[tug benson]

Thats some ride Jamie, similar to a ride i wanted to do next sat but not going over the bridge and not going as far west, im sure you will manage 65 miles no problem considering you have done more than that a few times now

i`ll see how the weather is this weekend but i plan on going from alloa, up and around lock katrine then back to alloa, am think closer to 75 mile for that ride..

Thanks for the offer, but that's way too far for you to be driving to pick some stranger up.

Me..

Am up at st Andrews just now, was a bit pissed on Sunday night as it was the girlfriends birthday and we went to the rocca grill for a meal, plan on doing a cycle tomorrow morning maybe about the 50 mile mark then I hope to do a small ride on Friday morning..must admit am a bit worried about remembering the route, I could be wrong but am sure I saw on twitter that the event is sold out

Just looked and i think your right, although it says it is capped at 300 riders and 321 have entered If i dont end up getting in then ill just need to go out on the sat instead

 

[Col5632]

If you aint signed up already then you need to go on a waiting list and i think 6pm tonight is your last chance to do so

Really can't trust the weather reports, saw the weather report at the start of the week it was meant to be pishing down all week, it's been great sunshine up here a wee bit windy just the odd shower, hope the weather stays good for us day


The ride I done the other day was good, hit a bitch of a head winds from tayport to Newburgh and the costal road had more hills on it than I thought,then on the road back from st Andrews i was hoping to hit a good time on the cycle path by the old course hotel, the wind slowed me right down and I think am 24th out of 25 riders,dam you head wind
