day14

up early (0630) to drop su off at work before heading up to carron valley for the specialized/giant demo day (well weekend for us...). set up roadsigns on approaches in the morning (only to hear that some wee fuckers in denny had been tearing them to wee bits later), then rode out to mark the course. 2 laps of the course lugging course tape and direction arrows, then a lap for good luck - 2.5 hours of riding.

meanwhile the expo area goes up. specialized have brought the BIGGEST inflatable thingy i've seen and a super-pro set up. giant are rolling with fancy vans and SRAM leave a bunch of kit out in their e-z-up overnight (fortunately security are on hand all night).

meanwhile CVDG set up their gazebo and tents next to the remains of Andy's office and soon-to-be site of the new "temporary" deer larder. beer and bbq ensue - two fish courses later and we're onto the main course. logs are chucked into the bbq and we got a proper fire a goin' to fight off the chilly night and the rumoured CV big cat.
