Those weeds are still there I see :roll:

What's the saddle? Brown seatpost is made of pure win! Orange and cream is absolutely superb, and the blue forks work in an irn-bru stylee sort of way.

I'm just here to co-ordinate the events not invent them !

Saying that though, I want to ride Blair Adam woods near Dunfermline and do a 6mile circuit I've read about in the Sidlaw hills north of Dundee and there is a woodland circuit at Loch Ard near Aberfoyle also to consider. Any of that tickle your fancy, please suggest other options.

Further SSEC2010 site is up with wonderful madness such as you must bring cheese or you can't take part and anyone mentioning the term race will be beaten or thrown out plus there are advantages to partying hard the previous night

You want a slick AEC then you need Si, otherwise your stuck with me and The Ken :roll:

I'm going to recce that North Third woods run near Stirling, hopefully next Sunday - will report back with pics, etc.

I remember doing a Loch Ard ride last year, but it was all boring Forestry road - nice bit of countryside tho, and if there are some proper tracks into the woods could be a good 'un, since there are plenty of steep hills. Best bit was hooring back down the Duke's Pass road on the way back to car park :shock:

Saddles a spoon as per the forks were an after thought I had them lying around and stuck them on. The original idea was a pair of rebas which I had powder coated cream but the bushes got fooked in the process :evil: still to get them serviced and fixed.

Aye, would have preferred dogging, but marriage was already circling the plug-hole at that point
