Midweek catch up... Ready for Forth Fat...

All the T-shirts from previous East Coast Fatbike Gatherings, including the first Gathering at Holy Island...

One more day at work then it`s Forth Fat Fatbike Gathering 2017!,
Ready to roll here, with just one more day at work, some pics this week...

Monday i loaded the new Surly Pugsley to take to North Berwick to sell, it`s off to a good home as friend Markus`s brother Matthias has bought it, and Markus is flying it out to Germany this week for him.
Matthias did not need a test ride as he has already ridden the bike having borrowed it for the Capital Trail event last October.
I have probably rode under 100 miles on the bike since then as i only really ride my original Surly Pugsley Fatbike that has both 29+ and Fat wheels, and the new Surly Wednesday which now also has a pair of +wheels.  Time to thin the fleet and pay off money owed and move on...


Built up the other spare Surly 29+ Rabbit Hole rim and Surly Ultra 135mm hub this week to use as a front 29+ wheel for my old Pugsley... previously i was sharing the front 29+ wheel between both Pugsley`s...


Friend Colin popped round yesterday evening for a loan of a tool to get his Pugsley cranks fixed for this weekend and i had him grinning after a spin around the street on my Pashley Speed 5 :)


Car to work today and around the coast to North Berwick, blossom is out on the trees, like the Cherry trees at Whitekirk church...


Lovely morning views...


Be a few tyre tracks on the beaches around here by next Monday!...




Busy day at work with usual jobs...





And also prepping for this weekend`s CANTEEN Street Food Festival,  Link here...



The Forth Fat posse is stopping by here for the air display at 2pm and a bite to eat and a pint of Ale from the resident KNOPS Brewery...

Got some `me time` this evening to chill out as things kick off tomorrow-Thursday evening when arrivals will be around North Berwick.
All those popping up for one or more days have a safe journey here and see you on the beaches...





More soon...

  1. Hi, I am in the process of building a bike, we met briefly at Law cycles Wednesday evening. I am working this weekend so doubt I will get to catch up with the Fat bike tour. I don't suppose you could keep an eye out for a wheel set please and any components really. Great blog. Many Thanks

  3. Hope it went well - could not attend due to never being able to earn enough Brownie Points to beach bike on our wedding anniversary.
