Cheers, will do. Do you by any chance know if it was the same fork that was originally on the swift, hummingbird and gryphon.

And if you want a big mountain day you can do Ben Wyvis in a loop from the campsite. Will try and get you a gpx.

Been very mild in the evenings, the only camping essential you have to remember to pack is single malt.

I rode the course tonight and its in brilliant condition. Its been mostly dry up here for weeks and no midges as of yet.

His fiancee is there waiting for him. He has a few days to recover now before his stag this weekend.

I rode a loop from Dingwall today and passed a bunch of the mid pack riders between Croick and Garve. It was pretty dreich most of the day but almost everyone seemed in good spirits. I tried to get photos of everyone that went by. Gloves and cameraphone means some arent great quality but if anyone wants to tag them or repost them anywhere then feel free.

Matt Slater snapped his rear mech after 6 miles, tried to carry on singlespeed but after another mechanical has turned back to Kinlochleven.

Michael Cleveland has had 4 punctures and after suffering in the rain is recovering in Fort Augustus unsure if he will continue.

looks like i messed up that a bit but if you click on them you will see larger pics of newretrotom, micheal cleavland and marcus stitz at the start this morning.

geoffcapesshop was almost in tears when he missed out so im 100% sure he will take it. If not then i know somebody who will, we can ride wednesday and sort it out.

Try Andy at Eastside bikes.
If you are planning on crossing a continent or two my advice (from someone who has) would be to learn how to do it yourself.

Who was the guy riding the half fat at SSEC?

That was me

epicyclo, how do you rate these rims by the way. Ive just got a pug frame and been looking at the option of the cruiser rims from classic cycles in germany and drilling them myself.

It was me, Ill email you details tomorrow.

that sounds a bit epic though, might need a couple days!

a half day on the singlespeed cyclocrosser

I was watching it, as i suspect more than a handful here were but im not desperate enough yet to pay nearly new price for a frame thats a few years old (even though its in good nick)
a brand new 9zero7 is only 600 usd delivered

aye

The Johnstone guys look like they have specific grass court polo bikes where the seat is really far back almost over the rear wheel, fixed no brakes also. In Edinburgh we play on a hard court with any old beaters we can find, usually stuff rescued from skips or retired from normal duties. You can play on any bike you like but collisions and breakages are common. A frame you don’t mind bashing, one gear, one brake and a few estate agents signs for wheel covers makes for the perfect polo machine.

twas excellent fun. see you all next week.

Ill be there.

search on american ebay for gary bars, identical to midge and i got mine for 20 quid delivered.

aye jamesons is tramp juice indeed
