Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
Ev'nin all
Was looking forward to getting away from my current client at the end of my contract today but it seems they have realised how many more things I can help with so have been asked to stick around for another two weeks. The dosh will be handy but I was hoping to have some time free in early Sept for a few trips out on Hugh. Oh well, let's hope the weather holds until the end of the month instead, assuming I don't get extended yet again. Been there eight weeks now - it started out as two!

Evening. Read somewhere that the warmer weather is due to continue into early October Trev, so assuming your contract isn't extended again.....

Been round a little of the Scottish (& English) borders today. My first outing on the Striple and all went well, 200 miles but it's a start. Been riding the Vav Van untill today, fun but slow fun.

Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
Good to see you riding the Striple Malc. Any post ride aches or pains? Are you hoping to come down for the Border Patrol Weekender on it next year?

Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
A fair few. When you ride regular you forget how physical it is, especially how much you use you legs. Bibio has helped me greatly with advice about medicated bandages which have greatly reduced the pain in my jaw / head.
I'm sure I'll be there, probably come early and leave late to make a long weekend of it. Went round the Yorkshire dales with friends today and didn't slow them up, did a couple of hundred miles. I'm getting stronger everyday. Mentally I'm like a new bloke, much happier.

Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
Good man! That's really good to hear. Take it steady though, I suspect pacing yourself will be the key here.
