Central Scotland Forum TdF ride

[HJ]

Hi All, just got back from holidays, where I managed a paltry 25miles around the East Mainland in Orkney.

reading through the thread, it appears we are having a ride round Falkirk, leaving the Grahamston station approx 10:30 on Sun 26th. Can someone confirm please?

If so, count me in.

If we are using this route (as shown further back in the thread) http://www.bikemap.net/route/238063 it starts from Falkirk High Station. Apparently it is not far to cycle between the two, but I dinae ken Falkirk well enough to give directions...

Another one back from the hols ...

Yes I had heard reports that you had been sighted...

I have to say, albeit I will not back out of this, I am quite nervous having NEVER ridden on the road before.

But looking forward to it

Do tell. (or are we going to turn this into another mystery thread)

I d like to come too I stay in Falkirk and I reckon Falkirk High would be a better starting place

 

[scook94]

Gordi, perhaps you can advise us on a bike friendly place/pub where we can grab lunch at the end of the run?

 

[Jane Smart]

I don't know Falkirk nor know where Falkirk High is. Is it easy to find??

I don't think its hard to find but the couple times I've took the train there Id cycled along the canal from Edinburgh and took the train back.

You were seen by a lurker on this forum, around 17:25 riding rapidly through Burdiehouse (not surprising yous was riding rapidly then), towards the bypass, the other evening...

The High station is a bit hard to find halfway up a hill called the glen brae but on a side street. At least its halfway up the hill, I am not sure about any nearby cycle friendly pubs unfortunately

 

[Jane Smart]

If anyone is driving and wants to meet in their car I am up for that somewhere

 

[gordimhor]

Sorry folks but I can't make it this time work is the curse of the cycling classes also my link is nae workin

 

[Theseus]

Are we having a pre-ride roll out from Embra to Falkirk?

If so where are we meeting & when?

Who is up for this?

If there are no takers I may chicken out and catch the train.
