Richard - if these are the same (copies of?) as LOOK cleats then I have a brand new set of red cleats going free, and I reckon I have a set of grey as well.

Now that I use SPD on road and cross I have no use for them other than more clutter. If you want I can pass onto Chung next time he is out.

Hopefully ..just need to shake off post holiday cold. Looks decent weather.

Crikey...that's fantastic! Well done Cedric.

If you do it in reverse you get far better views of the Irvine valley.

Hi Elaine, I am going on the Wednesday ferry and riding down to Gulpen over the Thursday and Friday, would imagine I will hit Gulpen late afternoon and hopefully get Air BnB sorted out without any hassles.

Buy decent tools ..something like Bahco  Allen keys and Torx heads.  Do not buy a set of torx keys, buy the one or two sizes you need in the form of torx screwdrivers they ensure you apply a direct torque force to prevent rounding off the bolt. Cheap tools are false economy. 

Remove all dome headed allen bolts and consign them to the bin, replace with decent bolts, they are far less likely to end up stuck in your £1000 frame.

A tenner...its like the Pinkertons are on the case, it's yours ...If the coffee does not get me first ..

 P.S can we try another coffee shop in Largs, one that can actually make coffee and doesn't stink of stale chip fat.

Just saying....

Should be out

Aye thought that ......I was really worried, as opposed to just worried, when the additional 400 was added on.

Don't give us that! Half-decent weather and you could do 400 in a day no bother!

After last years 300 I was so wired I barely slept so I would say the 400 should be an achievable day in the saddle followed by a wee night cap before I shut my eyes.

Yeah I think that's the idea... suppose thats part of the fun, finding out how your body copes without sleep on long rides. 

I think we may be now doing this 600 instead due to Holidays etc. on the 8th of Jun   6:00 am from North Kessock, Inverness    The North Coast Classic 600. I have entered the Ponteland one already but doubt I will ride two 600s in a week  
          

You've already signed up to do a 2 x 600 plus a 400 in 90hrs........ ...but then again so have I...

Your wheel would be welcome Richard !

Aye.....

You're actually taking lights...impressed.

Aye Greg that's exactly what the main bunch should be, best discipline I've seen for years.

Aye good day to be out. Would agree with Colin that the bunch riding of the 930 was real smooth. Jumped ship to get the 900 bunch up the haylie and that also functioned as a good unit. Was planning to cut off at kilbirnie but was lured back to try Gerards cakes and have to say they were brillant as were the energy bars. Sorry Alan, still can't stand parsnips.

Worked off some of the calories by returning on the back roads to kilbirnie in spring like conditions ..fab day.

Paul, I'm happy enough to ride the medium route on Saturday - I would need some more detail of some parts of the route though, let me know.

North of the bridge always disappoints....that was grim. Fortunately the weather must have stopped the idiot drivers putting their windows down so it was only Couttie who called me names today.

Good to see a big bunch out.

Should be there for 0930

I will bring some baking along....

Hmmmm...im up and getting ready but there looks to be some weather coming over the hills...will head out but will turn back if it is too dodgy.

Aye she rode a perfect race and looked very strong even in a drag race with runner up who, pit issue aside, made too many errors throughout, most races she comes from behind and then just rides away but not today.

Aye ...vey impressive winners but a bit one sided fully expect the same tomorrow with a MvdP masterclass but the women's race was brilliant.

The women's race is generally the best in terms of action and competitiveness so will likely be the one to watch.

5. Mass drinking sesh in amaretto....

Weather permitting should be there at 09:28.

Something horrible happened to my legs going up the Fairlie and didn't really fancy putting myself in a position where I could not get home. Good run and I'm pretty sure a grace period was observed. The route was improved with George MIA, well done all who got round.
