October CC Central Scotland Forum Ride?

[scook94]

I've added availability. Need a wee ride to try out my new bike!

Oh do tell! What have you got? Passed you a week past on Monday as you were on the way too work, looked the same bike to me...

Ah! So you were the person that clipped my shoulder with your wing mirror... You could have least offered to give me a lift!

I only got the bike yesterday, it's a Specialized Allez Sport. Second hand, but new to me. I'm a bit apprehensive because it's got a full size double chain ring, I'm going to have to be a superman to push that thing! I'm keeping the old bike for commuting purposes, this is just for weekends & nice days.

I took a pic last night when I got it home, just in case anybody asked!

Nice cooker!

 

[scook94]

Nice! Do let us know how you get on round the North Third on that beauty please!!!

Nice cooker!

I thought you were going to tell me off for buying it! It was advertised in Glesga and I thought we'd be in competition for it! Although it's a good bike for me but would be a winter bike for you.

Gosh so it does all match I had not noticed that

Not concerned about the route - I will trust others to choose something not too long (30-40 miles is good), not too hilly, with a good social stop at/near the end and, of course, starting in a Tesco carpark . (Anyone else noticed that we get a better turn out if we start at a Tesco car park rather than a station ??? )

The last ride I was on had pretty good turn out and not a Tesco's car park in sight...

Better put a link into Stolen Bikes, someone will be wanting it back...

Already thought about that! The seller seemed like a genuinely nice bloke, even had a chat with him about his decorating!

I'm sure that made it more palatable to The Charming and Devoted, when I wheeled it in and it matched la cuisine!

I spent this afternoon cleaning it, took a while but it's now looking nice n shiney, and I intend to keep it that way!

Humm, wonder if I could get away with trying that...

So you don't want a route with any off road cycle paths then...
