Very jealous of you lads. Was in Edinburgh for the weekend doing family stuff and found myself walking a dog along Seafield prom in the sunshine fairly early Saturday morning, gazing longingly along the coast and thinking "those lucky, lucky b*stards!"

Sitting in my office now, I am pretty jealous of "past me".

About time for another long ride?
Posted 12 years ago # -
Well, I've got a road bike with 34"-100" gears now, so it seems silly not to use them. That said, I still find myself less knackered going up Gilmerton hill on the 74" fix than said geared device.
I have a theory that on some subconscious level you look at a hill and decide how many revolutions it's going to need. Since I'm used to a small grindy number, I get dismayed by a high spinny number. Just need some reprogramming, I think.
I'm off up to Plockton as of next Saturday, so I'll be amusing myself with the hills there on my moving-gift tractor MTB, which ought to speed up my geared-fitness programme.

Plockton - wonderful. Have a great time. Don't forget the midget repellent and watch out for highland cattle

Oh, you're talking to a veteran. My Dad was born and raised in Plockton, and we go there almost every year.

Now I've found the route charting site I will work out how to get there and back.

goodoh. Can we not make it weekend of 4th August please because I have a date in Berlin with the remaining Wilson brother, his cousin and some childhood friends. Weekends before and after are OK.
Posted 12 years ago # -
Sounds good to me. Don't forget the cafes.
Posted 12 years ago # -
I bet you organise this for when I'm away on holiday, eh? Don't worry, I won't take offence. *stomps off*
*sidles back* I may be able to do this Sunday?
Posted 12 years ago # -
PS, I think this might happen in late August.
I'm starting a new thread for it.
Posted 12 years ago # -
@Tom Late August might work for me - the last weekend at least.
Posted 12 years ago # -
Great, though unfortunately I can't do the last weekend of August.
I would be up for another ride before then if anyone is interested. Got to enjoy the summer weather while it lasts ;)
Posted 12 years ago # -
I can do something this Sunday, perhaps not a cross-border dash, but "something".
Posted 12 years ago # -
Sounds good to me (small print: subject to weather conditions etc)

How about down through the Moorfoots, over to St Mary's back via Talla, Dawyck and the Meldons? Is that too far?
Posted 12 years ago # -
Too far? No I think that's far enough! I'm free both days.
Posted 12 years ago # -
So, down Talla? I've not gone that way before.
Posted 12 years ago # -
Is that down or up Talla? Who's for up!?
Posted 12 years ago # -
Wot goes up must come down(?)
Posted 12 years ago # -
Up the Wall of Talla requires a route south down the 701, then east up the reservoirs, then north towards Peebles...
Posted 12 years ago # -
I'm off to the Heilands as of Saturday, so I'm out the picture till the 11th.
Posted 12 years ago # -
I seem to be free on Sunday.
Posted 12 years ago # -
I prefer down. I much prefer going south through the Moorfoots. I could plot up a route if you like but its quite straightforward
Posted 12 years ago # -
It must be a nice long climb from the St Mary's Loch side? Then a brakeblock burner to get down to Talla Reservoir.
