I wonder if the forum software has gone haywire, it seems to be stuck on page 68... Tomorrow I'm finally heading to Knockhill Racing Circuit on the bike, a few weeks ago I got drenched on the way up and had to abort my plans but tomorrow is looking way more promising so I'm looking forward to...

With light winds in the morning I just had to get out for a big ride, out the door at 5.15am and I get 2 hours of mist and fog to start the day... 🤣 Destination Peebles today so I made my way down to Dunsyre and headed east for Dolphinton, I chose this route because the road to Dolphinton had...

I finally caught a break with the weather and got the chance to check my bike out after the shifter repair, I was enjoying the flawless gear changes that much I just kept going and going... 😂 I had a rough 60 miler planned in my head but that was blown out of the water! As always it was pretty...

Yes I'm not normal... 😂 When I went to see the guy I was expecting him to say bring it up in a week or so, instead he said just leave your bike here and I'll give you a lift home and start it right away...I was completely stunned! At that point I noticed I was at 99.4 miles so I had a quick tour...

First ever 100 miler completed using just 1 gear! I was planning to get out yesterday but with gusts nudging 45mph it was a no go, today it was still very windy but safe enough for a ride! Last night I planned a ride down to Peebles but on checking the weather forecast this morning I quickly...

My bike parts arrived today and I'm happy to report the shifter is in perfect working order, I just have to wait 3 weeks to get it fitted now... Its very windy today so no cycling but I'm hoping to get out tomorrow for a big ride!

Unfortunately my shifter is toast due to a broken return spring (not a serviceable item like everything these days:rolleyes:) on the downshift pawl and to make matters worse the shifters are no longer available (thanks Shimano :rolleyes:) Luckily I managed to locate a full second hand groupset...

This was actually a beast of an uphill, way more fun going the other way... ;) I'm glad you liked the photo, it pretty much sums up Arran!

Some more photos from my recent trip to the beautiful Isle of Arran on the west coast of Scotland!

I don't think they would be fun in the Firth of Clyde over to Arran...😂 A hard pass from me Chaz, I prefer dry land! ;)

Yesterday was a day of ups and downs in more ways than one but who needs gears anyway... I have been waiting for the right conditions to head to the beautiful Isle of Arran on the west coast of Scotland again, I had actually booked the ferry for today but on checking the weather again on...

Respectfully, you are in Scotland so it's whisky...:p

Welcome to Midgeland... 🤣

After Sundays epic ride our weather has been awful once again, today it was showing heavy rain in the morning with light rain in the afternoon! It turned out to be a mostly dry morning after some early rain, heading into the afternoon it was still dry so I decided to go for it but knew I was...

Thank you Peter, I do hope it will be many many years!
