Scotland : Kingdom of Fife CC Ecosse (East) Ride - 16th March - Date changed !

[Col5632]

This is basically the short route of the Dunfermline Sportive which is fairly challenging for the first 10 or so miles, flattens out then near the end is the famous cleish climb which has a nasty start and end but a pretty flat middle, anybody coming via train can get the train to Dunfermline Town station and queen anne is around a mile away from here and i can happily meet people there and guide them to and from queen anne

• The Ride - From Dunfermline round Loch Leven and back again
• Meeting place - Queen Anne High School, Dunfermline
• Route - http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/80335111 Distance approximately 72 km / 45 miles.
• Terrain - Mostly on road, most roads are pretty decent, few dirty parts around knockhill
• Ride time - Approximately 4 hours, excluding stops
• Stops - Food/Cake can be had at the Loch Leven Larder which i think will be between 25-30 mile mark.
• Start Time - 10am

I think you've posted the wrong link, that mapmyride link is for Saturdays route?

 

[Rasmus]

They're coming in thick and fast! Excellent!

You copy/paste too much - the link still goes to the Loch Lomond route

The date is reserved in my calendar - I should be able to come along.

 

[Rasmus]

Looks like there's a train coming into Dunfermline town at 0950, so that should work out nicely.

Yeah i know but its quicker and easier than rewriting it all

Glad to hear you should make it along, trying to get a good few more rides in than we did last year

 

[Deleted member 20519]

Route looks good, I shouldn't have any problems making it along

 

[GBC]

I'll certainly be looking to make it, with the usual ' age and infirmities' proviso

Meant to say aswell with the meeting place being a school there is ample parking for anybody travelling by car
