And today I did......

I'm twice as old as the managers and three times older than most of my fellow team members

Remember Velo, you're only as old as the woman you feel

Best of luck in your new role, it'll be a change, but hopefully a good & productive one

Had a wee wander around some local woods I've not been in for a while with my parents dog. I had forgotten just how good the trails were for old school mtb. Me thinks the Mortonhall estate with Brunstane Woods and the Braid Hills would be a good compact venue for an edition of Velo's Trails. Best bits are easy access from Edinburgh Bypass, large free car park and a cafe.
There are plenty xc level trails, a grand view over Edinburgh from the Braid hills plus a fun techy decent off the top. Further for the extreme rider there are several short DH descents created by local kids. A pleasant few hours diversions actually in the boundaries of Edinburgh.

Sounds good Velo, maybe a shout for our next monthly meet up in March/April time?

I've not been on here for a wee while but today it dawned on me what's missing. Where's Robmac?
I've not heard from him in a while or saw any recent posts by him.
Pm if not public info.

Robs fine, doing well actually I think. He's loved up to a lovely lady and living his best life

Good answer, thanks Jamie.

Today, after taking a battering on the Zaskar at Kinnoull hill last Saturday. I’ve dipped my toe into the world of full sus . It’s not new, it’s not pretty, but it’s modern(ish) with disk brakes and 5-6 inches travel at both ends. Needs a clean up and a good check over, then I’ll get out for a test ride up Blairadam woods. Pic will follow once I get it cleaned up.

The Roberts White Spider hasn't been used very much, so decided to strip it down and put it into safe storage until it's future can be decided

Don't be too sad, it was in danger of getting damaged and I'm having surgery soon, so going to mothball it for a few months. Then probably get a fresh paint job. Then when I'm healed I can enjoy it properly
