Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Edwardoka]

I'm sure someone on here was recently talking about doing that.

I thought I was referring to something from months ago!

These two statements are mutually exclusive, so which was it, sleep deprived Ed?

I've worked out what confused me. I discovered last month that a former colleague of mine from Dundee had logged efforts on a fair few of my local Strava segments while riding from MoG to JoG..

Phew. I'm not losing my mind (yet)

Thanks, I'll have a good look.
I wonder if Ullapool will forgive me for the early '70s

I haven't done the route myself, but there should be plenty of info online.

Jeez, a thread full of tumbleweed..
Question, best posted here..

Scottish Coast to Coast...
is there such a thing?
I've done the poor mans version, Bowling to Carron Sea Lock, a few times but are there any other versions?
I did think Oban to Broughty Ferry...
Fort Bill to Inverness..
something along the border with darn sarf..

Any thoughts?

Just done Fort Bill to Inverness(the 78 Caledonia Way)...
but just stopped at the castle. DOH

I may need a while to recover from Glendoe....

Chapeau Considered riding that road once and after turning *that* corner immediately thought better of it.

I'd two 'stepdowns', walked around 200 metres and took a couple of photos at the lochside on the flat section...
Thanks
I'd eaten a 12 piece Asda brekkie just 90 mins before I started.(you gotta pre-carb)
I started at Fort Augustus and I knew it was steep but the site of two white vans going up the hillside made me say a swearie..
a nice long downhill after it.
Doesn't go above 12% they say..
8 km long

This was my first CC Ecosse ride (all the way back in 1873, my, how time flies) and it was excellent.

1873? Wow! You've aged well

Oddly enough if I tell someone my real age no-one believes me but if I add 140 years to it everyone thinks it more plausible
