Scotland : Edinburgh & Lothians Future CC Ecosse Ride suggestions

[currystomper]

.... I was wondering about organising "A brew at the Bridge" one evening before it gets too dark (That's the Forth Road Bridge).

I'd recumbent along to the south car park with my jetboil and we could all met for a chat and a brew.

There will be cake - but only if someone brings some

This seems to be something that will work, however with the nights drawing in I will think I'll wait until next year to start these off.

IF I have the day off on sunday 7th September (and assuming it's not torrential rain) does anyone fancy a 42 miler starting at Carlisle and visiting Hadrians Wall? Choice of 3 cafe stops

Doctors still won't let me back on two wheels unfortunately

Solution: a trike

Seriously though, GWS!

I would be interested in a CC Ecosse round the Tay (would be my first CC Ecosse ride).

Did it myself the other week, mostly quiet roads apart from the A912 between Perth and the Abernethy turn off.

My Strava for anyone interested. http://www.strava.com/activities/181413373.

My Tour De Tay last week...I got a wee bit lost in Errol

Midlothian certainly gets about, doesn't it ... ?

I'd be interested in doing a Tour de Tay depending on dates

We are doing it the day before as a night ride:

I'm up for either, I need to get over my (justified) fear of night riding (although it might be impossible to get down there with the new border controls that will be in place by the evening of the 19th )

@MikeW-71 would you be potentially up for the night ride? (or anyone else, for that matter?)

P.S. To everyone else, sorry I've not arranged a Tayside meetup, will start a new thread.

I am certainly thinking about it, I just need to work out if I have enough lights to get through the night. I finish work at 8pm on the friday...... Hmm

New thread here

I just need to work out if I have enough lights to get through the night.

I definitely don't have sufficient lights, I'd probably have to order some haribo off a certain website (and maybe ask them to put some lights in the box while they're at it...)

I'd be interested in a cycle round about Edinburgh if anyone is thinking about one.

Maybe a ride out to north berwick and back?

Thread bump!

Anyone got suggestions for rides for November or December?

 

[Telemark]

Not yet, I'm afraid ... still got too many things up in the air that need dates fixed...
I suspect it'll soon be time to switch to RV rides again!
Somebody just needs to name a time and a place with good soup & cakes
