Re:

Thanks guys you's have sure cheered me up :)

"Jamie trying to see round Keith's enormous trail-spanning erse"

And I swear I was just thinking these words while I scrolled down "Not sure what he's thinking about here" I reckon he'd just let one go and he's feeling pretty pleased with him self :LOL:

Who says this site is full of grumpy old men!

Quote of the ride from Dynacol...

"Thank god that's over, I don't think my undercarriage could take much more" :shock:
 
Another brilliant ride/day out with my fellow macretro clansmen.
A great ride, great company, no rain, a brilliant singlespeed and a day laughing.....doesn't get any better.

Wondering which way to go?


Brian and the 1X1 with a novel way of carrying his spare cogs ;)


1X1


Clubby at Green Loch


Keith and the 907


Col and the immaculate Dyna


Green Loch rest stop


Brian on 1X1 with a Fat B Nimble on the front


Green at Green


1X1




2x1X1s patiently waiting for their owners who are stopping for lunch in Boat of Garten. After a hard ride it to lunch it was a huge bowl of lentil soup followed by a big wedge of chocolate layered cake and washed down with a large latte. Very hard core singlespeeders ;)
