I thought that but dismissed it as being too obvious, and it's no really a mistake. Is it?

Last go.......is the rear wheel not fitted right in the drop out at mech side?
See, when it's finally revealed, if it makes me go "Aw fur fack's sake, that it?" there's gonnae be a murdur.

mmmmmm.............those tyres are verging on the fat side so starting to look like the fat bridesmaid at a wedding (you might give it a ride if you've had enough to drink). I will join in the "fun" and say that your rear mech cable looks to short however, it is a modern mech so they might all be like that for all I know of these things.
I haven't looked too hard and hence I dont know either.
This weekend we have had lovely weather, cool but clear.
Yesterday I had a bit of time in the afternoon before I had to meet Heather in Thurso so went out on the Merckx for a nice leisurely ride. Took a long circuitous way to end up on the shorefront for a coffee and cake with Heather in a freinds cafe. Stayed a bit too long and had to head back the most direct route to try and beat the darkness. In the pic just below its the road that goes across the pic on the coast from far left to the other side of Dunnett Head.
Just one of those nice, lovely day rides.

Had a couple of hours this afternoon and another glorious day so decided to head out on the Long Haul Trucker. I have a ride coming up and wanted to see how much slower the Trucker would be and see if an upcoming Audax ride might be better to go for comfort at the expense of a bit of time.
Anyway it was a nice ride in the opposite direction of the county than yesterday. I took a zigzag route from home south and then headed over to Wick, then out to John O'Groats and follow the coast home. While it was sunny it was quite cold and as I left mid afternoon it got very cold by the end. I could see my breath and my camera fogged up. After battling a major headwind on the section across to Wick I turned North and then stopped at a little village and bought a coke and a Mars bar and sat on the step at the cemetary for a break. Next stop was just before home at JOG's where like yesterday I met up with Heather for a large, warming coffee and the usual cake
Another lovely day on the road, then home to watch Kuurne Brussel Kuurne, and am now sitting watching the world track championship as I type this.
I hope everyone else had a nice weekend and just thought I'd share.

Not a lot to stop the wind
The 'other coast' North Sea
Rest stop
Colder than it looks

Not sure if you guys have a seperate thread for this stuff but heres a couple of pics from Thursday night.
They are from just out the front of the house and While Heather didn't have the tripod to steady the camera she just sat it on the fence.
if these are in the wrong place just say and I'll move them.

In answer to your first set of pics.....you lucky, lucky, lucky bastard. :mrgreen:
2nd set, can't think of why they'd need to be moved anywhere other than this thread.
Fits the thread title perfectly.
Wished I'd seen it myself but didn't know it was going to happen. :cry:
Been a few years since I've seen the Northern Lights. Down here in my own back garden too it was.
