Gnash Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Yeah, pretty happy, average moving speed of just over 20 mph which was my goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unleash The Nade Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Brilliant run on the mountain bike today . Aberfoyle up past Loch Ard, Loch Chon, Lock Arklet, alongside Loch Katrine, past Loch Achray then over the Dukes Pass, back down to Aberfoyle . Tough going and like pedalling a tractor at times compared to to road bike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I'm heading out for my hated cycle this weekend. Kilmarnock - East Kilbride - Strathaven - Darvel - Kilmarnock. Luckily the wind will be at my back from Strathaven to home but the first two hours I will actually hate my life. Hate it so much I'm going to do it twice - once on Saturday and then race my time on Sunday. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmeister Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Cycled from Livingston to Edinburgh today via Kirknewton and Balerno. Headwind all the way. What has happened to the wind blowing west to east as it should? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did 40 miles today after the Etape Caledonia last Sunday, and my legs hated me just about every inch of the way. That's after six days, let alone 24 hours! 23 hours ago, Kmeister said: Cycled from Livingston to Edinburgh today via Kirknewton and Balerno. Headwind all the way. What has happened to the wind blowing west to east as it should? I hear you. I was Stirling - Edinburgh via the Fife Coastal Path and it seemed relentless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say, once I got home and out on the bike I spent the first 15 miles cycling into a headwind, and was a seething mess. Thankfully most of the last 20 were heading back home downwind, which was glorious. It's coming from the east again tomorrow. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Has anyone mounted a camera on their handlebars or helmet? Looking for something ideally tubular designed, rather than a go pro. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmeister Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Cycled almost 30 miles with 1966 feet of climbing through the glorious East Lothian countryside. There is one hill going out of Spott which for the first time i got up without stopping. Chuffed as fck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Been a long time since I posted on here but I've finally gotten round to sorting out another bike on my works ride to work scheme. Going for a Specialized Crosstrail Hydro Disc 2018 and some racks, pannier bags for scooting along the canal so I don't have to lug all my stuff on my bag and arrive a grotesquely sweaty mess. Looking forward to the 20 mile commute which will also see me avoid the horrors of Princes Street during the peak summer tourism season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a bit less than that with a few hills in London and my boss called me in after a few weeks and said the girls in the office were complaining about the pong. Not sure who was more embarrassed, me or him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who was more embarrassed, me or him. No showers at work but apparently there are some elsewhere on the Heriot Watt campus that people who work at the research park can use. Hopefully not lugging all my gear on my back and the fact that it's a pretty flat route will help. ETA: Good to see Perthshire Bell still rattled by cyclists.
