You will be pleased to note Stu that my mum quite enjoyed the Teeling small batch i found in Brisvegas. I am currently looking at a row of 18 yo (whiskies you filthy perves) and they all look delicious.

Greetz

S.

Sorry everyone...it's been a brutal last few weeks...I'll be in Salop for lunchtime Thursday, so if anyone is still keen, I'm going to pedal over towards the Ragleth around 4 in the arvo I guess...be there for half 5 cause I'm seriously unfit right now....a few jars...some chow. Then off up the hill...

I learnt the Patagucci term last year from some folks from Portland, Or. Apparently it's the in thing to be seen in by trendy people there. I had a good chuckle as I was wearing a Patagonia wind shell that's quite useful and I am the least trendy thing out there.

S.

All good Neil. It’s good to see you back anyways. : )

Greetz

S.

A firm date you say? Sat. 5th Oct would be it, unless 6th Oct suits better. A show of hands for either will seal it.

Greetz

S.

All good fella. This the first of what should be more regular visits. But if you manage to make it over, you have your choice of aberlour, lagavulin or highland park.

Greetz

S.

No winter bivvy this year alas. Looks like I’ll get there on 4th at the moment and out on the 9th. Just a quick dash through, but didn’t want to miss the opportunity for a few jars with some muddy mates.

Greetz

S.

Will keep you all posted. Weather report from midlanders appreciated so I know what to dress Lois in.

Greetz

S.

I can be, Dave. Mike will be back to. Adjusting this to early Oct then.

Greetz

S.

No worries Taylor. Figured I wouldn’t be able to catch up with everyone this time around. Bit whirlwind and all that.

Greetz

S.

Hello to all you lovely Boners. Anyone fancy a night on Long Mynd or Brown Clee first weekend of Oct? Looks like I’ll be over yonder and it’s about bloody time my kit got used this year.

Sing out if yer keen.

Greetz

[Edit: Oct seems to be better suited and possibly worse weather!]

Three at the moment, but I keep threatening to get another. Trek Superfly 2013 hardtail 29", XTR, Niner RDO carbon fork, Whiskey bar. Lois the mile muncher. Scott Montana 2006 hardtail 26", SLX/XT, RS SID team fork, Easton Monkey Lite XC bar. Tessy the pub bike. Flyxxi matt carbon 29"...

Most excellent sox :) Cheery Friday indeed...sideways/upwards position moves at the new gig today...twice in two months i have been moved up to bigger and better things. At the expense of riding in the hills at my leisure. Tradeoffs. On the fun side of it, I work with lightweights...Guinness lays em...

Not sure when I'll be through but I'll let you know when well ahead of time. Get to see if the Flyxii made it through unscathed in the AM. Taken long enough.
