Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Telemark]

Philanthropic motives aside - it would cost as much to get there and back as I would get paid !

I think you get travel tickets refunded ... we had ride leaders coming from Glasgow and Falkirk on the Edinburgh rides last year - I can't believe you never got selected!
From what I have heard, the Glasgow Sky rides are quite popular, with large groups (much larger than the Edinburgh rides I have been on, which had low attendance - partly to do with a lack of local advertising, I was told)

Don't think there are any Sky rides in Weegie this year, they usually email with a list which i haven't had yet.

Hi Jim ! That's strange, I got an e-mail saying they weren't doing Edinburgh any more, as the city council had pulled the support, but we were free to register for the Glasgow ones ...

EDIT: Last year the Edinburgh rides didn't start until JULY, if I remember correctly

It's all kicking off, website getting lots of hits .

Are you saying you won't cycle home after the night ride, @Louch ?
Looks like you'll have a busy time that week ...

Office closed today, taking English bank holidays!
I'll be off on the bike shortly, to visit bike shops and places to the north and east of Edinburgh where I have never ventured before... I did a google search yesterday, there are lots that haven't got EdFoC programmes yet ... any excuse for a wee ride

Hoping they stay Scottish bank holidays post Indy. My fav is the 2nd January that we get in Scotland, and my english & welsh colleagues do not

We got new management at our English- based offices recently. Unfortunately they've spotted that I've been taking English AND Scottish Bank Holidays for the last six years.
