[Col5632]

Should Weather, family, lungs and legs etc all lining up in agreement - I'll try for this one - my longest 'bent ride to date ...

I can keep Fokker company pushing up the hills ...

Glad to hear you might be able to make it along, my attendance all depends on weather and money but im about 99% sure ill make it along

Excellent, scoosh! We may need to do a little more on-road riding on the outbound leg - I believe there are a couple of non-bent compatible access gates on the cyclepath in Kilpatrick and Bowling.

I suspect he might be too busy with his new career as a Youtube sensation

I messaged him and asked if he was going but he said hes having bottom bracket problems and wanted it fixed first

Yeah i said that to him, makes me wonder if getting one is such a good idea now

Hello,
I hope to make this one. To be honest it will be nice to ride an area that Ive not ridden before. Has the route and start time been decided yet ?

Hi Andy

Good stuff. Start time and route have been updated in the first post of the thread. Meet at 10 am at the SECC.

Don't go changing anything route-wise just 'cos I'm bent - unless it's changing the restrictions on certain bikes not being able to access the cyclepaths !

In any case there are enough people to assist many of us to get through narrow gates ...


... then we can get the bikes through

My shift start at 10 that day: it is a "build up" day, that means I will be in an area restricted to the public, setting up my mobile coffee units for the event starting on the Sunday.
I am not sure if the main coffee shop will be opened. I will find out, if so youse could maybe meet at 9.30 and I will offer coffee all round

Maybe if he stops thinkering with it?

tinkering or as we like to call it fettling is as much a part of being a cyclist as actually getting on it
