Re: Alan's August Applecross Assault 2013 Edition
Is it worth trying to book a table at the Applecross Inn for Friday evening? I seem to recall it was pretty packed last year and we were a bit lucky to get one on arrival.

arrive to ask about a table. We can't really book anyway, coz we don't know when we'll arrive. A couple of pints while waiting for a table is cool with me!

Ah yes. That vaguely rings a bell. Let us make haste, or dine on beer and crisps... either sounds ok!

Re: Alan's August Applecross Assault 2013 Edition
Jeez, sticklers for the rules eh!
It's not like there's a nice view to take in or anything either. But they do have the kiddie board games in the corner, if you really struggle to waste the time. |

Re: Alan's August Applecross Assault 2013 Edition
Well I decided to get my ass out to put air in the tyres before it got dark and probably a good thing I did. As I was doing the back tyre I spotted this:
 What looks like a big nice nail/screw in the centre of the tyre. Happy days! Basically decided at this point get it home and take it out and see what's what. There was no way I was riding it like that over any distance for obvious reasons, so it was a case of pull it out and pray...  So I take it out and here is how it looks, fortunately was in the tyre at a sharp angle with the point toward the right. The flat shiny part was flat against the road. Leaving my tyre looking like this:  And closer inspection of screw...  Going by the flat part being flat on the road I think I am right in showing here it could only have been into the tyre by a max of 8mm and that's not taking into account the curve of the tyre coming in on the right. Probably around 5-6mm at the deepest really... Soo, votes. Would you consider this okay to ride. I think it's okay considering the actual treads of the tyre are probably more that 6mm deep. May have gotten lucky while I was cursing my luck when I first saw it... |
