Just signed up for Pedal for Scotland

55 miles, Glasgow to Edinburgh in September.

Right now I canny walk the length of myself.

I needed a goal though so I signed up with an aquaintance of family of mine from Ireland who is now living in glasgow.

Been shooting the breeze on fb with him for a while now so i thought I would dive in, he's a veteran of these jaunts and he said he would come over and keep pushing me on.

It's going to be * tough but at least now I have something to aim for and that will spur me on.

In like * Flynn.

 

How you gettin' back??

 

Cycling is hard work mate. Well done for taking the challenge and get training. Not on the bikes at the gym need to practice on a decent bike.

 

20 quid for the bus and they cart the bike back, smart *. :smiley-laughing002:

 

Can you use one of those motorised things the pro's are all using?


Good luck anyways.

 

My bhoy has an exercise bike gathering dust in his room so I'm going to ride the * out of that for a couple of weeks until I have the money to buy a bike outright.

If anybody has any tips for good bikes to buy fire them in here then I can trawl gumtree for a cheap one.

 

Beware of saboteurs. Some individuals threw tacks on the route last year, caused chaos. * knows why.

 

Fair play mate, told my aunty I'd do a charity walk with her during the summer, I'm the slowest walker ever..still looking forward to it

Btw get a racer they're brilliant

 

Here's hoping. :smiley-laughing002:

 

Well in Sean. Let us know how you get on. I finish my current job in August and will be looking do something similar. Definitely good to have an event to train for.

 

My young cousin has done the London to Brighton heart foundation for the last couple of year's which must be about the same trek..

It crossed my mind last year but I'd be * :smiley-laughing002:

 

:icon_mrgreen:

You`ll do it. Just pace yourself.

 

haha thank * for that! good luck btw, are we all gonna get stiffed for sponsor money then??

 

I actually never thought of that. I ticked the box for no fundraising because I don't know anybody. I forgot you reprobates on here could have donated.

Ah well. I've paid my fee so that will go to the charity, that's good enough for me.

 

My mate from Belfast cycles a lot. He gets discounted vouchers. I will give him a phone tomorrow and get back to you mate. He saves a few quid. I also have a decent bike you can borrow. I'm quite a big lad so if you around 6 ft it's yours to borrow.

 

Don't get caught using the roids they test now

 

Are you doing it for charity.
If so put the details on the charity events thread.

 

I'm about 6ft in circumference.

I appreciate the offer though mate. I'm going to be needing a bike for over 6 months though, that's not borrowing that's theft. :smiley-laughing002:

In all honesty though, thanks for the offer but i want to get my own bike, I won't be worrying about it bending under the weight then.

 

they'll need to catch me first, imma keep cycling to Norway to drop Deila off.

 

Good luck tubbs :icon_mrgreen:
