Missed it tonight but vow to finally do a bikechain wednesday night Pentland ride. Heading up the Pentlands tommorow morning though. Just out of interest what was your route as maybe going to try heading out the Nine mile burn trail for the first time and looking to do something other than my normal route.

Lol at empty traksuit.

Nice bowl of cornflakes, half a soreen with EU butter mountain and a brew make the feeling go away. Oh and an ibuprofen chaser too.

How the hell did you lot get home without lights?! it was getting dusky on my way back (and I didn't find my battery at the top of Harbour Hill...).

What a turnout, and did anyone get the numbers of those lovely ladies? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Excellent. Fabby to see the Pentlands so dry and dusty. I missed the chat about the plank bridge though......

The Uglipla could handle a few riders and bikes - especially if I fit the towbar on too.

We passed them your number Kit. They didn't want any of ours-just yours.

How do you do it?

I go over the top of H Hill 1 - 2 times a week Kit - will keep eyes open; is it a big, strap-on type that you lost? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Northwind's plank bridge was on the wikkid awsum (and rad to the max) bit around Harlaw that you refused to ride...

Good ride, though I must work out how to fit my old Lumi light's battery pack onto the Anthem frame. ๐Ÿ™‚ I'm glad I had my Joystick with me too.

15 all in. We rode the fort singletrack at Clubbiedean, up Maiden's, along past Loganlea and down Black Hill. Very relaxed route, was good in such a big group.

I'm up for it, but it will be another best endeavor. Work starts to get a bit hectic at this time of year.

That's if I can get my bike to stop falling apart, and maybe sort those skillzzz! ๐Ÿ˜†

Had a great night last night, cheers for showing a lone Weegie around your playground, met some top folk too.

Y'all tore me a new one on the climbs mind you. I was like a burst couch when I got back to the g/f's. At least I kept pace on the downs so I don't feel too bad. ๐Ÿ™‚

I'll make an effort to do it again sometime in the future. Might be up for the GT thing.

Sounds like I missed a gem ๐Ÿ™

I'm up for some GT-age next week. OR DumYat hill. In sunset... oooo suit you sir.

Have motor-wheels for me +2. Also have a fresh new steering rack, so all contributions towards my fit-to-burst credit card gladly accepted for a lift...

Glentress or something

That'd be cool; if I can go, I'll confirm early next week.

Next week sounds good to me! I can carry 2 others (bikes on the roof carriers). Mark - I'm happy to help with organisation if that helps?

I wouldn't get to GT until about quarter to eight on a wed, might be able to get down a bit quicker on a Tues or Thurs if I ask her indoors nicely. No time restraints on a Mon night. I can offer a guided ride round Midlothian on a Wed night, same level of responsibility as that offered by Mark last night, sweet FA ๐Ÿ˜‰

I think Druidh shouted out an invite to his next time as he sped away. Something about a beer for all of us?
