Jamie, you should supply the company that made that cargo bike with publicity photos. I do not think they intended the Bullit to be used for backroads trekking in the wilderness but its obviously capable 😎 Plus if that's what you Highlanders call a rapidly deteriorating mud road you need to get...

I'm in obviously, where are we meeting again, I know the time as I set it but not meeting point?

There is the Firetower trail at Lochgilphead though I do not know if that's within range. It's a Red grade trail with some black grade bits. Never been myself but there are plenty sites regarding it on the Web. There is also Carron Valley to NE of Glasgow which is a trail centre with some...

Next MacRetro ride is not at his as its beyond the edge of the world. He might be closer to you Jamie and to Brian but first we central belters have first to get to Ullapool then a fairly long ferry ride to Stornoway. My great granny came from there and once she left in the 1900's she never went...

....... and they're no all locked up yet😂

Awesome looking, Jamie's got a rival for stunning pictures. Unfortunately when I was visiting that part of the world there was much fog. The Western Isles have got few rivals for the blasted heath look😎

It's a ride what you bring, no retro rules apply😊

Okay I'll bite Nobby, always wanted a set of those. Work out postage to Edinburgh area then send me a pm and we'll get the cash sorted. Cheers Velo

Going to make an executive decision, let's go for Saturday 9th April for a Loch Leven circuit, say 10 for 10:30am start. Ride what you like but just in case bring something at least a bit off roady in case of any diversions from the beaten path. Any objections/issues let us know as date not...

I second that suggestion 😉

Personally not keen on the Global Fat bike Day model as its basically just going for a ride on your tod for a reason. Doing a solo ride is what we do of our own volition anyway. I think we should just make the effort to get together when we can and I think a trip up north to Brian and Jamie's...

Hokay let's narrow it down to Saturdays only but not the one where Keith's getting pished. Saturday 2nd, Saturday 9th or if those ain't suitable Saturday 23rd.

Best Emmelle I have ever seen and I actually like the brand. I currently have a Emmelle Alpine in surprisingly good nick but that Corniche is awesome 😍

2 to 3rd, 9 to 10th, 16 to 17th are the first three weekends in April. I think we should do our usual narrow down of these dates but ensure OCP is available as it's his idea. I'm free any weekend in April as far as I know.

SOLD😁 OCP's idea gets my vote and somewhere I have never ridden despite having passed Loch Leven more times than I could ever count in my life.

He's devalued a Zaskar frame but increased the value of the remaining Zaskar frames by making them slightly less common. I think he's done the retro mtb world a good financial service😅

Coolio, my suggestion is the Sidlaws as I remember last time we did it, although I'd need Clubby on board for that as he knows his way around. There is of course Velo's trails but Midlothian has a tendancy towards mud in spring or pretty much any time of year if I'm honest😉

Thanks for your interest, what tread pattern are these tyres, block tread or ribbed?

Tentsmuir is Kaput, see Clubby's post below🙁 I need something cycling to aim at for April now that Spring seems to have sprung. I have Reyt Pack in May to recreate, badly, the original Repack race but not in California, no better, in Yorkshire. In June I have the York Cycle Rally where I'll...

Yes possibly as the Q factor (distance between pedals) is another of those things based on human averages. As we know, no human is average, as height, hip width, length of legs, arms, back etc can all affect ride comfort etc. Try to look at all factors that make one bike comfy and ergonomic and...
