Ultracycling

Pretty much, yup. I've ridden pretty much all of Scotland other than these roads - I just leave them out.

Such kultural no-ledge from the Aussie

Its regional, you get 'brown sauce' (the recipe is a 'secret') on your chips in most chippers, but mainly in the central belt, Fife etc.

My wife is fae Fife and if I gave her chips without salt and sauce, I would be very dead

Cheese and Gravy was what Aberdeen and Dundee seemed to favor in my experience, but my local in Dunkeld does everything.

Its Scotland at the end of the day, you can get almost anything battered, fried and then covered in what ever sauce you want.

I favour brown sauce, vinegar , salt and mushy peas, but that's because my chip shop culture is a British mish-mash

cultural debate unleashed

Not brown sauce, though, actual gravy? Brown sauce (bottled) is gross (ok, it's maybe ok). There's a chippy a bit of a walk from Manch velodrome that has this evil dark looking shit that's been bubbling away in a pot for a millennia that I quite adore. Vinegar can fuck off. Salt is grand. Mushy peas I can take or leave.

Salt and brown sauce. Anything else is wasting good chips.

This would probably be the highlight of transalba. Working out how to eat hot food well anytime after say 7-8pm

Everything is a bit of a walk from that velodrome.

Sounds like the gravy we had on everything at dinner at school.

Its not HP sauce, or brown sauce per se, its normally made up in the chipper. For max effect its often served from a glass Bru bottle with a hole in the tin lid.

Sounds like the TRans Alba guys have changed the route already - comment from Jack P on Facebook:

Interesting after some twitter criticism of including the great Glen the route has now changed drastically with Sky and Mull included and 3 ferries. that will change the racing logistics ;-) some quiet nights. Having done much of that western route in reverse on a Highlands and islands Audax the ferry timings really count.

Told you it was a draft ;)

Funny how she was close and yet, six days later, she's still riding!

It's all relative!

This is the Ultracycling thread. Anything on the same land mass is close.

ie. Perth is just a quick pootle away from Sydney.

124 days unsupported! Amazing effort.

Fucking A. What a ride. Inspiring.

Awesome ride.

156 mile every day ! Even my girlfriend is impressed .

^ That makes it sound more impressive imo! An amazing ride.

Over 250k / day in a proper unit.

You're a proper unit.

k >>>>>>>>>>

Have I missed something? What is the Pan Celtic Race? How will it work? Ferries between Wales, Cornwall, Scotland, Ireland, parts of English cities and Brittany? (Not necessarily in that order)

Dunno but interesting
