Tried that site,, found it to be to much faffing about, TBH it's more about my lifestyle, lots of not so good things happening just now, pressure from various places, i think cycling and food are my new comforts
although i seem to enjoy the food more 
I'm happy with either route, but we need a decision! What time and where?
Sorry about the delay! Our joiner wanted to fit our job in quicker than expected, and we didn't want to say no. We only just got our kitchen back and have now finished cleaning it, he did an amazing job.
So back to the important business of CC rides
...How about a route similar to this one - Midlothian for a change ... only 51 k, but with an "interesting" climb on the way back
Meet around 11 at our place? Free parking on Sundays, cake afterwards.
HJ will definitely go, I hope I can come along, too, but have got a zillion things to get done before Monday

Sounds okay to me, I did Crow Road and Tak Ma Doon today so my hill training for this weekend is done. Where is the free parking? Homebase?
Great, see you tomorrow then
! It'll be a recovery ride for you, we are happy to make sure you aren't going too fast 
.During the weekend our street and the surrounding area are all free parking. If you are lucky, there will be spaces right outside the house.
Scoosh - are you still coming along too? Anybody else? HLaB?

I'll see how I feel in the morning, if I don't come to Edinburgh I thinking about going up the A823 to Crieff, A822 to Dunkeld and coming back via the back road from Stanley to Perth.

What's the weather like in Edinburgh, its grey and misty here at the moment although it should burn off into a great day?

Still really grey here, if its good weather further west or north I may head that way by the time it clears on the Forth it'll be to late. I'm sure by 11 it'll be a glorius day, have a good ride folks
It was very misty this morning, Arthur's Seat completely invisible, now the lower slopes have appeared ...
I suspect a bit more distance from the Forth and some more altitude will make for spectacular views today , or it might burn off completely and be just like in Stirling .
Cake now cooling and awaiting icing

Awesome weather in Stirling, the fog's gone and it's bright sunshine. Wish I was going out on my bike
Hope you all have a good ride today.
What's up, Eldud? Hope you get back on the bike soon ...

is shining for you alreadyT

It will burn off once you get away from the coast, enjoy your ride

I'm sure it will, it's still summer after all
Have a good ride yourself (and take some pictures for us)!
