Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Col5632]

How about something along the lines of the Mille Alba audax of a few years ago: "HQ" was Fordell Firs Scout place.
That should tick the boxes:

• 3 different rides - check
• 3 days - check
• 'mini-tour' - check
• do-able ? - something to aim for ...

Of course, you don't need to go quite as far each day - but it does give a nice variety of routes !

Day 3 looks a good one and at a slow enough pace I 'think' its doable but not 3 days together

What ?? No today @Brandane ???

Ashburn ???

It's only 7am; still to get as far as the shower!
Forecast today is cold (by "cold" they mean low 60's F ) and windy (by "windy" they mean a 20mph breeze ). Still a barsteward to cycle head on into the breeze, but at least it's sunny. Turning warmer again tomorrow.
The training has been of the very light variety . Having to use roadside paths that cross junctions every few yards hasn't helped, and I've yet to see anything resembling a hill! At least the pedals are turning though, but I suspect my calorie intake is well above what I'm burning off .

No being funny likes but I think it would take you 3 days to do Day 3.

TBF I don't think I would be attempting a 300k at the end of March - only @Edwardoka is stupid brave enough to attempt that.

How dare you, I'm not brave!

End of March is a no-no: http://www.solareclipse2015.org.uk/

I could always leave with a route in mind and just see how far i go, even if it takes me the whole day

 

[Scoosh]

Too easy to pack, though.

Now, if you have a route, preferably out-and-back or circular, when the only way back is to ride ... you just ride home !
