Oh how I wish my problem was choosing what to pack. I am still in the office in Dundee, sans derailleur hanger because a one-person job was split three ways and went about as well as could be expected, muggins here is picking up the pieces and reworking the rework.

Does this kind of thing happen to anyone else or is it just me?




It's just me, isn't it?

(@Fubar I can hear you silently judging me from here)

 

[MikeW-71]

Nope, happens to me quite a lot, usually the same person is to blame....

@Fubar do you know if the links of the maps for days 3 and 4 are still available. Links I found for these two days were 'not found' on the website. Don't waste too much time on this, not really necessary, just nice to have.

As punishment for my earlier smugness I had an off on the way home tonight - really stupid, tried to bunny-hop onto a track at the side of the fence outside Dalmeny, hit the slippery kerb and down I went like a sack of spuds.

Elbow and ribs a bit sore, leg has some road rash but otherwise ok - and bike seems fine! Though just discovered I have no spare inner tubes - horrocks. I have a quick-fix tube but will see what bike shops are open in the morning.

Schadenfreude?!?

They should all be here, just checked and they are loading ok for me - there are some others there too.

Oh poor @Fubar
Inner 700x38 will do you? Got an extra one somewhere.

I've had enough crashes and enough people derive pleasure from my misfortune to not do it to other people. Glad you and bike are ok, though.
Barring any more calamities I'll be in Decathlon tomorrow at 9am and if you ask nicely I'll pick up a couple of spare tubes

 

[Brandane]

and bike seems fine!

Phew! That's the main thing . Hope you're ok tomorrow; sore ribs can take a while to make themselves known.

According to the tyre wall they are 700x32C, fitted with Marathon Shwable Plus - not sure if yours will fit Pat, if Decathlon have them that would be great Ed! From memory Edin Bike Co-op don't open until 9:30, I'll check on Sandy Wallace.

Cheers Mark, will check them out. I have two extra tubes 700x28-42 I can bring along for you if you want, saves messing about with shops in the morning.

 

[Scoosh]

@Fubar - what size tubs do you need ?

 

[MikeW-71]

Hope you're all OK Fubar

 

[Scoosh]

OK - cross posted.

Pretty sure I've got a couple to fit. I'll bring them, then you will have 5 spares and be fine with no incidents all weekend !

Those sound about right, that would great - thanks!
