I want to go and see the Kelpies ... can this go on the list of future rides, please? Maybe @Scoosh could be persuaded to edit the OP?

).We could ...
- meet up in Falkirk, do the Tour the Falkirk (already listed in the OP) with a diversion to the Kelpies, or
- go from South Queensferry via Hopetoun and Blackness to the Kelpies, returning via Linlithgow/Winchburgh?
- from SQF to Winchburgh, over the wee roads towards Cairnpapple and carry on via the Kelpies, returning along the Forth/via Hopetoun?
- or how about the new Helix loop which might be fun for a short/slow ride from Falkirk High Station via the Tunnel, the Wheel and the Forth Clyde Canal (a la "bring the family" - would be fun to meet some CC Ecosse sprogs!)

Just an interesting destination that's brand new

Sounds great, so long as I don't have to organise it....

Think I'd rather do that than "organise" another CC Ride...

Id be interested in this one, even more interested at who is riding 100+ mph

There's a very fast downhill
In honesty I'm a wuss descending so I think the graph 29.3mph is more accurate

Ive always got my hand hovering over my brakes when going downhill. Although expect something to happen for some strange reason.

That's where I set my fastest time but only because we done it twice so I knew it was not too technical and there was a long straight followed by a uphill to slow me down
do you mean 100+ miles rides? Not even Graeme Obree has managed 100+mph on the flat ... (sorry, couldn't resist)
I'm sure the audax crowd will pop up soon with some long ride suggestions ... CC Ecosse rides tend to be a wee bit shorter to allow wide participation - and people like @HLaB, @Rasmus, @mr messy and others then just tag on riding to and from the meeting point, even if it's at the other end of the country
