Onesea Challenge score 110

Stu Challenge Score... urm ZERO.

Down south the sensible way to calculate journey times is at 30 mph (Sadly VERY reliable) so 70 miles is over 4 hours straight riding, there and back. We will see what happens when the weather pic's up there is a thought that buy adding a little on to that I can get another couple of tags whilst I am that way....

bast*rd

It's still too cold for me

[Grumpy Old Git]

Not too cold today Stu! (Although it was a bit 'damp').

Heads up - Had to change one of the Tags - the Chequered Flag Cafe at Mallory is no more! It is now called "First Place".

I've changed it on both the Map and the Listing. Same place, just a different name.

Good run out today - 5 hrs in total. I can confirm RP3's are superb in the wet!!!

Need to clean the bike now though (tomorrow's job).

[Throttled]

Not really in the spirit of the Challenge.

We are accepting 'The Cock Inn' as well as The Cock.

Sorry but we have to draw the line somewhere.

 

Pedant. Surly if it has a cock in it, it will do........

[Paul-Kent]

With regard to Snugburys icecream can I just get a pic of my name/number or will a selfie be required, Cant get a bike anywhere near by the looks

[Stu]

just do your best/worst whatever the case maybe paul

you dont HAVE to have the bike in the pic but the number is a must

[Paul-Kent]

I only ask on this one due to the size of the structure! Hope to do the welsh section easter weekend weather permitting

[Stu]

thats a start from me!

not a bad ride 25 miles to get 3 tags

took me 90 miles

[Ricky]

Holy shit???!!!

[Stu]

I'm not bad with paint you know

90 miles was just getting warmed up..........well actually I was getting cold so I came home

Hi guys, just before i post a pic to pics only section as im not sure if that counts: i went to the white swan (pubs section) in Leven today. I checked google maps street view and there was a White Swan name on the wall which has been removed now. Is this pic acceptable?:

Roxy, seems like you can't stay at home the last days

[Stu]

is that just the white swan hotel

or is it also a public house?

google maps suggests its just a hotel

[Roxyy]

I can never stay at home, I'm always out

Actually I think it's just a hotel, well at least it was on my way back from Anstruther anyway so didn't do any extra miles to get there

Just found another White Swan anyway which is a public house in Kelso which is very close to other tags ..there is also a Black Swan just across the road

[Grumpy Old Git]

Roxy, You are doing brilliantly!

Are you going for the lot this year? Only been done once before (by Priest).

You going t'Rally? Be good to meet you and get feedback on the Tags.

[BECKY91]
