Combination of work later on Sunday and an injury picked up while i was out on my own last weekend - aggravated while on wee spin with john through the week - means I'm sitting this one out. I've bruised my ribs says the doc. Secretly quite proud of myself.

E.

I've not got my muddies sorted so I guess I'm kind of a pariah now. I could get a pair in Glasgow tomorrow, tho. Hmmm, what to do? I've got a rear mudguard on the hybrid. Would that be acceptable? Probably not.

John: if I don't make it on this one give me a buzz if you fancy a run Monday or Tuesday. I'm off work til wed.

Hi Fawlty, I was in the same position as you a few months ago, I went for a specialized allez, which I love, and I have to say that the club itself really is the bees knees to get you going.

You want to get in touch with the 30milers if you're just starting out, although it's a rough time of year for it.... all the best.

Ewan.

Hi graham. I've not got my muddies yet, but I am going to turn out tomorrow. Anyone else coming? Ewan.

Just had a wee look at the weather on the beeb... Saturday looking a lot better than Sunday. Anybody fancy doing something on Saturday?

That's a bummer Greig.

Any other 30milers fancy a spin this Sunday give me a shout. Weather permitting I should be out. E.

Punctured as I left the house this morning. By the time I was sorted I was too late to find you all. Hope you had a good one. See you next week. Ewan.

Bit late to mention this, but I'll be there.

Sounds like it was a bit damp! Glad I stayed tucked up in my bed recovering from (so far not very) fatal plague (a cold). Any 30milers fancy a run through the week (I'm on the mend) drop me a pm and we can arrange. Otherwise see you Sunday. Cough cough. Ewan.

Hello, I'm down with the cold so don't think I'm going to make it tomorrow. gutted. If I have rapid improvement overnight I might have a rethink but as it stands tonight, I'm not going to be there. Have a great one!

I have launched the consultation... results pending.

Estimated return time? So I can ask for permission to attend...

as ever!

Aiming to be there.

Ouch. Ouch. Gah. Aaaaaar. That was pretty sore.

Thanks to the thirty milers who got me out into the rain to do that.

(No. 8, it was too cold to write my name properly.)

You're a gent, Richie, cheers!

Oh and by the way, despite checking the confined events bit, I'm still mystified as to where we're suppose to meet for the hill climb. Obviously I'm being stupid, but enlightenment would be great.

I'm in for the thirty milers run, definitely. Not sure about the hill climb... that's a maybe.

John: text me if you want to meet up before heading out?

See you all on Sunday,

Ewan.

doh!

(thanks.)

Hi Stephen,

From one newbie to another: welcome aboard. You'll like the thirty milers, they're a very welcoming lot.

Greig, is there a post somewhere about the hill climb? When and where is it?

See you all this Sunday either way.

Ewan.

It was ace. Well done to everyone. A cracking day out and a great effort from all the thirty milers. Cheers. Ewan.

I'm there.

Thanks for the welcome.

A brilliant day yesterday, really enjoyed it. Legs battered this morning but that's got to be good.

Hopefully see you on the train to Rothesay. Can't believe I agreed to that but there you go...

Special thanks to Pat and John for the wheel home, I needed that!

Ewan.

John,

That'd be great and really helpful to a first-timer. 8.15 it is.

I'll be in a red top, black bike, looking confused and probably swearing at my new cleats. Ideally I'll be upright.

Ewan.

Hopefully this'll be my first appearance.

Picking up a new bike today(fri), so barring any teething problems, I'm planning to be join you on Sunday. I've done about a handful of 30mile runs on my own on the old Crosstrail in the past couple of weeks and so far no disasters. Optimism is all!

Ewan.
