Re: No Spend Transcend Saturday 8th June - Peebles Won’t make this- does sound fun though! Might have signed up for the Epic.. Im trying to find out which gt trails will be used but no luck so far- I’d guess at trailfairy plan as it’s been mentioned by tweedlove.. there’s five trails over that...

Theres certainly a big chunk of decal missing from the bottom, but a tiny triangle of white is still there which I'm guessing is remains of the prestige part- bike is boxed otherwise I'd post a pic..

Yup, tis mine- had it a couple of years, but thinning the garage to make space for something modern It had a moment of fame a couple of years running on the posters for Tweedlove, when I used it to haul a toddler round Peebles town centre. That duty now falls to the Shand.. Also have a Proflex...

The top of the second climb was a bitch though, as steep as the nasty section of janets brae but many times longer!

It didnt beat you- your loyalty to a slacker did! You'd have nailed it if I hadn't held you back!

Now that its a bit cooler, I decided not to let the route beat me. Took the day off and even though I was slow, I got round this time. Didn't even use the ebike! https://www.strava.com/activities/1809885506

Done, but I think it’s stuck in my outbox, will keep trying!

If you guys want to park at my place its a five minute cruise to the start, there's space for a few cars with no hassle of hunting for a spot.. I'll be aiming to leave as early as I can get up, especially now I've seen this: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/wea ... nType=area K- there'll be...

Re: Re: Love it, still tempted by one though, if only to comply with n+1..

Good man- love that bike! There's every chance I'll be ducking out early and taking a shortcut home as I'm riding the enduro course on sunday too, albeit on the ebike as course sweeper..

First climb out of peebles, by the hydro, starts gentle and gets steeper, then gets steeper and finishes with a steeper bit. Its evil.

Re: Re: I know what you mean, definitely easier ways up there- I’m planning a very slow plod up and expecting to drop out at inners to take the railway path back. I’m sweeper for the enduro on Sunday so need to save some legs

http://tweedlove.com/onthehillside/wp-c ... opia_F.pdf Route is out, and it’s more than possible to cut it short after Innerleithen if the legs are struggling... Managed to miss enjoyro and a coaching session at the weekend as youngest was admitted to sick kids and has been diagnosed as...

More route hints- there's a trail closure notice at the bottom of Janets brae, covering carls lane, the new trail from the mast to Ho Chi Min... doesn't say if its going to be used up or down, but I'm guessing it'll be a climb

Re: Re: That suck, good to see you though, catch up properly at Gritopia?

Guilty! cant claim credit for the music choice though, BBC 6music all day

Cracking day, hope you enjoyed the tunes!

Parked up at the top of magic mushroom ready to heckle!

Re: If you guys are stuck for bike storage you can chuck them in my garage or outbuilding for the night- will be leaving early to marshal Saturday morning though... I’m in staggering distance from spoons and on the way to gt..

I'm hoping its not the brae, might be through GT, or up the venlaw road- pretty sure its that general direction though.. Apparently peanuts are the new jellybeans http://tweedlove.com/liz-read-finding-my-gritopia
