Central Scotland Ride

[HJ]

Oh and we need to make sure there is a pub at the end of the ride. I think I'm owed a beer!

I am sure we can find somewhere, this one might do, but not sure about "the noisy and regular toy train, running the length of the venue"...

Going for a trial run to linlithgow from glasgow (28mls) on sat if weather's ok for two reasons, 1 it helps me get some miles done and 2 the missus wants me to paint the kitchen on sat as i told her i am going to the old firm game on sun, now painting or going out on the bike, hard choice isnt it.

I should be able to make it. Someone should be there to keep the ranting and panting in check

Goo, yeah but am I bovvad?

So whose pants will you be keeping your eye on ?

Well, as a superhero, I tend to wear my pants on the outside....

If it's ok for me to tag along then count me in.

I have a sports hybrid but I have also treated myself to a carbon frame road bike, what is the surface like as I don't want to ruin it on it's first outing?

Just for future reference, there are some really good quiet cycle routes round about Auldhouse / Strathaven / Eaglesham

 

[magnatom]

Good man!

I don't know it personally, the others should be along to offer advice on the road, however, I would assume it would be fine.

I've got my mudguards, bottle cage, and computer on the bike now. I'm ready to go (fairly slowly)!

Mudguards ? On a road bike ? ** shiver *** Why not go the whole hog and put pink streamers on the ends of the bars too, ya big jessie !

(Remember - as Bonj says, you only get muddy if you're not going fast enough !)

The more the merrier.

I don't know about the northern section but I cycled the southern section a few times including with my carbon bike and never had a problem. I just hope the weather is good enough for it to come out or I'll be sticking with the winter bike.

Cheers guys, I think it will be weather dependant on what bike I bring then.

I was all set to go out on the road bike today and attempt some hills but the weather was really crap today so just done a tour of east kilbride on the hybrid.

I think I will bring my car and stick the bike in the back as it will be too much hassle for me to get to queen st for the train and by the sounds of it the spaces might all ready be taken.

Can I just confirm, Sun 29th, 10:30am at Linlithgow station?

Looking forward to it

That's the date I've got in my diary; hopefully we'll have good weather

Excellent, looking forward to this as I have never done anything like a club run, usually go out myself which can get a bit boring after a while.

Here's hoping for the weather

I will be on my hybrid as well and unless I get so miles in I’ll be hanging off the back attempting to count your cassette cogs. You will be able to spot me without my bike I will be the chunky monkey with a red face dressed like the man from Aldi.

Too be honest, I think I will be on the hybrid as well.

Lol, at the rich comment, working class, just done loads of overtime and decided not too piss it up against a wall for a change

We can keep pace and talk about the hoops
