15 stone lard ass.

I'd like to join this sometime but Saturdays are bad for me. I work either a Friday or a Saturday night every weekend until about 1am. So if it's a Friday getting up for 8 isn't easy, alternatively getting back in time for a 5 o'clock start on Saturday isn't going to leave me with much energy!

Maybe during the summer if anyone organises another one.

Whatever way we do it, it's only 45 mins on the train, and they're every 20mins that time of the morning on a saturday, have to check the times on a sunday (maybe every 30mins).

To be honest I was quite tired at the end, and my ass was sore from 6 hours spinning in the saddle (maybe down to my under-geared SS)

I'll start a fresh thread...
