If it ain't broke don't fix it, alternatively give it to Eck and it will be broke and you'll have to fix it or replace it with an even nicer part. Top work big guy👏😁

Must admit I have not seen a fat bike in ages, even down the coast. The fad has died down quite a bit😕

Good wee jaunt through the trails of Midlothian but now kaput. Had the first but not terminal mechanical of the day when my chain snapped on a vicious sudden climb but fixed quickly and on we went. Marvelled at the modern full sussers of Dave DH and his pal as they both rode down staircases and...

In a bizarre twist of fate I will be leading a mtb ride with MacRetro which passes Kaya's Cafe in Newtongrange, Midlothian this Saturday. If its open I may visit it and toast the great man that Uncle Vern was😁

Just done a wee reconoiter of the start end bit at Newtongrange as that was the main bit I was iffy on. All good and there is a good pub near the end called the Sun Inn with a beer garden. Also for those who knew him as I did the Retrobiker known as Kaya, now deceased 😕 is represented in...

Alas LGF Bank balance none too healthy and car insurance time rules me out yet again. Plus train travel looks highly unreliable at the moment😕

There are no watering holes along the way, shops etc in Newtongrange not in Temple. Distance 8 ish miles but numerous diversions from basic route plus some short scary (to me at least) DH bits for you mental types to session. The object of the exercise is just a wee off road dander in...

I want to be a member of "Thought's People? " 😁

Twas brillig in the slithy toves...... Sorry got a bit Lewis ******* there, it was great to see everyone who was there, all the fab bikes, the great rummage stalls, the friendliness of everyone. Glad I went, wish I had brought my folding bike, and especially a big thanks to Yakboy who looked...

Bump😉

I'll be there from about 6ish but as I've been up and about working from 4am I will probably keep a low profile tonight and appear from my hoop bivvy tent on Saturday like some ghastly giant insect from my chrysalis. Further despite being a Scotsman I am off the booze😩 I am on heavy...

Important, talk me out of buying anything. I am arriving as a backpacker so no car, so no room to shift stuff. Please I am begging you............. I am so doomed🙄😩

Due to being both knackered and useless I will no longer have a bike with me. That it seems will not matter as you lot have more bikes than I have brain cells. I shall show up as a back packing pedestrian off the train from Jockland. Still it'll be great to see the biggest cycling get together...

Certainly interested😊

You would be fine on I anything capable of off road terrain. Gravel, CX, Hybrid, Mtb even vintage roadster. The route will be as tough as you choose it to be and getting off to push or carry might happen. Surface is compacted earth mainly with mud in places, tree roots occasionally. Basically we...

All welcome on any bike, no retro rules😉

No bother, if nobody shows I'll go myself, it's a nice wee jaunt😊

After my wee Kinnoull Hill bump I thought I might fancy a less techy, more old school mtb run for June. The 25th June does mess with anything in my calendar and I have a nice out and back 90% off road route between Gorebridge and Temple Village in mind. Passing along Riverside paths in a steep...

If anyone fancies a Velo's trail ride this June I got a nice one that's not as extreme as we have just experienced. A simple out and back from Gorebridge train station to Village of Temple and back. Over 90% off road, nothing too technical but with technical options for the mad yins. Bits can be...
