Rtts 2019

[middleagedmadness]

I know we're barely into the new year BUT can we have another one this year please and also the solstice just happens to be on a Friday this year (I've also booked it off work just incase )

[Bearbonesnorm]

Planning on one Stu - with the dates, it seems rude not to

[middleagedmadness]

Top man ,last year's was one of my favourite weekends out , especially with the constant abuse I got off Burty with me bringing up the rear

[burty]

I shall book the same weather in as well

[Asposium]

Need to find some long socks, tuck trousers into socks, and spray the entire lot with insecticide.

[middleagedmadness]

Good man Burty ,think I'd like to book a slight wind in as well though ,and maybe I can get to the pub on time this year as my Australian sat Nov has deserted me
Dave I don't think any prep will stop you attracting the little buggers ,but please come along as it keeps them off me

For those not in the clique, what RTTS and what happened in 2018?

[Moder-dye]

I assume ride to the sun given mid summer

[Bearbonesnorm]

Run to the sun ... not a clique, everyone was invited to come last year. Set off late on the evening of the summer solstice (or the nearest Fri to) - aim to ride through the night and arrive at the seaside 'around' dawn. Snooze / eat / nob about for a few hours then turn tail with a night out on the way.

Was gonna say same thing but you beat me to it

[Asposium]

Is the aim for the Friday of the solstice?
If so, will put in my calendar so don’t double book myself.

[middleagedmadness]

That's the one I've booked off work on the off chance ,so here's hoping

[ScotRoutes]

There's a more northerly version too...

That the one that was in the adventure show? Looked a fun set up

Me and my friend were planning a much more northerly one, but all bets are off now with my current heart issue.

[paramart]

brilliant ride, down to the route to be honest what a great mix of terrain up and down, more of the same this year

[middleagedmadness]

You and Burty bring the insults and I'll bring the whisky again

[paramart]

worst bit of the ride was waiting for a trap,poxy roadies

[middleagedmadness]

I know had to hold it in till we got back to the pub made me even slower

[Mariner]

There's a more northerly version too...

There used to be an all night ride round Edinburgh on the Solstice many years ago.
Do they still do that?

Planning to do that one again as I did it a few years back and it was a nice atmosphere (helped by good weather). Is a nice run for the old road bike.
