I went up last night from Bonaly past Clubbiedean res and up to Maidens Cleugh then turned at the top and went down to Harlaw. The worst bit was the rocky farm track up to Maidens, a lot of it was black ice. With all this snow we’re having just now I’d avoid it unless you have spikes, there will be to many random black ice patches lurking beneath the snow.

An Ibis Mojo with internal cable routing. Running 4 cables on the top of a top tube sucks!

I was thinking about going to Glentress on Mon. I’ll definitely be going now :D

Armwarmers – I dare you!

People who are bored :-)

curiousyellow – she just laughed at your post. I think she is now convinced. Cheers folks :-)

@ b r – I didn’t mention nowt about “collections”.

A Grouse walks into a pub and asks for a whiskey, barman says “Did you know there’s a whiskey named after you.” Grouse replies “What, Eric”

Igm – Does it attach to the seat post, I’ve a dropper post so no can do. I’m open to suggestions tho. What child seat do you use?

Thanks Rachel but no room to store a trailer.

Realman no that doesn’t HTH! :D

I was gonna go round the Pentlands this morning but it looked a tad too windy. I don’t mind rain but hate the wind. Its supposed to calm down tonight so my first ride of the year is gonna be a night ride!

I thought about getting one for winter fun but I bought an ice hockey stick instead ;)

Try trafficscotland.org. I think thats the official goverment site.

Edit – Beaten to it!

If I can persuade MrsFett that she doesn’t need Pilates in her life I’ll tag along. I’ll let you know nearer the time.

What route do you take to the Hills. I’d be interested in coming along but don’t finish work till six. If you go along the old railway track passed Boswall/Telford I could meet up on the way.

Depends on the hinges. To be on the safe side I’d add the depth of the door to the width of the freezer and that should give the max width. But thats a total guess.

Top marks for a well framed photo using the “rule of thirds” :P

I’d love a garage that big! Do you drive tanks?

Love the fact you still went up the hills!

You shouldn’t die but I’d take a phone with you. I saw two riders today so if you come off it could be a slow lingering death :D 8O

I was at Glentress today. It was -4*C and the hard frost made the ice look quite grippy (it wasn’t!). I did the red then blue routes. The red route was mostly ice free apart from some small sections of Spooky Wood. Some of the upper sections of the blue had 50-100m stretches of complete ice and some of the fire roads were the hardest part of the route!

His legs are different lengths 8O

Thanks Druidh

Enjoyed your Fatness on Sunday, have you heard how the faceplanter is?

It’s broke an I can’t fix it :cry: (seatpost and link)

First link I’ve tried….failed.

Today I saw…….. Two workman on the A1 between Edinburgh and Berwick. One had a leaf blower and was blowing the leaves off a path onto the road and the other was running onto the road between cars sweeping up the leaves. Frickin bizarre!

Or if you expand the game a bit and join two thread titles you get “What do you do that other people find foolish…..Smoking in Kids Playgrounds”

@CaptainFlash. It was Fountainbridge in Edinburgh. We didn’t brew “dog” but it was tankered up to us for bottling.

Draught beer/ lager (if looked after) will always be better. Bottled beers are pasteurised for longer than kegs and the pasteurisation process is basically a taste killer. I used to work in a brewery and got drunk on many a night shift on fresh un-pasteurised beer :D. Even Newcastle Brown Ale tasted great when it was fresh!

Cheers I’ll check it out.

Any other suggestions?

My son just let out a huge fart and proclaimed at the top of his voice “it’s party time”. !!!!!

Go on then, what is it for?

Ah Touche. Without wanting to hijack the thread the purpose of Scotland, along with the rest of England, N.Ireland and Wales is to bleed the City of London dry :D 8O :wink:o

If your still in a bad mood read the thread on here called “Funny things children say” it’s hilarious and might take your mind off things. Enjoy.
Maybe read it while on the toilet tho!

I’ve had a great laugh at this thread, cheers folks.

@krypton

Since I started this thread and I’m Scottish, you Sir are on a yellow card ;)

My 3yr old boy has used monkey swimmers since he was 1ish. They’ve been great, he’s never complained about them. I will be buying a set for my daughter when she’s big enough. I would definitely recommend them.

I work for the 5th emergency service. I install/maintain all the dispense systems in pubs so you get the perfect pint every time.

I’ll see your coke zero and raise you 4 cans of John Smiths.

I’d stick with Alpine cos if something goes wrong with the bike their only at the bottom of the hill.
