last sun

last Sun we did the Glenfinglas loop. Great day out, good banter, some superb climbing and some excellent descents as well.

Sorry quality of pics is not superb as they were taken with my Blackberry, but they turned out not too bad.:mrgreen:

The CV

and a few weeks back we were at our usual haunt of the Carron Valley, but i took the SLR with me this time and got some good pics.

Last weekend decided just to head out into the woods,follow any track and get lost..well sort of,mate had his ipod/iphone thing with gps..into the woods at 11am... back out at 7pm..only crossed one forest road ..

Missed a few, probably won't update every day I cycle to work Anyhoo first midweek ride with chaps and a run round Arran the other day.

Rode a recce for the Drumlanrig meet(see sig ) as well as a handfull of bike 2 works I was out today for a hilly road ride.

Hmm . didn't want to note down my mileage , seems far too much of a hassle . But I want to keep a rough idea because it winds me up when someone will buy a £4000 bike and use it only 2 or 3 times a year . Kinda into a cost per ride ratio . It helps in my line of work knowing how long stuff lasts ; especially when you get people who moan about the cost of their bike and maintenance costs . Work out how much it is per mile and it often isn't much .

My smoke has done roughly , based on a 10 mile ride ( 20 because I need to come home ) often 6 , sometimes 7 ! but always at least 5 days a week since I bought it at the start of march ( oh shit I just remembered I used the fire mountain for a month before I got it )

Easily 2500 miles commuted so far this year :shock:

The smoke owes me something like £2 a day , ridden . Something like 10p a mile . It's the chains each 500 or so miles that are keeping it high .

Managed to break a spoke at some point . need to remember to change that tomorrow .
