First 300 were ok but the padding in the seat turned to stone for the ride home

Ha Ha! yes the seat (or plank as I prefer to call it), is the next thing on mine to be "modified" in some wayWassy wrote:Bike swallowed the miles up no problem but the main issue for me was the seat. I hadn’t planned on doing that many miles but it was a lovely day and I didn’t have to get home at any given time so kept rolling. I did take a wrong turn at one point which probably added A few miles but I won’t forget it for a while.

Yes, there was a queue outside to get in.Yogi Bear wrote:The Chippy?
Apparently the chap who made that famous has sold it and opened the “Fish Hoose” in Thornton.
I can recommend the breaded Haddock, made to order & you can sit in![]()

Think I’ll just stick to shorter distance rides. To be fair it was ok for 350 ish miles then I developed a sort of one cheek at a time riding position if you know what I mean.dave the german wrote:Ha Ha! yes the seat (or plank as I prefer to call it), is the next thing on mine to be "modified" in some wayWassy wrote:Bike swallowed the miles up no problem but the main issue for me was the seat.

I knew that. Great coastline, recognised it straightaway from our east fife coastal path walk. East Fife is a bro place to visit and stay any time of year. Not sure about the quality of roads for biking but the place is just so real. Scotlands best kept secret.Wassy wrote:Bike swallowed the miles up no problem but the main issue for me was the seat.
