Re: Re:
You got an 8 week old baby as well? Cos that’s pretty much how I feel every day
Glad you’re getting out again Rob, hopefully see you in a ride soon. How about a Tour de Leven?
Got out for a few hours this morning. First time on the mountain bike in months. Took a while to get used to leaning on the front wheel again, after so much non technical gravel riding. Felt great to be rattling down singletrack again though.

Re: Re:
Thats to be expected Rob, it wasn't a short ride, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.... Or something like that.
It was a nice change to go riding with company , as the vast majority of my riding is on my lonesome :cry:
"Haste ye back', as you lot say I believe

Re:
defintely feeling more aches and pains nowadays even at the ripe young age of 47 (and a bit).
Like OCP says, kenny is mega fit and climbs like a goat but I've defnitely felt getting fitter riding and trying to keep up at least some of the time.
sometimes it's good to ride solo just for the head space (and not to listen to OCP trying to talk to ye while bursting a climb when ye cannae breath lol) but definetly much more enjoyable with company.
hows mother and baby doing Clubby, hope all good and you are getting some sleep lol.

Re: Re:
It's ok, I'm 45 at the end of the month, so the chances are I'll be dead long before he ever leaves home
.............. probably from sleep deprivation.
Keep telling Sharron I'm going for a quick ride. Truth is I'm getting round the corner and getting an hours kip in the nearest poly tunnel. Nice and warm and keeps you dry if it rains

Re:
No riding this weekend.
Working yesterday, but did grab an hour in the garage later on to clean up the plus bike and swap to summer tyres. Apologies when the biblical storms arrive tomorrow.
Picnic lunch in the park today with the wife and bairn, followed by ice cream. Worse ways to spend a Sunday.
Hoping to head up to Brechin tomorrow for a wee gravel ride I’ve had mapped out in my head for a year or so.

Wee trip to Comrie croft and a sharp reminder of my lack of fitness. Been getting out reasonably often considering the recent arrival, mostly gravel type rides but decent miles. Definitely hasn't prepared me for the steeper, all or nothing demands of Comrie. Technical riding felt good on the flowy sections, but need to get my head back into the rocky stuff. To be fair, Comrie red and black are pretty full on, and would probably be a grade darker at a forestry commission centre. Ended up with a nice Mark of Zorro on my belly when the bike refused a rock step down but I get going.
Tried the new upper black trails on my last run. Probably not the best idea when I was already knackered. More natural feeling than some of the other trails, but with some big commitment rock rolls (which I naturally walked down the side of). Reminded me a lot of the Laggan black route. Also looked like they were putting in a new trail to the side of the dual slalom track.
All in all good to get some techy trails under my wheels but a bit worried about how I'll cope with the Glentress ride, especially as ZZ will be well acclimatised to the Tweed Valley steeps.

Re:
How was the cafe there?
Only been to Comrie the once, but agree the red/black routes are pretty technical.
Makes me think I should get out and ride a bit more technical stuff, it's one of those things where I find I get skill/confidence fade if I've not ridden that kind of terrain for a while
