Unfortunately gedi and one other guy (what's his name?) were involved in an accident just minutes after setting off, descending the city centre hills. Hopefully no serious injuries as far as I know, but best wishes to them.

Just spoke to gedi briefly; he's back from hospital and sounding OK.

oh, and look forward to seeing some of the fotos. specially the ones with all the bikes lined up against the fence.

Hope Gedi is ok.

Great night .

ithinkitsnice:What way are you all coming through town tomorrow? Along the clydeside path? The reason being me and smout live in Finnieston, so we'll be getting our grub and meeting up around here and we can tag on as you come by.

If you are already clydeside by the time you reach Bell's Bridge we can be there, or if you're coming up through town and down Finieston Street to go through the shitey plastic tunnel we can be there. Or wherever else.

thoughts?

rabsda seems to be the brains of this. but the general idea is to follow the canal path or possibly out dumbarton rd. best just get us at george sq. we will not be going fast by any means.

catchy the morn.

We will be going from george square heading down the riverside to the SECC then along the new road onto south street then joining the cyclepath at the kingsway flats at yoker/scotstoun. Can't give an exact time though, we'll probably set off about 1220ish.

[krakow: Edited to fix quotes - kick my ass if I misinterpreted]

Hope Gedi and Tom (I think his name was?)are okay, he seemed alright in the pub but his bike's fucked.

Alleycat was great fun, came in 4th with 61 minutes, but dropped my pen, got slightly lost looking for ibrox and had to fix a popped out inner tube after bridge street, so am pretty sure I coulda made up those 4 minutes but still well pleased.

Bank_street_baller:I brought up the rear with the lantern rouge. a bit gutting but the race was so much fun Im not too bothered! being unable to find the symbol at Kelvin bridge and the fact i had to stop and tie my front light on with one of my shoe laces probably didnt help my time that much. Fantastic nite anyhow, Congrats to those who did better than me! and ill be giving my Pizza cutter a test run tonite i think...

Nice work. You can rest easy knowing that if I were there, I'd have been last. Was the pizza cutter our lantern rouge equivalent? Maybe we should start a Scottish 'Blue Lamp' tradition?

conn artist:i may catch you all at the bells bridge then. my legs are like jelly after the alleycat last night

me and smout will probably hook up with you there too, 12:20-30ish

cool, i was just abotu to post this. see you at 12.20.

RABSDA - see you and the peleton at the bells bridge then.

I've recovered from my 24 hour hangover and I'll be along to GS at 12:00pm

A damn good night guys - cheers! I wont be along on Sunday but will hopefully catch up with some of you on the next race... in Edinburgh probably??? Glad to hear that gedi is alright too.

Enjoy Loch Lomond :)

So who got that 'creative route' prize or whatever...any gifts for smashing into a car at 25mph ?
The accident was totally the drivers fault ( old lady) and she admitted it but the cops said it was 50/50 so there won't be any charges although my eye-glasses and head are busted. We were riding in the right lane and had the green light to go ahead and the driver took a right turn right in front of us and stopped, she stopped because she realized the can't turn that way or something and was going to reverse and by then..me and Tom have already flown over the car .....Thanks to Krakow for taking my bike and if anyone else helped thanks also...but I can't remember my short term memory isn't working well. I wish I could've participated more this weekend but it's been a good turnout and I'm sure there will be more to come. Enjoy Loch Lomond.

Good to hear your ok gedi.

You should take it easy and we'll get a game of polo soon-once you get your scrapper fixed !!

You get ma vote for a prize , that's for sure!!!!! And i'm pretty sure you were going more than 25mph doon that crazy hill.. that deserves a prize on it's own !!

Yeah you get my vote too Gedi but I think the prize ended up going to the other dude for some reason. Good to hear you are alright!

Glad to hear you're ok, gedi – sounded nasty.

Nice to meet everyone today – t'was really good. And what a great day for it.

I had a bath, a thai curry, some wine, and now I'm watching crap telly in bed with tea :D

Give in to it!

I came home and drank Ribena and had some Easter egg... It doesn't work for everyone but it's hitting the spot with me...

Nice to meet everyone, some day for it in the end as well. Absolutely beaten after that tank home.

Great to meet everyone but I don't think I properly introduced myself to a lot of people so not many names to faces, mong that I am (I was on the plug with the drops anyway).

I'm for doing that regularly during the finer months coming up — preferrably if the trains are running and we can get a proper drink in.
