Three of us kept the flag flying / candle burning in East Lothian; Coastkid, Stanfree and myself had two and a bit hours of riding trails between East Fortune airfield and the coast to the East - a good mix. A good ride as pretty much flat, but some cracking woodland singletrack.
Last half hour was in very heavy rain...
Innerleithen was quite incredibly wet 
But still brilliant, hope you guys had a good ride.
the beer in the pub was good. I got soaked riding there and back

Was a good wee run out tonight and unexpected seeing as I was supposed to be working till 7.45 . The last 4 -5 miles through the woods and roads were a blast to say the least helped by the amazonian downfall. Those woods lend themselves well to nightrides in the winter.
where i am found lurking through the dark months paul!...
Sneaky run through the Queen's back garden for me, then the pub via this weeks [url= http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Heriot+Hill+Terrace&daddr=cask+and+barrel&hl=en&geocode=Fb7pVQMdVzzP_w%3B&mra=ls&sll=55.96227,-3.195916&sspn=0.002369,0.004823&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=55.960384,-3.195069&spn=0.005273,0.020792&z=16 ]epic[/url] TBC route... Prestonpans 80/- FTW
respect due to pentlands, tweed valley and east lothian folk actually properly riding bikes.
cheers folks 🙂
Ow.
Aparently the big group heading up to Maidens as I was coming down were from an all-ladies club who're also doing ride-outs starting from Bonaly on a Wednesday evening. Wonder if that will boost the TBC/STW turnout even further? Of course they were man enought to actually go mountain biking in a little bit of rain, unlike the TBC/STW crowd...
I did notice a lot of ladies in the group but given my glasses were just as wet as the GoPro lens I hadn't noticed that they were all women!

That'll be the snacks.
That's the Hervelo group - they can outride us for sure. Proper podium types n everyfink.
That'll be the snacks.
Kettle chips are not dinner. When will i learn!!??
Epicsteve, it probably was the hervelo riders you saw as they were going out last night.
All these rides clash with my yoga class so I can never make any 🙁
Kettle chips are not dinner.
