Anyone out to play?

Usual stuff I guess - social ride - anyone too fast has to wait on the climbs or ride them twice, meet 6.30 lochrin basin / 7 at the wee shoppe

Hmm..my legs have been telling me something since Sunday: Rode Atholl-Minigaig-Feshie-Tarf-Tilt-Atholl. My backside doesn't want to see another saddle for a while! 😀

I was up there this evening and very nice it was too - especially the lack of wind for a change!

BTW I got a [url= http://connect.garmin.com/activity/92413624 ]Garmin trace[/url] showing 43mph down Beech Avenue, a subject I know has been debated on previous night ride threads! That was very little pedaling as well (I was on my Enduro which has a double + bash so there wasn't much point!), just a bit of a tuck, so it's not difficult.

i mentioned this on the trail repair thread, but i'll also just say here too - when i'm out tomorrow evening it'll be forming part of my research for my uni dissertation on mountain biking and landscape - yes, i've figured out how to ride my bike and do proper research simultaneously! 😆

so i might ask the odd question and take a note or two. however, i intend not to fall off this time!

looking forward to it 🙂

Should make it. Newborn to deal with but think the inlaws are here and won't mind me nipping out.

Nice ride lads, good to get out with some folk I've not ridden with before. Even sneaked in a few bevvies before the offy shut on the way home, result 🙂 [Mike, black BFe]

Corking ride, pretty ladies, grafting climbs, fun dry descents, stunning sunset vistas, circumnavigating heavy rain... was there anything it didn't have? Oh aye, crashes! (?)

A top ride indeed - thanks! Scalectrix was worth the final climb and I had so much fun I even tacked on a slightly damp Mortonhall and Braid hill on the way home! 😀
