Scotland
 

For some reason the idea of riding to scotland and riding back the next day popped into my head. Might have something to do with a recent performance increase in my bike. Or maybe i had a stroke? :smt017


Am i mad?

Re: Scotland
 

yes, and performance increase?? errrrrrrrrrmmmm

Re: Scotland
 

No, but it'll hurt.

I've ridden 1500 miles in one 36 hour stint before so a quick (sub) 500 miles would be fine but you're going to feel the pain during the ride.

I do have this amazing OAP style air bubble seat clip on i can use :D

Re: Scotland
 

That might help part of the pain but after 4 hours or more you get aches in your lower back, your wrists and your knees.

Basically I wouldn't try to just up and do it like I did, you might want to try a few mid length rides first, oh and sort our your hunchback seating position.

IVE GOT THE SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE IN MEEE.

I should just go and waste my money on a tenere and paint it orange

Re: Scotland
 

Go for it then. I just kept riding through it so I know It can be done either with strength of body or mind.

Re: Scotland
 

ive got a few days really untill i ened to start sorting college out and/or work.

Only problem is its meant to be pelting it down

Re: Scotland
 

Yeah, cold hurts too.

Sometime in the second day I got a dead arm from the constant windblast, think that was the MOST painful bit.
