Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2009 11:25 amDon't think I'll be able to Pedal for Scotland on this occasion unfortunately. This continuous rain (wet days = no work) has wiped out my all-too-meagre budget for such things I'm afraid. And if the 13th does happen to be a dry-ish day I'll certainly have to spend it working. Maybe next time - or maybe join in another HG ride sometime soon.

Posted: Sun Sep 13, 2009 6:56 pmWell done indeed 
A fair wee run, is 50 miles.
Hope you enjoyed Winchburgh by the way, not to mention that boring 'place where dogs go to die' bit between Airdrie and Caldercruix.

Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2009 2:09 pmI had to feel sorry for the poor TE on the 0755 helensburgh-bridgeton train on sun...35 bikes on it and the idiots didnt have a clue how to SAFELY put them on...blocking gangways, doors, on the bloody seats...i know the signs say thank for not putting your FEET on the seats, but a bike is taking the 'hit n miss'
