Roadie outing - 28th October - APPROX 60 MILES!

[Mr Panda]

Not 80.

Not 40.

Approx 60 miles

Pish easy, apart from the brutally tough climb within the first 10 miles or so

Killin - Glen Lochay to Kenknock Farm - over the col to Glen Lyon - through Invervar to Fortingall - Kenmore - south Loch Tay road to Killin

How's abouts 28th October. A Sunday.

would a mt bike with slicks be ok for this and a 10 yr old be to slow for this run?

Bike - yes fine

10YO - tricky Gazz - 60miler and into short days and potentially iffy weather. Not so much slow as stamina I think. You know what he's like though - think of Arran loop but perhaps slightly more hilly................plenty of which are down

Not easy to bail from once part way round either :?

we just did the edinburgh glasgow 47 miles last weekend, so I thought he would be ok distance wise but we might just do the arran loop over a sedate long day ride rather than put p on him and slow you guys down into the bargain.

I think I'm going to go triple up front, whether I do this or not. I miss my extra gears

Tried compact? I was gonna go triple some years ago but have 50/34 front and 12/28 rear - gets me up most things, including Bealach na Ba, Applecross with a few rest stops

first tried a 48/34 front but kept spinning out on the flat. Yes even me

I thought about compact but as I've already got a triple shifter I thought it would be a logical way to got. And Chain Reaction have good triple chainsets at silly money just now.

Your putting a triple on the Allez??????

Thinking about it. And they did come with a triple originally. Compact makes more sense to me in terms of roadies having the right number up front though, but this was bought to ride for fitness not fun.

That looks a good date for me and I will have a triple on my bike whatever gas pipe special I bring.

Could do with a lift though as my motors are , well........crap [/b]
