Forgot to give special thanks to mr_messy for helping with my 2nd puncture and turning the whole tyre inside out to look for any reason for it, Fokker for the instant patch and scoosh for helping with my first puncture

"CC Ecosse sprint", eh? You're practically forcing me to go back and shoot for a decent position...

well my trip was cut very short today, got over Cleich only to be confronted by a blowout at the other side. Managed to limp the bike to Kinross till the wife could get me Lucky it happened at low speed as I was knocking on 58km/h coming down the hill at parts

Looks like you all had a good ride, but I can't help but feel that you picked the wrong day for it weatherwise!

Gee and I went down to Glengarnock today on her spangly new road bike and much fun was had, at least until she got clipped by a muppet driver in Kilbarchan who drove off without stopping. She's shaken but unhurt, although I failed to get the reg plate

First shot at the new commute tomorrow. Glasgow Southside to Dundonald, either via the 77 or the NCN7 - anyone up for it?

I want a shot!
Saw a chap on a 'bent on Redstone Rigg today. He got up it fair and square. It was of the type where the rider is a lot more elevated - roughly what would be crossbar height on a normal bike.
I was bemused by it; can't help thinking he must have been almost upside down while puffing his way up the hill! Very impressive though.

[GBC]

Wot you doing down there? Lol Hope it wasn't as painful as it looks.

It was me Mo1959, a slight misundercalculaion of the step from the tarmac onto the paved bus stop. No, or very little, damage done as I had the foresight, many years ago, to add some layers of natural padding just in case of such an eventuality

Who is the owner of the camera that the woman used to take a picture of us all together?

No no, not at all Jaz. I'm really impressed with the quality of the pictures from your camera and I'm looking forward to discovering how well it operates in a marine environment..........the Clyde for example

It's waterproof up to a metre, I'm not waterproof up to anything so don't throw me in too deep!
