Anyone? Usual craic I guess. 6.30 at Cargo at Lochrin Basin, 7 pm at the wee shop in Bonally.

Social ride. all welcome, anyone too fit and fast has to ride the climbs twice or wait for the old and slow.

On the miraculous off-chance that the PIN for my new card arrives, and I can make it to EBC quickly enough, and I can pick up my new Whyte and get home and get all my kit together, then I might see you there.

Don't know how it is through by, but seriously windy in Glesga. Let's be careful out there.

Its rather blustery in Mussy, presume the Pentlands may be worse - i'll bow out.

Since it was just me at the Bonaly shop some Mudhoneys took pity on me and I tagged along on the Hervelo ride.

It was blowing a hoolie and a bit annoying when heading west but the nail trail with a 25 mph tailwind was ace and I was introduced to some nice bits of trail I'd never ridden before.

Great ride, although I'm sure it was more fun staying in and discussing the [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/pentlands-memorable-climbs ]best climbs in the Pentlands[/url] on here ๐Ÿ˜‰

Well done debaser. I was out earlier and came back with a "windburn effect" on bare shin. I hardly had to pedal the whole way back into town!

Riding home was such a slog I just couldn't face the idea of going out again, sorry for being a quitter!

PS, what did Druidh do this time?

Guaranteed 30 blokes will turn up next week hoping they'll be "the only one" ๐Ÿ™‚

Kinda funny you all chickened out coz it was a bit windy... and all the girls stuck it out and went for the ride!

I'm out of the wed rides for the time being, doing kayaking stuff that evening for the foreseeable.

Knee has almost recovered after TJ made me hurt it :-p
