Scotland : Ayrshire & Arran Arran 7th June

[Louch]

5.5 hours of rain....I dislike that one even more

I'm still planning to go over on Friday and meet you lot on Saturday morning. Don't know what bike I'll be on - depends on the weather

Apart from the general unreliability of five day weather fore-casts.... It wouldn't dare rain! (Having said that I'll be packing full water-proofs just in case!)

I've also ordered new brake pads to help slow me down coming down the bogouillie, (especially if it's damp) as the ones I have on at the moment have the stopping power of a hovercraft!

I might upgrade my pads this week,yesterday's ride had some scary moments on it.weird as the cubes been great so far. Be good seeing everyone again, haven't seen enough of everyone this year on rides,just as individuals.

Hang on, the brake snapped?? Not the cable, the actual brake?

Just the cable sadly, but man was it scary, shop have agreed to fix it tonight after they shut

Not long now to this scene....

Your 'carer' seemed to enjoy himself last time, let's hope for similar weather as we had for the 3 Ferries

He did indeed @Telemark and his girlfriend is going home to Swizzerland tomorrow for the summer, so no excuses

All fixed now, cable seemed to have popped out rather than snap

 

[Telemark]

How about this forecast? Not looking too shabby at the moment

I went to buy new brake pads yesterday, and also accidentally came away with a nice new gilet. So I'm ready for whatever mother nature decides to throw at us.

This is clear failure of intention ....

Most folk on here seem to come away with an N + 1 ...

My free VIP night on Thursday cost me £40 for a nice new shiny Pearl Izumi Gilet
