Nay, not very observant me ... unless you happen to be a handsome hunk?

Ummmm.....let's see....

Nope...just a fat lady - though I have lost weight since this was taken!!

"Young lady"

"Young lady"

less of the 'lady' if you please

Who is planning on going tomorrow?

I'm now only able to do one day . Sunday is the better one, according the forecast, even though Saturday doesn't look too bad, apart from a wee breeze and maybe a bit of slight dampness. And I've promised to meet you, @ScotiaLass , if you are joining us - really hope you do! So you can get chatting with me first, and I can introduce you to the others. Not to worry about lycra bums . If Sunday is better for you, that's my decision made...

Start of a list for copying/adding your name, so nobody ends up RV-ing all on their lonesome (I don't want to trawl back through nearly a dozen pages, so just putting down names that I definitely remember saying one day or another or both )
Saturday

Sunday
@Pat "5mph"
@Ellebells
@Brandane
@Halfmanhalfbike
@Rasmus
@Telemark (depending on what @ScotiaLass decides)
@ScotiaLass ??? Go on ...

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Really looking forward to this now, hope it "just" rains, a bit weary of icy country roads when ice bike is sick
@Brandane I will get the train back if @Ellebells does not feel like riding back, dare say you can count on our intrepid leader to race you down to Glesga

"Lycra bums" @Telemark ? What are you trying to say? I'll have you know i'm a fine upstanding gentleman that just happens to feel comfortable in spandex.....
Don't worry @ScotiaLass all the "biters" usually get muzzled on our rides.

 

[Pat "5mph"]

How are you feeling @mr messy ?

I wasn't really planning to cycle both ways. Will see how I feel on the day. I don't think @Rasmus would want to hang around at my pace, into the wind (on the way back) and I am planning on taking my MTB.. On top of that, I haven't exactly been putting in a lot of miles over the last few months. Sunday could be a struggle!

 

[Telemark]

Excellent decision, @ScotiaLass! We can work out the exact rendezvous point and time via PMs, and swap phone numbers. Will send you mine, just in case one of us is running late or we can't find each other .

@mr messy - was just quoting @ScotiaLass & @Pat "5mph"
Are you going to be in attendance then?

[mr messy]

How are you feeling @mr messy ?

Not been a great day Pat, think i've been going through withdrawal as didn't take painkillers today.....

 

[HonestMan1910]

i'm out and about on Saturday, wee trip to Fife and 2 bridges, Clackmannan and Kincardine, hope to get my 1st 50miler of the year under my belt

Oh I don't mind a bit of light biting...I just don't 'do' conversation very well

 

[mr messy]

Unlikely i'll be there

 

[ScotiaLass]

Oh Lordy....I found this whilst looking for a route...

"...the canal crosses the massive Avon Aqueduct - 250 metres long and 26 metres tall - the longest and tallest aqueduct in Scotland and only surpassed in Britain by Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in Wales. Cross this carefully, admiring the views down to the fast-flowing River Avon far below, and continue along the well-restored path".

No, no and no. Also, did I mention NO!
