Date/Time: 8th June 2013
Location: Magdalen Yard Road Car Park, Dundee, DD1 4NBRoute Details: 170km starting in Dundee, reaching Cairn ‘O’ Mount, over the top riding a wee loop then back over and home to Dundee.Meeting at the Car Park near where I live which is free at VV to nine. We’ll then roll into town for a coffee stop at Empire State Coffee which serves the best coffee in Dundee according to the VMH. Then we ride all the way up to Cairn ‘O’ Mount at which point there are several options. For those with the legs it’s over the top and round a small loop before coming back over the Mount to then stop at The Clattering Brig for refreshments. Option Two is to ride up to the top, turn around and wait for those going over at TCB. The third Option is to just stop at The Clattering Brig and not take on the climb but I hope no-one chooses this option. Then the party of Velominati will travel back to the Car Park where showering facilities will be available at my place as well as some food before we walk a short distance for the recovery beverages. The long route climbing the Cairn ‘O’ Mount from both sides is about 170km. All welcome.

Exactly, Wear what you want but look pro while doing it. »
Hear hear E, I wear a fluoro top and gilet, I think the issue others have with YJAs is the people who wear them not the actual garment. I wold argue that a YJA that fits well and looks good is not a YJA but just a colour choice. I feel that I look worse … »

Eand whatever you want but it comes down to the equation of less in and/or more out to lose weight. Personally I can’t stay away from meat and spuds so just cut down the crap. »

@strathlubnaig Safety first last and everytime you know! It either that or a high vis short levered top I’m afraid. »
@snoov you never know doing the trossachs ton the wek after that though so depends on work rotas etc. »
Proper pic this time, saddle is level but bike is on a bit of a slope. Did 60k this morning, very comfy. »
Brain fart, amanged to call myself something different! »
I shall have to get a proper pic of it tomorrow then with all the right angles etc etc. Bloody comfy bike, step up from the alloy BSO, no road buzz and even going over rough tarmac is awesome, very happy bunny. Its got 105 on it and the brakes are the do… »
Blimey, did this site just change rule with a small r to rule with a big r, now that’s clever! Can you tell I dont get tech that well, as long as it works I’m fine but if it goes wrong or winds me up (are you listening apple) then I’m goosed. But then aga… »
Fuck me, is the reason you guys only put up pics of bikes and not yourselves that we all look as bad as this! Bloody hell I’ve lost 6kg and am still 95Kg and 1.8m. Me with my new n1, Trek Domane 4.3, really needs red bar tape but the budget was tapped ou… »

@brett Ignorance! I don’t think so, I am completely au fait with the taste of meat and milk. Just imagine what the liberty side would look like without sheep and cows, not withstanding fact problem of what would the welsh and new zealanders ride! »
Do none of you cream puffs drink tea? What a bunch of fannies! As for not drinking cow juice, that’s plain weird. Dont you know that high protein containing crops such as peas and soya do not grow well at higher latitudes I.e. Scotland and Scandinavia co… »

@Chris I should point out the Look that was just fantastic looking was £7K! Even on 0% it’s still a lot of money! Were talking about bikes here, sound advice doesn’t come into it . »
LBS actually has 0% on bikes a the moment, the next trek dealer has 5% off, mmmmmmm. The bianchi was a via nirone I think the next one up was in red and white, didn’t come in Celeste. »
What’s the feelings on aluminium V carbon. Domane 2.3 with largely 105 is £1200, domane 4.0 with Largely tiagra is £1500 but the cool look 4.3 with 105 is £1800. Would the step up to the 4.0 be worth it? And yes I know. Started off lusting after a bian… »
Feck, I wish I’d never asked now and just got one. The model I fancy with a decent group set doesn’t come in Celeste. Spoke to LBS and he highly recommends a Trek! Having broken TWO bianchis, and he’s only a wee fella. The idea of getting a cheap frame a… »
I am heavy and also not that wealthy, my budget is about £1K. I realise that there’snot much made in Europe nowadays. »
