  • Scobswell continues to amaze.

    He did this yesterday, all 81.2 miles of it, thats a PB for distance for me. Don't worrry, Scobs didn't do it on his own, I had to show him where to go....

    In touring mode, note the rack Ed (and a packed lunch in the cool bag), style bonus! :)

    I've never ridden this far out West Lunnun before, this is Bulls Bridge I think.

    3 amazing things in this picture in order of amayzingness.

    1. Scobswell
    2. The Thames
    3. A mahoosive white boat
  • Scobswell did good again yesterday....

    He helped me get a PB for distance, 92.2 miles in one day.

    He's awesome, I may have mentioned this before :)

  • Dunno if anyone's interested but me and ol' Scobswell are still going strong :)

  • Great stuff!

  • Love this thread.

  • This thread always makes me want to ride my bike :-)

  • Dayyum this is a great thread. Viva Scobswell!

  • :) Ta.

    In that case, I'll do more updates as 'n' when then. Onwards team!

  • Scobswell, "the gift that keeps on giving"! He's still going strong and continues to impress me.

    Last night when The IngerLuhnds were playing I took advantage of the quieter roads and cycle paths, we did an all-out (for me) sprint from Dartford->Big Ben/Westminster Bridge->Dartford.

    We nailed it in under 3 hours, thats fast for me (us), 1Hr 25mins up and 1Hr 23mins back via Q1 which was also a mile further. Stopped at the pub and raised a glass to LFGSS and Scobs. Even adding the last 1.2 mile wobble home from the pub we still clocked in under 3 hours.

    He's still awethumne.

  • Scobswell is on Holiday, I've bought him down to Bath for some R+R.

    We did that 2 Tunnels loop today, it was brilliant. Basking in the Sunshine near the Dundas Aqueduct.

    Cheers Ed, still enjoying it.

  • Inspiring.

  • Its been a while I know, I've been side-tracked by a really nice motorcycle restoration project which took 11 months to complete.

    I pulled this out a barn in Wales...

    ...and after 11 months of graft and lurve it looks like....

    Phwaooaaar! I even managed to get the original reg number back too after a lot of detective work and correspondence.

    Anyway, Scobswell and me are still best buds even though I've neglected my cycling a fair bit so I thought it high time I went out on Scobswell for the day.

    A nice slow steady 46 mile ride up to London's famous London and back.

    On the back of the Dartford crossing wagon to get across the Thames...

    I think most of the Thames had leaked into the underpass at Belvedere where the cycle track goes under a roundabout, it was almost bottom bracket deep in there but we got through without wet feet. Its surprisingly tricky on a FG bike isn't it...

    We had fun today, just wanted to let you know we're still going :)

  • just wanted to let you know we're still going :)

    Nice to see this thread again!

  • Thank you! Its nice to be back. I rode past Ed Scoble's place of employment today, thats where Scobswell was handed over a few years back, awwwww....

  • It's always good to read your ride reports. As far as I know, Ed doesn't work at Evans Ludgate Circus any more, if that's the one you mean.

  • Oh! I didn't know he'd moved on, ta Oliver. Lucky I didn't pop in on with a bunch of flowers and box of milk tray then I suppose.

  • "Keep on riding."

    Okey dokey, will do Mr Goat.
