+1. Was bad enough doing a ten mile round trip on the scooter. Chapeau! Forecast looking rather better- i.e. warmer- next weekend...

Got mine done today. Great weather for Feb, but still some shitty roads which caused a bit of mudguard rub & my bottom bracket developed a 'clunk' approaching 90 miles, but made the full ton. Reckon it'll need replacing though

Feb done. 108 misty miles was nice getting off the commuting bike and onto the road bike.

February done. A nice relaxing 5,000ft of climbing (overall) & 57 miles into a headwind to Salisbury (deliberately a long way round, it's only 46 or so by the most direct route) then home via the A30 & A27 (I'm not familiar with that road much, oh no...apart from commuting on it every day!). The climbs in Southampton are much easier with 125cc....
Tried on Saturday. Bailed at mile 77. Next weekend it is
Sorry to hear that. What happened?
Simply overreached with my route. Followed NCN7 from Glasgow to Callander, had planned to continue on to Pitlochry or Dunkeld, could have kept going but there's a pretty technical off-road stretch between Callander and Killin that I didn't fancy trying in gathering gloom, especially with no phone signal.
Fair enough. best be safe then sorry.
No pressure, but you're the last of the challengers to do February's ride
. G'luck for next weekend.@Edwardoka , did you get your ride done? I'm hoping so.
No, I tried on Sunday but the weather was atrocious, I was soaked through after 15 miles and had no option but to scratch. Everything is set up for a do-or-die attempt tomorrow. Hopefully the weather will be better
