A lot of rubbish get out and ride your bike lol

Happy to announce a new addition to our family, we decided to call him Scott and he weighs in at a healthy 15lbs 7oz. Pictured here with his cute little ultegra outfit that Uncle Shimano sent on his birthday. Also wearing his 25c all condition bootees from cousin Conti. Might need a wee haircut to his stem once his baby curls grow out.
 
Very proud parent.

Soooo Geo goes missing for a couple of seasons and big Mcbride turns up and some might say he is ok/not too bad on the bike? Geo then decides to make a comeback and Mcbride hasn't been out?!?
 
2 possible reasons;
 
1. They are scared of each other and don't want to battle it out?
 
2. They are the same person....... Has anyone ever been in the room with them together?!?!?
 
 
Friday nights thoughts from a Toole!

Had these for the last 2 years on my commuter/winter with no problem! At £6.99 each if you don't like them, bin them!

The worst ive ever been on the Renfrew bunch, going to be a long winter!

After 3 years of chat I'm making my Track League debut... sitting on McCuskers wheel the whole night

Wouldn't of happened if you started at 9!

Apparently Q Bikes run a city & guilds course in bike maintenance....

You've caught a big one, I'll get the net!!!!

Do you not get to lie in all week these days?
 
This later time scandal really doesn't suit me but no point making a drama out of it.
 
Goodbye
 
Forever......

So me and my BFF decided to go out a wee cycle today, Kilgreggan was the destination for an extended cafe break!
 
Just over the bridge and into Bowling the familiar sound that accompanies a Toole and Gummer cycle a big psssssshhh from Gummers back wheel! Fixed and another 3 miles down the road my bottle cage came flying off with bottle still in! I stop and cycled back up and got it, when I returned Gummers now front tyre was deflated!!
 
So after 13 miles of cycling we have no tubes left and one useless gas canister left!!!
 
Got to Dumbarton halfords who only sell top of the range tubes that have a 60mm to fit Gummers wheels and packs of 5 gas canisters so Gummers shelled out much more than he ever wished to spend on two tubes and gas!!
 
Rest of ride was lovely, freezing cold and wet!
 
Full all day breakfast fuelled the rest of the ride!!!
 
Me and Gummers are desperate for a double hammock award and we will try and organise another puncture filled ride before the year is out for the hatrick!!!!

Ross speaks only for himself. His ambitions for the hammock award are his and his alone.
 
Good run though though through wind, rain, Ross' patter, showers and (very) occasional sun. Café stop at Kikcreggan was excellent! The finest eggs benedict. Despite a couple of punctures a good 80 miles in the bag
