Enjoy your day out weather looking reasonable, doing 100k on Sunday with some cycling buddies myself. Will have to make a point of coming out for a ride one weekend with you all.

Just cleaning my bike up and i`ve got a broken spoke in the rear wheel, how easy are these to fix? where can i get a spare spoke?

LBS will charge about £8/9 to fix and true. Or, size the spoke and call halfords... they sometimes have a box of odd spokes and might sell/give you one. If it's on the drive side then you'll need a chain whip and extractor.... and a spoke key. Some would risk riding with it but, knowing Scottish roads in winter, I wouldn't.

Hope you all have a great day!

Today was fantastic weather, 10 degrees! I hope it stays like this

Right got the spoke fixed, thanks to the young lassie in flying fox bikes in Alva

11th hour call off for Gee_Dee and I. The order didn't arrive in time
We were really looking forward to it as well - will definitely be up for the next excursion, though!

Have a great ride, guys!

 

[Gee_Dee]

Yeah sorry about that, I was looking forward to my first group bike ride! Another time

Would like to be able to join you for one of these rides but unfortunately I am a week-end worker. Upside is days off during the week and I had my first 50 miler of the year today (Largs-Dalry-Glasgow with some diversions). Weather was great so hope you get the same tomorrow and enjoy the ride!

 

[Get In The Van]

Have a good day in the saddle,

Erm have you got bibs on upside down? They shouldn't be crotchless!

Hi guys, have a great ride tomorrow: I will not be there to wish you well this time, because I start work at 11
Area around secc is going to be busy when you get back: 2 shows of the Xfactor, an exibition, plus rangers at Ibrox probably.
Hope you get a lovely weather, on my commute today it was still mild and dry at 10pm

Have a good day peeps. I can't make this one. I even had a cunning plan of <ahem> sprinting ahead (or hiding at the back) so I could nab a sneaky McDonalds in Balloch while you were all dreaming of cake... never mind... next time
