CC Ecosse (East Central) post-Freeze RV Ride 10/1A

[scook94]

I'm out, working...

 

[HJ]

Here is a route from Dalmeny which we drew earlier...

 

[Jane Smart]

I am willing ( if anyone wants to ) to meet up en-route? Just a thought, although I am quite happy to ride alone also

You've been 'working' every weekend since new year!

 

[Ranger]

Just a heads up for you all that the cycle path on the southbound side of the Forth Road Bridge is closed, you will need to use the other one which means crossing the roundabout or going round on the service road.

Also watch out for the exit off the bridge back onto the road, it is very steep with a barrier at the bottom meaning I usually go for the get off and walk option

So coming from Ed, we have to use the service road under the bridge and use the Northbound (usually the windy) side ?

Also watch out for the exit off the bridge back onto the road

Is this on the Fife side of the bridge ?

Thanks for that Ranger - very good to have input from a regular commuter on the route .

Now, if you want to have a slightly longer, hillier ride to the meet, you could always go south to Cleish Hill, over it, then back onto the B914 to Kelty and see if you can pick up any of us heading North .

If that's too far, we'll just come and chap yer door as we go past .

Correct on using the service road and yes the nasty bit of cycle path is on the north end of the bridge, just before the big lay-by.

As for a longer route, why would I want to do that, I'll stay in my nice warm bed until I have to get up

OK, as you have been so informative and helpful and put the commute miles in - you are forgiven







So you are coming, then ???

 

[MrRidley]

Hope you have a good outing tomorrow, the weather looks not to bad.

Thanks Jim, hope to see you at one of the rides soon

 

[Jane Smart]

I don't believe this, but the fog is so thick in Dunfermline, I cannot see the house across the darn road!! Hope it clears by the morning

 

[gavintc]

Having just spent some time working out the route, planning it all, I then looked at Metcheck. It is not nice tomorrow - sleet and rain. I am planning to come, but if the weather looks horrid, I might wimp out.

+1

 

[Jane Smart]

Well the fog has gone, it is just dark and damp out there but at the moment, no snow or rain or wind

 

[Jane Smart]

Are we still on??
