CC Ecosse (East): Cobwebs - What Cobwebs ?

[Scoosh]

It is time for CC Ecosse (Embra/East) to dust down their bikes

, lube their knees

, find their shoes

and head for the cake shop.

The weather looks like it might not be too

or

this weekend, so I am thinking about going for a wee daunder to Craigie's Farm Deli and Cafe, out by Dalmeny - the same as was proposed by Telemark back in January, that became a victim of the deluge.

Anyway, I was thinking of being there for 1200-ish, returning in time to watch the 6 Nations Rugby starting at 1430.

An RV Ride differs from our 'summer' rides in that you choose your own route to the RV cafe and we just meet for cake/coffee/chat. Summer rides we meet and cycle together. I know there are a few newcomers to CC (Ecosse) who haven't been on a ride yet, so, if you live in Edinburgh or East Lothian (or further afield - no limits

), here's the plan:

- decide how far/what route you want to ride to Craigie's Farm

- guess how long it will take you to ride that distance

- double it

- do the sums to calculate your start time (roughly

)

-

to Craigie's

- wait for/meet other CCers as they/you arrive

-

- depart whenever you wish and ride home (you might even get some company

)



If you are new to CC Ecosse and in the area, do come along - we'd love to meet you, learn from/about you - and we don't bite (except the cake

)

Weyhey!

I was wondering when the Ecosse crew would emerge from hibernation!

Not been on an RV meet before... sounds good

I hope to be there


I'm looking after my wee boy on Sat am while his mum does Parkrun, so I'll probably just be heading straight there for noon.
Looking forward to catching up! Oh, that and... cake!!!

Cheers,
Dave

Bring them both along - good triathlon training

!

I have a broken paddle shifter on my good bike, so may well be riding out on my hybrid - not very quickly

Just a bit to far for me this early in the season about 40 each way so I will say thanks for the invite but I will have to pass on ths one.

Wish you all a safe ride and enjoy the cake.

Won't be able to make it as I'll be roughly at West Linton by then. (I'm doing a round the pentlands ride in training for the Kinross sportive)

But................never mind the cake. Craigies have some fantastic buffalo burgers.

 

[Jane Smart]

Dont think I can make this Saturday either, but logged on with the intention of starting a thread saying it is about time we and met again

 

[scook94]

I have a Uni class reunion meet/piss up in Dundee this weekend, so I'll have to pass on this one.

 

[primalgeek]

I'll just need to hurry up and finish off decorating before the weekend or SWMBO won't allow it!

As it's all about cycling wouldn't have been better to linky to the bike map here http://www.craigies....p_-_bike_0.pdf?

Hmmm, I wonder if I can fit this into a training ride? I'll have to have a look...
Is it unacceptable to show up, say "Hello I'm fimm" and disappear without eating cake?

Not totally ! Even training rides need re-hydration/re-victualling - for the energy, of course

.


I do hope some of the newer CCers can make it - especially those who might only have started cycling in the last few months

. You know who you are

.... (and so do we

)

Yes, definitely - if you are coming off-road !

I looked at the bike map and made the decision that the car-bus map was clearer. I have been known to be wrong

.

(and that link isn't working for me at the mo'

)

Look forward to seeing you - without the paint etc

.

 

[Ravenbait]

Maybe. Can't commit to anything, though. I'll be obvious if I do turn up.

[JiMBR]

I'm in the same boat as SB...too far for me at the moment (and probably for a while to come).

See y'all on another ride.

Hello all . I'll try and make it .craigies is a regular haunt for myself .all depends what time I finish my night shift on sat morning at . . Might turn up muddy as good off road route to craigies .

 

[Scoosh]

Of course, if coming from further afield, you could always take an alternative form of transport (train/car ?) to a point nearer (Linlithgow/Embra), ride

to the RV,

,

then back to the 'alternative transport'.
