I spent a few hours over the last day or so recommisioning my 1965 Claud Butler Olympic Sprint. Its been my commuter bike for a few years and I've done between 3k and 4k on it. It's rarely been washed and seldom had any maintenance. The poor soul has been hanging in the garage festering for the...

Re: I hope things work out in your favour. I count myself lucky never to have been made redundant or been out of work. If you get into the CNP and pass your probation then that should hopefully be a job til you retire

Re: Jamie , how does that work ? Do you have a background in that sort of thing or do you go in as a trainee I had a sergeant who retired after 30 years in Strathclyde with his pension and walked straight into a job with CNP at Hunterston as a Sgt. Unfortunately he went deaf in one ear so...

Re: Hope you and your families are all safe and well. Its fortunate that there is no restriction on our chosen hobby and we can get out for a cycle as long as we socially distance. I bumped into an old friend yesterday and while we stopped at the roadside for a blether we kept 4m apart. Other...

Re: Re: I had a former French polis R60 many years ago. I never got round to getting it on the road and sold it to a pal who spent a lot of time getting it road worthy. He covered a lot of miles around Scotland on it and I believe he's still got it although I've lost touch with him.

916 miles in 70 hours over 122 rides. A big drop from my usual between 2014-2017 of around 2500 miles I thought 2018 was poor at 1093 miles I have completely stopped using the turbo trainer which accounted for a fair few miles. Its a poor start to 2020 as I've been off work and in bed with a...

Re: Sounds like you had a good day out. Sorry I couldn't make it. When I initially agreed to come I just looked at my shift roster and realised I was off but didn't realise it was straight off 3 x 10 hour nights. Another time hopefully. Velo , I have recently started running much lower tyre...

Re: Sorry guys , I won't make it. I thought twice of driving through to Fife straight off a night shift. Too great a chance of falling asleep at the wheel on the way home.

See you there , unless I'm totally knackered after nightshift. I'll try and get a wee sleep at my tea break then another wee hour before I need to set off

Re: Re: Not got a text. I looked on the map at work. Theres a car park shown about a mile up a road called Mourniepea which runs northwest from Newburgh Rd in Auchtermuchty

Long time since I made my one and only visit to Pitmedden. Where is the meeting point? How many folk are going? I'm coming straight off nightshift so I don't want to drive through and find I'm on my JackJones

Re: I'm off so unless I get tasked by the missus I'll try and come along. Fitness is woeful though.

HaHa, I now how you feel. My boy is 16 , 6ft 4 , 15 stone He looks down on me at 6ft 2 and calls me "Wee Man"

Re: Probably best to cancel although that gives me the problem of having 8 or 9 hours to kill in Perth having promised my daughter a lift to the gymnastics , cannae wait !

Re: Forecast for Sunday is dismal. 100% chance of heavy rain and high wind. :(

Re: I hope to be there. Dropping my daughter at Bells sport centre in Perth then heading up. I'll be riding Cannondale CX Quick , a 29er kind of thing with RST 50mm fork and Schwalbe CX tyres. It's not a mountainbike but it's not a hybrid either , weird thing.

Re: Is this still on? Whats the plan? I might be able to make it

Crackin write up Clubby. Makes the Strava entry come to life

Re: Sorry to hear about your issues Velo. I hope the clouds eventually lift. I would be up for a gravel ride depending on my shifts as usual

Re: Hope you all have a blast on Sunday. As usual I'm working and my budget cycle to work HT is lying in the garage virtually unused. Nevermind , this time next year I'll be gentleman of leisure (well maybe a wee part time job )
