Not seeing that photo mate. Have you papped it on Ebay?

I'm interested and very similar dimensions to yourself .

Edit: I found it. Looks decent will PM you.

Personally I think North Cape makes a better starting point than a finish, but can't tell people how to run their events!

But you can certainly try....

To be fair I think i'm putting words in her mouth. She's a lot nicer and more understanding than me.

I was a bit pissed she rode through the night in awful weather to arrive around 9am to nothing then just went home, thankfully her dad was there. The tourist centre opens at 9am but arrive in the night and I don't know what you do...there is one bus a day to Honningsvag which can take 6 bicycles at a time. Seems like the top 10 or 20 got the full treatment and everyone else was left to their own devices. Trucks on highways in Finland were apparently pretty rough but aside from that a beautiful route.

Anyway, that was her experience. Beautiful but expensive given the organisation. I guess the best plan is to win it.

My pal did it last year. Over all she enjoyed it but was a bit pissed that she reached the end (in 15 days) and there was no one there to greet her but her own father in the pissing rain and cold. Don't think she saw any of the organisers before leaving for home.

Probably pretty good over all but I am always there for the drama.

I do keep getting Tory Westminster governments that I have to put up with because our votes don't make any difference down there.

I would definitely take a break from the shit shows, I'm with you there.

I've wondered this before.

I'll admit that Westminster could very easily punish us if we choose independence by making things very difficult on a number of issues. In fact, I expect it, certainly initially.

Im not sure what stance exactly you are asking about but just to cut n paste from the document to give the Scottish Governments current official stance on the subject...

We propose two phases for currency policy after independence.

In phase one, from independence day, Scotland would continue to use
the pound sterling. This does not require any formal agreement with
the Westminster Government. Sterling has been the legal currency in
Scotland for centuries and is internationally traded. The continued
use of sterling would allow time for new institutions, including an
independent Scottish Central Bank, to be established during transition
and to build credibility, ensuring continuity for citizens and
business during the phase immediately after independence.

In phase two, a new independent Scottish pound would be established.
This would take place as soon as practicable through a careful and
managed transition. The decision about when the economic conditions
are right would ultimately be for the Scottish Parliament. Part of the
remit of the post-independence Scottish Central Bank would include
advising on these economic conditions. In phase two, the role of the
Scottish Central Bank would expand."

I prefer the Shmackarooney but there we go....

I imagine they are unable to be ousted from power in Glasgow because they are the only party that stand for Independence. I understand from your point of view that must be a frustrating Catch 22.

Simply, I believe, that in the next 10, 20, 30 years Scotland has and will have enough bright, determined and innovative people and businesses (or at least as many as the likes of Denmark, Ireland, Norway etc etc) to make a success of being an independent nation and be more successful than it is now, even if just by a little bit. I believe in us.

....and of course, England and Wales will be far better off without the burden of us Scots. Win win.

If the SNP provide enough failures in an independent Scotland, they will be voted out.

The political landscape will evolve over time in Scotland and we will help to shape it rather than the Westminster government we really have very little say in.

Alas, Im no expert, there is experts for that.

This is a great start. It is succinct and easy to read but I sense most people wont bother reading it and will get their opinions from social media as normal.

I hope they are planning even more succinct and easy correspondence in a question and answer format. Unfortunately, I think it has to be that simple to make a proper impact.

I felt quite proud reading that, we can do a better job in Scotland than Westminster does for the UK. It won't be easy and it wont all be immediately fantastic but we are not too small, too stupid or too lazy and never have been.

(call me)

I certainly don't know any nice cyclists.

Cheers troops!

Is that French?

Got a fleet of bikes that all have front and rear mudguards.

Lost a lot of the little rubber bits that cover the end of the thin metal struts.

Where on earth can I get a bag of these things and what are they even called?

Oh hey its Sherry. Her and her man were doing B Hard. Nice folks.

Are you a Moomin?

Edit: Ah its not your foot....

I've assumed your bike isn't full integrated...if so just pop it in the bin and rent.

I can't really comment on the specifics but I would always take my own bike if its possible.

Especially for an event and extra especially if your bike has been properly fitted like you say.

Anyone had cycling gear fixed up at any place in town?

Need some bib shorts fixed around the pad from rubbing on the stitching.

Will just end up at the place on Bruntsfield if there are no glowing recommendations of elsewhere. Cheers.

Could well be that. I think it stuff I used on tour now I think of it. I'll look into that, cheers.

Not an injury but a bit weird.

When I was touring this summer I was putting in some big days and not fuelling enough at all. It caused me to start sweating ammonia. I googled and right enough, not enough fuel, not enough water and the body eats itself and sweats out ammonia.

Came home, eating like a pig but still getting the smell of ammonia from my cycling gear. I'm fairly certain I'm generally fuelled enough...although perhaps with a fairly shitey diet at the minute.

Anyone else been there or know what's going on? Anything to worry about?

C'est vrai. But my choice is Orange Seal. (Used Peatys, Stans Race and Normal) Anything works fine at MTB pressures. The more the pressure the lessy the worky. #science

@cybernck Is your man. He has exactly what you are looking for and he's a bonafide legend of a man.

I toured the area this year. Unreal.
