Re: Re:

I think your biggest assumption is that people on this site actually ride bikes rather than just talking crap about them.

I'd like to thi k that here at Macretro we do plenty of both

Or they’ve heard about the strange sassanach that’s started turning up on rides.

What? I've got competition now? :shock:

Re:

If I was fit and healthy I'd be at every retro bike event I could and I am always on a retro steed. I will be with team retro bike at Mountain Mayhem this year, my third year, the biggest get together of retro bike in the calendar. Come join us and Jimo your more northern cheuchter than most of us ;-)6

If anyone is considering some mtb skills lessons then I can recommend my old school buddy Ian Sikora, he's had a long history on mtb, the last few years being a youth coach for Scottish Cycling in the Highlands.

Re:

Anyone fancy riding at Comrie Croft this Saturday?
I've not been there before.
Is it open during the winter? I assume so looking at the website?
Any suggestions?

I've erm.... Got a bike frame to collect ftom Stirling :facepalm: so might as well do some riding down that way whilst I'm around the area.

Re:

Damn, working this Saturday.
Love Comrie, hear they’ve got some new black sections.
Take a full sus bike or make sure you’ve used plenty of Poligrip, it’s not as buffed smooth as a regular trail centre.
Make sure you visit the tearoom. Arranchini balls are amazing.

I'm on-call with work next week so will have to be around Aberdeen.

I only have a retro full-sus bike, I don't think it's going to cut it
I'll take "Old Faithful" (no, not Rob) the Inbred 29er
