Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Garry A]

How tough would the Tak be on a 12-25 cassette? Bigger cogs recommended?
Toughest climb to date was Vicars bridge road east of Dollar on hybrid type gears.

I could probably do it with that............as long as I had 50-39-10 on the front

How long is a piece of string? I've done it on a 39-23. It was tough but short (thankfully)

Finally starting to shrug off the bike-shaped despondency and rode home from work last night. Resolved not to be content with the flat 10 I tacked a hilly 11 mile loop around the Sidlaws onto the end of my commute... at midnight.

The Tak is a completely different beast. Much longer, and with steeper bits mostly towards the top.

Just remembered that magnatom filmed an ascent a few years back:

Saturday is supposed to be a splendid day
Us Belles have a long flat one planned

Not though this way, rain most of the day

Hopefully back out on the the bike this evening if my flight up from Brimingham is on time. Been down ihere with work since Sunday evening. Getting twitchy, bike withdrawal symptoms even after 3 days

Didn't get home until after 9 as my afternoon flight was cancelled and I had to get a later one. Therefore no evening bike ride However I did ride into work earlier and it was pretty windy and cool

Forgot how hard going all this cycling lark is, only done 22 miles yesterday but into wind and on the hybrid felt like 122

Fancy some company? I've got to put down a ton this weekend to not get disqualified from the Imperial Century a Month Challenge.

This would make a great cycling loop (if they take bikes), though £25 is a bit steep:

No half!
Maybe it's a miss print, they meant 2.50
