Looks like you can scoot around Glasgow this weekend with loads of closed roads.

If I wake up in time on Sunday, I'm going to the GoBike ride to Erskine.
Don't get many weekends off, need to make the most of my sleeping time

My there’a a very west coast slant to this thread these days... must be the influence of @Pat "5mph" the Mod of Mods. Needs some east coast sophistication obviously

Is east coast Highland ok?

Aw, no hill climbs up Montrose Street.

oldest grandson had been asking for ages if he could cycle through the Clyde tunnel....so we done it yesterday

Harder than he expected, was his verdict, but he done it.



Got a lift home off his dad !

Haha, good on him. I bet he enjoyed the way down though.

Last time I went to cycle through the Clyde tunnel it was closed because it was flooded

He said I slowed him down by going first !

Hello there strangers, how is everybody doing? I'm determined to get back on the bike soon. Signed up for PFS to encourage me to do some cycling. This lorry driving lark doesn't give much time for cycling

Doesn't give much time for anything much. You have to make time any way you can though, I know it's not easy but I reckon I would need to find away to take the bike with me if I was overnight.

Are you going?

Pretty damp morning here but I think Mrs Slick and I might take a bimble into town to check it out.

Yeah... No.[RANT] my my wife refuses to look after the wee ones alone as she anticipates she'll be packing for our holiday this week, plus I need to nip up to the hospital and make sure some work is finished else I'll be getting it in the neck from my manager too.

So...[/RANT] just roads with cars for me for the time being.

Thankfully I don't do overnights but it's still 4am-6am starts with a 35 minute commute. I used to cycle to work but that's been made pretty impossible with this job.

Just wondered if you are all aware, there is a Scottish interest in a current LEJOG record attempt, Christina Mackenzie of Stornoway started out this morning, you can track her progress via a link I've posted in the LEJOG section of this forum.

Sorry to hear that, you missed an ace day out.
