CC Ecosse RV cycle ( # 2)

[Telemark]

I think we can safely rule out this sat for the meet, unless we want a soaking of Scoosh proportions .

Sunday looks quite dry now but a headwind for 50+ miles to Stirling from this end . I suppose it would be "plain sailing" for the Westies ...

hmmm there is always the option of taking the train towards Stirling and cycling back ... I haven't given up on this one yet, but sadly it looks like work may get in the way this weekend yet again

Went out in the car today for a wee recce to Linlithgow, think I found a quieter road than that awful road to Bo'Ness from the FRB

If I were going from FRB to Liligow, my preferred route would be to Dalmeny, Main Street West, Standingstane Road, down the hill , Right at T junction, to Kirkliston, B 9080 to Liligow. Simples

Alternative would be (from SQ) Stuart Terrace, Hopetoun Road, Society Road, through Hopetoun Estate, Abercorn, straight over A 904, continue to B 9080 and turn Right.

B 9080 is a good, direct road to Liligow and wide enough not to be awkward for bikes. It's used by PfS - in fact both of the above routes (in reverse) have been used by PfS in the last couple of years.

Starting at SQ suits me, as I would be cycling across the FRB so that is better for me

Have fun folks, I shan't be there tomorrow.

Has anything been decided?

I was due to be laying a lot of laminate flooring tomorrow, but I have 'postponed' it


I should be free on Sunday too.

 

[Jane Smart]

Is this on tomorrow then? I can manage tomorrow or Sunday but would need to know quite soon

 

[SilentSoulDragon]

Hope the heavy rain holds off for you guys.

 

[Jane Smart]

Looks like it is not on today, so I think I am going to head out on another wee ride ( well 40 miles I believe )

I can do tomorrow if anyone is up for it, if I am still able after todays ride

 

[Jane Smart]

bump to try and get something organised soon

 

[JiMBR]

Yep...would like to meet you nutters...erm, I mean you nice people

At the moment the forecast for next weekend looks decent...

fingers crossed!

Sorry I couldn't make it this weekend . Our flat is now very tidy due to friends visiting yesterday, and there is a small bit of treacle tart left ... Today we had to do an emergency repair to the allotment shed after discovering dampness inside, due to perished roofing felt. At least I got 15k of cycling in, there and back . Surprisingly there were many cyclists out and about, despite the showers and blustery wind.

I'm still well below my November target on Cyclogs, not pulling my weight for CC Ecosse .

So next weekend then??

Hope so, I am free both on Saturday and Sunday.

I had a good weekend I managed 75 miles in total :-)

Me too, hope all goes well at ERI on Tuesday and I can get back on the bike before the end of the month.
