Anyone else up for it tonight? The rain is set to crank down a bit at 2:00pm.
i am dying to come, but everythings working against me. I should get back from work about 6, but i need to give my bike some love from last nights ordeal.
might meet you guys at the pub after the ride. What time do you reckon you'll be at the pub?
I think I'll miss on the ride but catch yas at whatever pub.
Up for a ride tonight and a beer

end up back at big slope about 8 to meet the non riders? Unless anyone has any preferences, I'm easy.
i need to pull out of this tonight, despite having some ideas for the video thing. Sorry guys
I've got Ham Hocks to cook today so I won't be out for the ride. Just for the pub. 8:00pm at Big Slope?
im down for coming for a ride, what time yall setting off?
Looks like it'll be 6:30pm
i apologise for my non show, got home from work about 615. By time i'd got bike fixed etc... was too late and i am just far too knackered for the pub.
how did it go though?
anyone about tonight for a ride?
No ride on this evening then? I'm free so would be up for a short ride followed by a pub visit.
im guna swing by big slope at 6, just down for a short ride about the city, no drinking tho
I'll be there shortly after 6:00pm. just leaving the flat in a few minutes.
I'm sorry that I've not been making it along for quite some time. I have an ongoing commitment now which finishes at 6pm in the East End on Tuesdays, but I'd really like to get back involved and get evening rides up and running a bit more than they have been of late.
If people are willing to meet me in town, or to wait till I can make it up to the West End (maybe 6:30pm at the latest), then that would be great, and I'll make more of an effort to come along.
I think it would be very good to get things going regularly again now that the universities etc. are starting back, so that we can try and encourage some new faces to join up and come along.
I'll be trying to think of some routes that we can do, because the best nights we've had in my opinion are the ones where we've had a wee bit more of an aim in mind or at least have had someone with a route in mind that can lead things on a bit. We're definitely suceptible to faffing, which is fair enough some of the time, but can be a bit disappointing if it ends up without us doing a particularly interesting ride.
What does anyone else think?
These evenings gonna get going again?
I'm free to go for a cycle tomorrow.
As for krakow's previous comment on route ideas to save faffing, I haven't got one.
yeah i'm up for going on a blast tomorrow!
i can't make it tomorrow but am up for getting a weekly ride going again. I agree with krakow about having a route or aim in mind
3rd in line with da complements to krakow "in sweet harmony" in for tomorrow night
I've landed myself in it now! I better come up with a route sharpish!
Everyone has lights yeah?
Seriously; ride suggestions welcome. East End bandit country is my stomping ground?
I can be at Big Slope by 6:30pm if folks are willing to wait. If you'd rather, we could have a subsiduary meet at Buchanan Galleries Sainsburys about 6:15pm onwards. Let me know.
I'm happy to see that this is going to take place more regularly again, especially now that I finally have a bike here. I would otherwise be up for it tomorrow but I'm having a surprisingly persistent flu at the moment. After that I'll definitely come along.
I have a route for next week
a while back rabsda post the bridges route, gives us a route and a map straight away. I never went on it so could give that a shout. I dont mind hanging on a wee bit for people to turn up or the meeting point (for this route best for big slope). so yeah i can hang on krakow.
rabsda:anyone up for a ride tomorrow?
I want to do this: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Clyde-Bridges
About a 15 mile route from the Big Slope and back again.
It will take us zig-zaging across all of the Clyde Bridges between the SECC and Cambuslang and then back along the quick and flat London Road.
Quite a scenic route following the national cycle network path for a large chunk of it. Anyone else up for it?(I got the idea from the london forum "bridges" ride, would be cool to do a big ride at somepoint covering more of them)
Probably best if rabsda were about for that one, since he made it up.
I'll be at Big Slope as soon as I can, will be there by 6:30pm at the latest.
cant make it tonight, got a flat viewing at 630.
krakow:Probably best if rabsda were about for that one, since he made it up.

it's quite easy to follow although tbh
rained aff being a fair weather cyclist (dont let the mud guards fool ya)
bigsmee, slint & I took a wee jaunt up round Maryhill & Anniesland - it was a pretty steady fine rain, but nothing untoward until we split and headed for home. Hopefully this is us easing in to getting Fixed Beer up and running again.
Nice to meet you slint! Assure your friend that he's most definitely welcome. FG or SS is preferred, but we'll let gears sneak by most of the time!
I will be down in London next Tuesday, but will be back up and running after that.

Great to meet you guys too, i only wish i hadn't sunk 3 pints before you showed up. That and 85 GI plus my first full day running fixed made the evening interesting. Thanks for your patience (Bigsmee and Krakow) although, i don't think i embarrassed myself too much.
Looking forward to the next and i shall leave the beers till after.
Thanks again
Don't worry, there was no patience needed nor embarrassment warranted whatsoever. Catch you soon.
I'd quite like a ride around the necropolis next week if anyone's up for it.
awsome idea can we have a morbid picture to rally under
could this be in costumes ?
On a road bike?
mechanical_vandal:On a road bike?
It's quite steep isn't it. Or are you talking about it being muddy? I thought there were little roads through it.
Doing that in costume sounds like a nice Halloween night ride!

It's steep, muddy, gravelly, rough and home to a large portion of Glasgow's homeless, drug addict etc population.
Perfect for a night out then, you're saying?
nice meeting you slint! Was an alright wee cycle till I lost my brake pads. First time no brakes seems not as awkward as I thought.
I'm in good shout to get this regularly happening although I think I am busy next tuesday.

it is also unlit and will be dark as fuck by the time we're up there

Well boys... The mighty Slint is training me up since we met yesterday. I haven't had a bike since i was 8 years old...and still don't(!), but slint has been kind enough to let me use his old stick-shift! So, done about 6 miles today and will be endeavouring to pass muster over the coming weeks.
See you at the pub again soon.
Cheers,
MintBaxter
So who's coming next Tuesday? It'll be my first Fixed Beer ever so I'm on pins and needles already.
If it's dry and not blowing a gale I want to cycle over the erskine bridge and back in a loop. That was my route idea

How far is this route roughly? Not too sure of fitness levels at the moment.
btw, you might not be able to ride over the bridge.
Two girls commited suicide from the bridge at the weekend, the road was closed for a bit and i think the pedestrian/bike section is completely closed as its full of police cars and flowers etc.
you might wanna investigate that first

Yeah, I saw that in the papers and we discussed it today during out autonomy/capacity session. Not a nice way to go.
