    10am george sq. i'm knackered this morning........
  • Soweto, I think we're meeting at George Sq at 10, by the benches, but I'm convinced I'm going to go - will see if it's miserable or not - I'm kind of knackered. But have to give CA a cog anyway.

    Edit: supposed to say 'not' convinced I'm going to go
  • i turned up a bit too late.. hope it's a good ride
  • I just woke up. My phone battery died over night.

    I saw you come through the alleyway, go round the back of the Goma, down the other side, totally not see me waving and then ride off!

    I would have come on the shorter ride but I was in the wrong place.....and I do have a savage hangover.
  • We had a nice civilised jaunt through some canal paths out round the west end. I got a puncture and Soweto heroically sacrificed some of the skin on his knuckle getting my tyre off. Shame about the weather, but I really enjoyed it.

    Aye assumed you had boosted, I went to george square but couldn't see any one then did the same at royal exchange square. I left my phone in work on friday as well so it's been an arsehole trying to arrange anything. Using my girlfriend's phone earlier...

    next time

    Yeah, that was a jolly wee outing. Nice to meet you both. Fingers crossed that Mr Sunshine has his hat on next time. Quieter roads would be good too.

  • You could ride out with us as far as Coatbridge.
  • That sounds fine, yeah, and I would go to Coatbridge, too. It's going to be a 'scorcher', I believe is the terminology.

    They could ride ahead and do the cafe raids.......bagsy the champagne and lobster! (Failing that, Buckfast and crisps will do.)

    I think it is more likely to be Buckfast.

    The Independent:
    Its popularity there is remarkable, considering the product has never been marketed or advertised. In fact, so much of it is being imbibed in Coatbridge, a west of Scotland town with a population of just 40,000, that it is said that sales there account for 10 per cent of Buckfast's worldwide distribution. Scotland as a whole is estimated to account for 60 per cent..................
    In Coatbridge, Buckfast is so popular that it is colloquially known as Coatbridge Table Wine and is available on tap in some of the town's pubs.
  • Excellent. It's bound to be more beneficial, with the high caffiene content anyway.....
  • half bottle for me
  • I'm up for a wee ride on Saturday, especially if it's at a civilised hour.*

    * Late enough that I don't need to set the alarm.

  • Really lovely day yesterday – nice riding with you, bigsmee and soweto, and hopefully same again next week...
  • Sorry, my lady convinced me it was a better idea to go with her to Lochwinnoch/Semple Castle - it took 2h 30min! Argh. Never again.
