Hello from Sunny Scotland

[Fubar]

Oh no! I didn't mean that the area was rough! Just roughly defining the area! Oh dear... don't want to make enemies already!



Sounds like there's a lot going on, which is awesome. I'll certainly look into all of this or contact you once I'm biked up and have had a few runs Thanks for the heads up! I LOVE cake...

Some bits of Dunfermline are VERY rough...

I only cycle through it, and even then as quickly as I can...

Hole ... digging ...

EDIT: Wow I just looked at the thread for 'Drawing the Dugs Heid'... hopefully the normal ones are a bit more timid for the beginners lol At least it's stated that this is NOT for beginners, or I'd feel very inadequate!!

It wasn't so very long ago that @Fubar would quail and gibber at a proposed ride like that ... .

A year or two down the line and he's organising them.

Exactly, I remember him struggling round our 17 mile round we used to do together before the perth ride.

Oh well, perhaps there's hope for me yet!

I think I might pop to Braehead tomorrow and have a chat. No guarantee of a purchase, but if I get on with them I might be a proud bicycle owner tomorrow! (How long before I can call myself a cyclist??)

As soon as you've ridden the bike ... and got the bug !

It's a slippery slop [Mod Edit - I think he means slope - but he does live in Cowdenbeath, so one never knows ! ], I never thought I would wear lycra, a helmet or cycling shoes and now I wear all

Thanks for correcting my post @Scoosh

Hi Duncan, welcome aboard from Larbert!.

rides are mostly shorter and more social than the Dogs head, the size of that ride is just a sign of how us all cycling together had brought us all along.for many of us a couple of year ago, 100 miles was a good month never mind a day!

have a nosey in the irn Bru thread in the cafe forum, and ask away with any questions as evryone is super helpful, even your fellow fifers and those Edinburgers :P

Hopefully meet you soon on a ride

Hi Duncan/Hi all,

Just joined but really nice to see quite a few members from Central Scotland especially from the Kingdom.

 

[McBrian]

Forgot to mention I'm from the East of the Kingdom, and favour Black and Gold :-)
