Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Brandane]

Nice ride. I managed the bit from Alcudia to Sa Pablo and across to Pollensa last year, but my excuse is I was on a MTB hired from my hotel . Loved Majorca and WILL go back, with my own bike. Enjoy the rest of your holiday .

All this talk of Spanish islands and Hors Categorie makes me hungry for mountainous pain. Tenerife anyone?

So long as there's someone whose seatstays I can attach bungee cords to, I suspect that's the only way I'm getting up that mountain in this lifetime...

Aye go on then, although an entire lap of Arran scarcely registers when compared to the LosCris-LasCañadas climb.

ok, 750 ferry and two laps :P

Lucky you! I cycled from Largs to Greenock and back. Got soaked twice, and the headwind on the return leg was no fun. Top of Brisbane Glen with the rain being driven into my eyes and having to pedal downhill just to stay at 15mph.. I NEED to go to Majorca .

750 ferry is impossible for those of us not blessed with an infernal combustion engine...

Is that the Old Largs/Loch Thom Road? If so, chapeau for doing it in both directions!

That and no chance I'm doing it twice!

The very one. On the way back I went round the Greenock cut (off road) to Cornalees, then back onto the Largs road at the south end of Loch Thom. Just started a new job in Greenock, so hoping to commute that road - when it's not raining/blowing a gale. So about once a month then!

Infact scrap that, just realised that's POP day, now I can't decide which one to do, got a rare free sat and promised a few non cycling friends a day down there

I seem to have got roped into cycling with the Belles, from Linlithgow to Edinburgh <gulp>

That's great @ScotiaLass - you'll be well looked after ... and well fed ...

It will be my longest cycle yet, so a bit apprehensive. They can't feed me - special diet or I may explode

Getting to Embra will be fine ... how're you getting back ... ?
