Central Scotland May Ride

[cannondale boy]

What a good great day out, the route was pleasant untill we got before the pub when i heard lots of pops, i was going so slow i was right behind the group scared that i would break a spoke, or even get a p*******.

Thanks to HLABS navigation skills we decided to scale a very steep hill...once at the top HJ and HLAB said "never seen this place before". Before long we were back down the hill, which was more fun than going up it!

Arriving at the pub to take mug shots it took LasyFatGit twice to get into the picture. Yes magna i was very impressed with the bogs...but really how many pubs supply hand cream, aftershave, and deodrant, but there is a price to pay of which we all paid for (quite literally). Cheers for the drink magna did you get lucky with the waitress...as magna said at the table "i think i've pulled".

After leaving the pub, my heart must of stopped, no reading on the comp, very strange? Oh well must of been dead on the second half of the journey!

Close encounters of the magna kind, happened when a tour of nissan 350z's past us, and near enough clipped magna, missing him by a mere hands length, the cheek of them

We thought Scoosh had fallen over but he just clipped the side of the grass. Average speed 14.7 mph, 42 miles(i think), max 32.

Thanks to everyone and satans budgie for giving me a lift cheers .

Oi I said ' we've pulled'!

I forgot about the close pass. I seem to attract them!

 

[HLaB]

I forgot about the close pass. I seem to attract them!

And you weren't even wearing a camera, so we could choreograph it properly

 

[ACS]

Might I suggest another Trossachs ride. How about the 21st of June?

Sorry all will be away on holiday.

Sorry all will be away on holiday.

And I'm working that weekend, so I guess it'll be the 21st after all?

 

[HJ]

You can guess where this was:

HJ: I don't remember cycling up this hill the last time I came this way?

Different navigator the first time I did it...

Make it a Ton and I'll be there

So you are taking the GPS then...

Yer big jessy...

I wonder why I had wait so long at the gate...

 

[HJ]

So where and when is the next one?

Good question, there are still a couple of routes at the start of this thread we haven't done or we could try something else. Come on Mags where the moodle?? We need to sort out a date...

Notice how in both photos Satans Budgie is reacting to the smell of the 'friedly' shirt. Who was it that wore it last?

 

[Scoosh]

You mean it has been WORN ?

Actually, when I first heard about a 'jersey relay', I thought it was worn by each courier - then wondered why the sigs didn't get smudged/washed out. Duh.

Though I'm sure I read about a jersey relay where the jersey wasn't being signed but was being warn worn.

 

[ACS]

In fact Mags was trying to nick my beer chits from my jersey pocket, well I hope that is what he was trying to do... what reaction do you expect?

No doubt Mags will be along very soon with his protestations of innocence but we all know .............

 

[magnatom]

Just be thankful you didn't have any shot pockets!
