Forum ride - Central Scotland

[goo_mason]

Most of my better rides are spiral out of Dunfermline. Getting a train from Glasgow isn't exactly convenient particularly if its a Sunday. Cycling is fairly easy but its not particularly exciting. If we want to consider a Dunfermline based ride let me know I'm sure I can come up with something.

I think we Edinburgh-based types need to befriend someone with a people-carrier with a large bike-rack (or attached trailer) to get us to these rides in comfort and convenience....

I'm still not back on the bike since the flu but I'm starting again on Monday so all going well I'll be up for a repeat in March.

As for the route I wouldn't mind a change but the last one can't be beaten for the absence of cars. We must have passed less than 20 cars outside of Stirling.

A tentative 'yes' from me (depending on whether I can arrange childminding and transport).

Any chance of doing a more *cough cough* Edinburgh-based ride sometime ? I'm sure HLaB will now some good routes out around Edinburgh and the Lothians / Fife etc...

I am with Goo on this one...

I think I have ridden part of the route of the Stirling ride and wouldn't mind doing it, but I am not sure I could keep up.

If it's as hilly as it's made out, I'd be at the back with you. I find the short and very shallow rise from Crewe Toll up Telford Road as far as the left turn off to Groathill Avenue knackering - and that's hardly long or steep (unless there's some kind of optical illusion going on there !)

Right. So I'm sorting out a new bike, so I need a ride to take it on!!

So who is up for a ride in March? If so when? Would starting a doodle be a good idea? Lets get a date sorted then we can sort the place.

Come on folks!

Sorry guys but I will be unable to make March as I have every weekend committed including a week in Majorca (yipee) with Edinburgh RC. Hope you have a good one.

Bah! Your just scared that I would leave you behind....

At the moment I only have tentative a tentative yes from goo, Hairy Jock, quickdraw and Hlab. I'll stick a doodle up when I get a chance to see if we can firm up numbers. I'm happier for a relatively easy ride if that will up the numbers and firm the commitments a bit!

Come on folks!!!

Right. I'm organising a new ride here. No excuses!
