Definitely will be a shock to the system......

Chung,
I will hope to be out for a bit on the Sunday as long as it is not absolutely chucking it down.
Would prefer to stay on local roads so if you are headed to the dark side of the bridge let me know and I will do my own thing.
 

I'm planning on a trip to Glasgow on the Sunday to just watch the race, easy to see various parts of it strolling round and plenty of pubs for pit stops as required.
 
Anybody else of a similar mind?
 
Sorry Chung - clear thread hijack but as Billy has already rained on your parade clear precedent has been set.

Aye good to get back out with the bunch and good training trying to hold Dapper Darryls wheel after Stewarton.
As I had not suffered enough finished off the day with the mini tour of Flanders route up by Beith golf course.
Cracking day all round.

Post mount has raised threaded bosses integral to the frame.
Flat mount has no raised boss with the brake mounted flush to fork and chain stay.
Flat mount I suppose will impart less dynamic force under braking however as Billy said it is probably an "aero" (ha-ha) and aesthetic "improvement" which has become the new standard.
 
 
 
 

Hope to be out.

Will be at club rooms for 0900.

Is anybody up for AA on either Saturday or Sunday.
Involves drive down to Minishant but after that barely a car to be seen. Can negotiate meeting time if others interested.
Warning: may not contain the Erskine Bridge.

For foxes glacier mints the Erskine Bridge.....again!

Good write up by Paul and have to say it was a cracking day on the bike through great countryside and with good company. As Paul mentioned there were a few mishaps along the way with the biggest being the eating part, mainly existed on garbage and E numbers and we must be the 3 biggest numpties of the audax given that we rode through Alynwick and loads of eateries whilst all starving and had to endure lasagne-gate at Coldstream. For whatever reason I felt pretty fresh at the end but suspect this was to do with quite a favourable wind and not just the one emitting from Paul. All told I reckon I could do a 400 but less sure of my willingness just the riding through the night part seems a bit ......daft, but that said I would probably allow myself to get talked into it.
To add to Pauls list of lessons. After a rubbish nights sleep, chilling out with a bottle of beer when I got home rather than going to bed wired would probably have been a help. Up early today and got loads done in the garden but I will crash and burn soon.....
