I'll drive over from Prestwick for an evening ride at some point, probably in May after exams are done. It's only just over an hour when the M77/M8 is quiet, but only if TJ, Northy, Jimmy, 13thfloormonk and Tenacious Doug turn up.
I ain't doing 140 miles for no #bighitters.

Stop it! #blushing
I might make it tomorrow morning. House viewings might get in the way, though if child distraction is needed.
There's a chance i'll make this...no promises though!
Mind if I come along (peak STW of 10 years ago - 26er Ragley Mmmbop)?
My plans have changed but I'm sulking at not being included in the big hitters list. Nobeer is dead to me now.

How do you think I feel? 😮
There's only 1 Big Hitter in that list anyway
what are the trails like we are going to be doing? deciding what bike to bring.
A pre-meet meet at Canal basin at 9.15?
Have fun, would've liked to come but I appear to have signed to a course to teach me how to be enduro.
Forgot it was someone in the office's leaving drinks tonight, so writing this whilst I still can... will be along depending upon my state in the morning. TJ - will PM you my mobile, will text when/if I head off, if you hear nothing assume I'm worse for wear... Now, back to the bar..
Any idea about intended route? I need to stay in until about 10:45 but can be in the Pentlands about ten minutes later.
FYI - the Nail Trail is pretty sloppy at the moment, best avoided.
Hope it's a good ride chaps.
Poah - easyish trails I think - social ride No DH bike needed. Dunno how we will get on. I am old unfit and will be on a fatbike
Alisdair - PM me for a number to text when you are free. - sort of planning to warm up around the reservoirs then up maidens then see how we are doing - aiming to do short loops based around maidens, phantoms, green cleuch black hill scalextrix clubbidean - not in that order obviously but staying maininly on the east side. If legs go well then over to sherie knowe and the singletrack over that way then back over
All good. Don't know Sherie Knowe per se but looking forward to it. Will be on 35mm tyres as that's what gets there and back quickest.
west side not east side doh!
Changing of the guard Cynic_Al! Time for a feisty new breed of big hitter who posts predominantly about squeeky disc brakes... 😉
Would love to get out for an evening or morning ride, just need about two month's notice... June anyone?
~Well that was fun! More than a bit dreich out there but highly entertaining.

We must do it again - more notice if we can obviously but its like herding cats around here!
13th - I am busy for june!
I'm the big hitter.
I'll maybe come out sometime. Got a Friday morning plan next week that might involve some pentlands bits on a loop from Colinton, Balerno, Greens, Flotters, Bush, Roslin, and back round in a circle.
Today wasn't possible. Kids innit.
That was ace. Thanks TJ for organising.
(Glad my brakes lasted as long as they did. The back one went too on the way home necessitating a controlled dismount by way of a bush.)
I loved it, it was a well chosen route with great people 😊 Cheers tj for organising it, I'm definitely up for another one
Good job tj!

🤔
Next time I’m up at the outlaws' (Roslin), I hope it coincides with a ride. Smashing
Good work TJ, glad you all enjoyed the scenery and some the bushes 🙂
