  1. Seems like this week is going to be some specials from Southport or somewhere. Edit - Mrs M, don't think this counts as a spoiler, you would have had to not read any newspaper at all over the weekend not to have seen that detail.
  2. Point 1 You are right about equal distance to go round the bridges but I like to have the wind at my back for the cycle home, hence the reason I like to see how it is blowing before I head off!! Point 2 Not me, I had dropped my bike at my folks earlier in the day as I had the kids in the car so I only went past Champany from Linlithgow direction into Bo'ness at the end of my route. Point 3. Only road that was closed was the Wholeflats Road which I don't use going round the bridges. I come off Kincardine Bridge, though Skinflats, left before the big roundabout where ICI was then through Grangemouth past Asda along by BP and left towards Bo'ness at the roundabout where the Wholeflats Road was blocked off. Torryburn / Culross road the way forward when in Fife.
  3. Have to admit NBB I always go through Culross down the bottom road, mostly from a safety point of view. That main road is pretty busy.
  4. Just done 35 miles going from Bo'ness to Bonnybridge and back taking in such delights as Grangemouth / Skinflats / Larbert / Camelon and Linlithgow. Glorious scenery... Did it in 3 seconds over 2 hours so averaged 17.5 mph which I thought was decent.
  5. Hopefully will get to do the two bridges run tomorrow when the kids are having lunch at my folks in Bo'ness, depends on which way the wind is blowing to see which way I will go round...
  6. This has nearly slipped down to page 3 which shows how bad it has been recently. So does Tanya have cancer or not?
  7. Short sharp 23 miles to Bathgate and back tonight, about 75 minutes. Came back and the wife had locked the house up and was upstairs putting the wee one to bed. Fecking freezing.
  8. Remember UTN, this is the only view you would have of me....
  9. Hey, that was 2 stones ago. Have had to go to XXXXXXL now

  11. How funny was that scene when she was going mental in the house, probably wrong of me to say it but I actually thought at the time 'Mrs M will be loving this'!! Good to see Shirl and Heavy Hev back.
