CC Ecosse East

[HonestMan1910]

Hi Coco,

Commute home on Wednesday night and some kids suddenly appeared on the road causing me to brake, skid, over the handle bars hitting the road with head, thank God for helmets, breaking fall with hands and shoulders.

Resulting injuries are dislocated thumb, in plaster for 6 weeks, and severe bruising on shoulders and hips.

Lesson learnt, always wear a helmet, the cracks and dents prove that it could have been 100 times worse.

Are we taking a 'piece' to eat at Blackness Castle ? If so, then the stop at park Bistro is more for a coffee/CAKE /chat than a full meal - and can be a bit later - 1430 ?

Thanks Scoosh(ie), that looks about right to me , and 2 chat opportunities are good, what with all the old CCers to catch up with and new ones to get to know .

Sorry to hear you can't make it, JimBR and JoeMaxi - there will be other rides soon, hope to see you on one of those!

HonestMan hope it's not too painful, and that you recover quickly!
We could pop in on our way back from the ride if you feel like having a bit of company, it's on the way home for some of us . PM me if you fancy a visit from a wee CC Ecosse delegation?

I counted 13 on your list which is not good. Luckily Hobgoblinette (my daughter) and I will come along!
We like the sound of the stop for CAKE .

Yay - the list is growing again!
15 it is

Dare I mention it - there is a strange symbol on the various weather forecasts ... that + cakes + something for the thirst after all those hills = happy CCers

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

That's a bit harsh.
!

Sorry, I wasn't sure if it was one of those 'I'm too posh to use the train' things - things like that really get to me!

I'm a D*ck at times (....actually, make that most of the time) and have such a great way with words, I know, so sorry, I shouldn't have said anything, I know.

Now, when is the ground next scheduled to open up in a swallowing motion??

No probs mate-I've done it myself!

It's already forgotten.........whatever it was.......

 

[HJ]

I think it was a wise move of me to take the picture, so I didn't have to be in it

OK, so we have to use this one

Or this one

OUCH - BIG TIME . That sounds as unpleasant as it certainly is, so look after yourself, take care, go easy on the and and hope you haven't lost confidence/mojo.

We could pop in on our way back from the ride if you feel like having a bit of company, it's on the way home for some of us .

Now there's an idea 15-strong hungry/thirsty CC Ecosse posse descends on the injured man - only to cheer him up, of course

We like the sound of the stop for CAKE [] (minor correction, major impact ) .

Ah, you've come out of hiding/off the fence again .
Look forward to seeing you 2 again

AFTER a visit to the Park Bistro (not before!) ... and possibly not all 15?
Anyway, just a suggestion in case you are getting bored and want an audience who are happy to listen to cycling tales/woes and admire your bruises (and sign your plaster cast ).

[Scoosh]

(and sign your plaster cast )

Hmmm .... reports of a dislocated thumb .... no other breaks ... we'll need very wee pens to sign the stookie

There was something about "plaster off in 6 weeks" ... (post # 239)

Hi I have phoned the PArk Bistro and booked the table/s for 3pm on Sunday, for approx 15 people, but they need to know as exact numbers as we can possibly give them. They could not do 2.30pm hope that this is ok ?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Hobgobblin, I'll have you know that 13 is one of my favourite numbers, so be gone with you and your unfounded pagan superstitions!!
