Re:

Well, I went for a wee ride at the Meedies, Lochore Meadows for any of our friends fae doon south that are looking in, as a couple of friends, husband and wife, were taking part in the CX races there today.
Rode part of the XC MTB course to get there, absolute mudfest in places, the CX course was much worse. Most of it was laid out on the grassy, well they were beforehand, areas behind the Outdoor Centre and it's carpark plus a small amount of paths.
Not my idea of fun riding round and round and round a muddy field on a course marked out with tape into lanes with umpteen turns. Did see at least one "hurdle" about a foot high that they either got off or did a bunny hop over.
What a load of bollocks, it's no ma cup of tea.

Much appreciated mate, see you at Dunkeld if not before!

Yesterday I got a appointment for a pre-op assessment but I'm attending the Vic on that date already.
So I phones the RI to ask if the date can be changed and the woman on the phone blurbs out that she
has me down for the 16th for my op, I've had no letter mentioning this :facepalm:
