Coastal cycling in East Lothian, Scotland and related outdoor interests. Friday, 15 May 2015. Making cycling films, gonna get better soon! I always remember how i thought it would be cool to make a camera small enough that was also waterproof that you could film your rides, then the Go Pro was launched. Last year on a ride i said to a friend `imagine a rotor copter that would follow you filming`. how cool would that be? Well careful what you wish for. More details here at LILY Cam. Surly KramPug 29 MTBR.

Coastal cycling in East Lothian, Scotland and related outdoor interests. Wednesday, 27 May 2015. Bicycle tick boxes nearly all done. So i am kinda done now with needing any new fatbikes, and happy to ride what i have until the Zombie Apocalypse. I have some Surly Puglsey 4" bikes, and the big 5" Surly Moonlander that have things covered for riding the coast around here, esp above the tideline with the 29 wheels for trails and all the new Fatbike tyres available now,. I miss doing stuff like this. I have ...

Coastal cycling in East Lothian, Scotland and related outdoor interests. Saturday, 16 May 2015. Surly ECR build Pt 1; 29 Drop bar big wheel beastie. Having ridden a `KramPug`. a Surly Pugsley with offset 29 Krampus wheels for 3 years now i am sold on the 29 concept, fast enough on tight trails despite the huge circumference they roll like hell over roots and rough tracks, and you get loads of grip and a smoother ride than a regular 29 x 2.35 MTB tyre, but without the drag of a full 4" Fatbike tyre. In be...

What a weird week of weather, warm winds and summer skies one minute, then dark overcast with a cool wind like a winters day, then back tosummer temps an hour or so later! Nearly every day there has been a rain shower, isolated but often heavy,. Further west and inland from the coast the fields are a bit greener. Grey skies at work!
