Re:
Got my proper bodgetastic "toon bike" built for this Rough Stuff Audax on Sunday. Like Epicyclo and his steering problems that take him into idyllic countryside, my bike mechanic workshop always produces a Frankencycle that I love but sends chills of horror through the retrobike purist :facepalm: I'm hoping it fills the bike thieves of Edinburgh with horror too so they dont touch it as it will be my planned twice weekly college commuter for the next year
Anyhoo looking forward to piloting the "toon bike" around the paths and tracks of east and mid lothian. Poor Brian, he will have to fight the steering issues as the course is mandatory

Re: Re:
What could you possibly mean, Roberta? :shock:
Is that why you frequent the cross dressing shop in Queenhorn?

Re:
Did east Lothian off road Audax and overall it was pretty good with many a track I did not know existed which I will reexplore at my leisure. Unfortunately the rain was biblical and I got both trench foot and trench hand :shock: Result was it was tough going in places and getting lost a wee bit did occur but well done to Jamie for his pretty good navigation skills. At end Brian provided a real comedy moment as it turned out he had forgotten a change of clothing so he sat in a deep puddle and washed the mud off his clothes whilst still wearing them He assured me they were modern techy fabrics that dry quickly but he hoped Jamies car has a decent heater Poor Rob had a mare of a ride from about half way as his energy was not at its best levels. But in great MacRetro tradition we do not leave a man behind and so I stayed back with him to get him across the line. We all got our cards signed as having completed the circuit. I'll give it a go next year if I'm spared, as its bound to be better in the dry !
