All set now for Sunday. Banana Falcon is prepped, I've even got my finger out and shortened the new chain, so now it changes gear and everything!
I'll also be celebrating birthday number 35 :shock: so, think of the solemnity of this great national occasion, it's not just a bicycle ride.

I'm favouring somekind of Edwardian tweed ensemble with long socks and a five button waistcoat.

Pah! Can't recall seeing Robert Miller out in 3/4 bibs, my wife wears them, nuff said. In fact, it is so warm at the moment I might not even bother with shorts (just need to remember to give the saddle a good wipe down before the journey home...).

I was talking about my mate Bob Miller, lives down the road and survives on a diet of insects. No idea what the Scottish version of him is, but I will accept your erudite advice :)

True to form I've not been able to get out on tarmac for a month (or two) but all this talk of 'gentle pace' and 'shortcuts for the terminally fat and under prepared' has got me bamboozled so stuff it, I'm in*








* in truth my road bike is batting it's lovely eyelashes at me and it's so pretty in the sunshine I just can't resist
 
Going to be a good turn out, looking forward to it

I am all sorted and will be setting off in the morning with robin, my over weight inferior steel beast with cables and clicks is ready too I think!!

Oy!!! Overweight steel beasts are my department :LOL:
 
Forecast is looking warm and dry tomorrow with cloud cover and a light south westerly breeze.
Perfect conditions for a ride ride in fact.

I'll see you all at the Cat and Fiddle at 10pm.
PM me if you need my phone number.
