Hello burgers
Wed night sound good this week for the usual trundle?
Would be good to get more new faces out as well - anyone who wants to come, please come. Don't worry if you are too fast for us. You will be placed on Gate Duty and camera detail. 8)
No gate duty for me this week...working wed eve.
I should be up for this one...
Might have to miss Wednesday as I'm on A-friends riding duty on Tuesday evening. I mean B-friends... B-friends, yes thats what I meant. On Tuesday. A-friends Wednesday.
The Tri Centre have got a thing going on up there on Wednesday, mainly an open water swim event at Harlaw Reservoir, which my better half is doing but there's a bike thing that I was going to tag along with.
Might do this instead. 🙂
Should I worry if I'm too slow? 😉
Resin/Dave/Brian - more than welcome
You wont be too slow.
Mark/Colin
Cool! 🙂 Where and when?
3 options.
1. Meet at our shoppe at 6pm.
2. Meet at the Old Alfa Garage on Gorgie Road 6.40pm.
3. Meet at Bonaly General Store 7pm.
I'll need to run up to Harlaw first so Bonaly sounds the best option. I'll be needing my lights I take it?
I'll see how my week pans out and try to come along for this.
Resin, we didn't need lights last week but i'd bring them just in case.
Will do.
If I am together, organised and remember to charge my lights I may try to come along. That's a pretty tall order for me though.
I'm on a best endeavor to make it, was going to come last week but bloody work got in the way.
Most likley see you at the Alfa Garage.
Hi, I'm in Kirkcadly, Fife... wouldn't mind coming across to join you for a ride... only ridden in the pentlands once before... would be good to have a change of venue and ride with some new folks...
Lights????
Got a ride and curry planned at mine, if however it fails then I'll be along. I'll bring me camera.
.... What Mustard said... 🙄

Lights????
Sundown at 9 and rain forecast. A valid enough question I thought.
Cannae make Wednesday this week - something else to take care of.. Heading up tonight if anyone wants to double-up their hill-time!!
Bump-a-tron.
i'll make it though i'll have a 35 mile each way ride to do in between. Hope you guys wont be leaving me behind??
RDA; even if they did leave you behind you'd still catch them up, pass them laughing on the steepest climb, ride home and still be first to post up on this thread [i]after [/i]the ride...
Resin - nae lights needed (apparently).
Looks like I'll be there with a mate. Might be ten or fifteen mins late but I'll catch you up.
You shouldnt need lights. We didnt last week...
are we gonna need a fast group and my normal group? 😀
I used my lights tonight at 9pm. Darker in the woods.
I remembered to charge my lights! So let's see how work goes tomorrow and what the weather's like in the evening...
i'll make it though i'll have a 35 mile each way ride to do in between. Hope you guys wont be leaving me behind??
only joking, wont really make it tomorrow night. I'm working although i do plan to join you 1 of these days
Plus thats insane miles to do on a MTB
I may be fit but i'm not stupid 😛
Batteries are charged, I'm bringin em anyway. 😉
(apologies for minor hijack - TBChain, stoopid question... any chance the steel fork that came off my chrome mtb is still kicking around your basement? doubtful I know, + I should've kept it after swapping, but worth asking...)
Mmm unlikely. We recycle all metals with The Bike Station. Had 2 pick ups minimum since you were in. I will hae a look anyways tomorrow.
Probs with your fancy new ones?
We do have some basic steels in anyway if you need one quick. Cheapish too I think.
Might actually make this one, was going to head down to glentress but won't be making that now. Hmm, Soul is in bits, is 6 inches of travel appropriate for the pentlands or will I be dangerously underbiked for the highly technical terrain? 
Probs with your fancy new ones?
Only problem is I am incapable of assessing suitable components for bicycles... Should've just got a new headset for the old fork. But will be good to have the carbon forks to stick on the HT now & again, or maybe the pitch 8)
Might nip down for a perusal of your forkage on Saturday. Ta.
I should make it - see you at the wee shop at 7.
I am hoping to get finished up in time, will be at Alfa garage if i make it.
Cheers
If I make it I'll be at the Alfa garage, the Bonaly shop or somewhere inbetween depending on how together I am.
I'm out in the Pentlands this evening but need to get out earlier - hope to tag along for a bit if I see you all out on the hills.
Sweet...!
Lookin good for an early finish! 8)
I'll see you at the old garage for 18.40.... unless it starts moyin' it doon between now and then.
Thomo.
I'm coming, but not sure i'll make 6 at shop, i'll try and catch up with on WoL path
cheers

Good ride folks! Sorry for vanishing at the end, I was so annoyed at my rickety plank bridge being knocked down, and so surprised to find the plank on the shore half a mile away, I[i] had[/i] to go back and put it up again
Ahh so you were Northwind... nice to meet you at last. We did the whole 'real name' thing at Harlaw - should have got the code names instead.
Great ride people. I am pleasantly tired and looking forward to next week. Might see if we can get an away game somewhere...
Top puncture FAIL goes to Mustard. He knows what he did.
Great spin guys - thanks Mark for the organisation. I missed the "real name" bit - away looking for the remains of a bridge 🙂
Big vote here for an "away game" and if it goes ahead I can provide some transport.
top ride out lads! Just hope Tom's missus doesn't kill him when he got back!
