Hiked-a-bike up from carpark with me, then -needs must- had to turn and head back down( planned to shoot off through woods) but on the right embankment he was zipping down beyond the digger & went full splat into a peaty ditch.

Pressure worked wonders, but i would’ve been particularly concerned with the fleshy flap & perhaps bone visibility. No shock or panic and we carried on riding together into Colinton village.

BLOOD!

(twunt)

Learn a word-a-day.

Was the wind assist from the fact that-like moi- shitting oneself turned to flatulence?

PEOPLE,PAVEMENT,ROAD whaaaaa?

Down the ‘morrow then. Further to illumination, it’s payday so pads and lube and bits to be purchased.

Pints it is, but only if you can tell me who does “Black Isle” on draft?

Until I can haberdasher some LED’s together -DIY or manufactured- daytime’s bestest.

In – Law commitments this weekend, then whatever/whenever.

Cheers, safe to presume that’s you Mark?

StevenMenmuir, running a 25/12 so swings and roundabouts there.

This burden-less yoof, ungainful menial employment and a ready supply of carbs means i’ll be up there tomorrow an aw.

SNOW!Brill.

Couldashouldawoulda that tag was me, i went up Puke hill for the first time and thus sitcom-esque situation at the homestead.

On another note, nowt makes me chunder and gets away so lightly so I got home pronto today and had another bash…less walking & less chunks on the heather.

Where’s the local 2:1 heroes to inspire me then?

Edinburgh:

YEAH! BIKE CHAIN! BRAP BRAP BRAP!

Evening everyone, so first off I am shat with names.

Thankyou Jeremy & Niner & Giant for tonights awesome adventure.

Puke hill made me sick. The irony isn’t lost, for sure. Thanks for believing in my integrity enough to let me piss off back down it high on Powerade vomit & endorphins.

Bloody nora, was like falling into Moby Dicks mouth filled with sparkly little LED’s. Full pelt, no lights, Edinvar 45degrees THAT WAY.

Shazam. Got home safe, shaking with the happiness.:D
Thanks to Keiron for getting me through the dell.

Employment has ruined my life.

No participation tonight.

TandemJeremy- Thanks for the help, I hope to make it up there eventually.

*sobs*

Sunn OS bars TJ, I’ll leave a message before 5:30 to doubly confirm, particuarly once I get a good look at my BB.

Merci pour le helpfulness.

TJ thanks for the offer, i’ll see you at Cargo. Hopefully my BB will endure this adventure then in t’ shop Friday.

To save you bringing excess weight, what would be the latest I can cancel if this debacle of employment goes on too long?

Northwind. as in an Ellsworth?
tidy.

Someone stole my lights – Payday’s Friday.

shan.

Well added NB: TJ.

Is there a market for a good old fashioned “local” thread for stuff such as this?

Worthwhile adding the steps from Calton Hill to London Road and inappropriate things regarding transcending from the Castle to the gardens.downwards.
:-)

I need to break my GT cherry pronto.

Alternatively, now it’s dark in the morning, Meggetland to Harrison Park via the canal is like the Singapore Grand Prix.

Special.

Curious : Is the assessment to do with mountainbike leadership?

I’ve looked into undertaking the course and wonder what your opinion on it was?

Read the OP, skipped down to comment…

Case by case basis, of course, but i’m a big lad so f*** peggin it. Always be concise, stern and well mannered.

So, yeah. Get out the car, go home via the infirmary.
It’s my mantra ” dont be a cunny funt”.

YO, VEHICLE! GET OUT THE BOX JUNCTION!

All cities.

no but the smarties on the fixies next to me might.

Was it you?

Edinburgh.

I’ve had my Inbred for 6 months and it gets at least a 12 mile loamy-woods commute every day plus extra Pentlands adventures whenever I can.

Reliably sound for reminding me I’m on a bike.

I just cried a bit with excitement over how excellent this thread could be . . . so

Definately not skids…just “getting the arse round the corner”. For round right angles and the such.

Cheers peeps, morning ride was a thrill, steering from the hips. Literally “feel the steel2.

And _tom_ I get jonesey for riding too.

Thanks Mikey.
No thanks Tom.

With the hips it is.

I can’t shed the belief that everyone everywhere has to ride a bike full on, all of the time. Always. No pootling ever.
The odd singlespeed hardtailer like moi gets it, the trees look better blurred together.

Bellendery = People who don’t know where “your left mate” is. Wobble.

My Inbred with new Spank ing presents.

Pro 2’s in the post.

White lightning.

I CAN’T STOP WATCHING IT!

Those S bends… aww man.

I’m going to show this to everyone.

I thought I had chills watching him come down at Fort Bill, but that whole run yesterday…
Inspirational & something to the effect of “Man over machine”.

Im off out in the gloam, that inspired I’ll break something attempting to take corners like my chainstays on castors. ridiculous.

Zoom…

Just wanted to say thanks to 13thFloorMonk for his offer of leading me to the beginning of the trail, and apologise for not taking him up on it.

I propose, as a layman who has neither embarked upon a Wednesday night STW ride or prior trail repairs, that the two become a purpose for a single cause? Ride & observe in the week then make a “plan”.

All talk from me so far mind…don’t hate.

Does anyone have good directions on the best way to the meeting point from Colinton?

I love “my story too!” topics…

Walking to my sisters wedding in Tunbridge Wells with the best man, eggs were launched out a passing Porsche.
We were scrambled.
The following police car confirmed the passengers adolescence.

Good for the Kentish to see an angry Scot though, remind them why they’re closer to France than us.

Wahay..bit much to do a Bob Marley Bagger eh?

Bloody hell, pig in sht. Lovely.

What else don’t I know about that I can have with a reckless overdraft?

A lonely cave full of all the cool stuff i’ve collected in a year on wheels.

Late bloomer, early lover.

I’ll get one.

TandemJeremy

Gonna go riding a place I have never been before.

Trafford Centre?

:-)

That magically coloured headset.

Yeah, by the Dirt Jumper covered in blood with a spliff and a spade at 1am.

Boo.

Cheers j_me, need a kind soul looking to get their money back, not profiteering fun merchants. Even more than those are tickets for the Arctic Monkeys tour… sadface.

Glasgow in November might not be out the question.

Can’t even blame the festival in this case…
