Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Brandane]

When is the weather due to improve? I've done two nights on the turbo, not the most fun but better than nothing

June.

I went into Dales today as I had seen the advert for their sale on Facebook. I had been thinking about replacing my Genesis Flyer with a Hybrid for the commute and they were advertising their ex-hire bikes (Specialized Globe Works) for £200, but I wasn't that enthused by them up close... So, I wandered about for a while and ended up plumping for one of these (I got it for £340 instead of £400 as it was in the sale, picking it up on the 4th of January)

If we're lucky

We always get a nice spell in June. Usually between 10am and midday on the second Thursday of the month, but don't bet on it!

I thought the model name was pretty familiar, but I think @Rasmus has the Sirrus Sport http://www.dalescycles.com/2014-specialized-sirrus-sport-p8316

That is indeed correct, but the basic Sirrus looks like a nice ride, too. Just be prepared to change the brake pads very quickly, as the stock ones are awful.

Is this the new phrase for pedalling in average December-March Scottish weather?

 

[Louch]

The wind can be your friend @Col5632 , embrace it!

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Get out, it's slightly less windy today.
Been out and back in....
