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

[Col5632]

Darn I could have made the week after but don't think the 9th is a goer for me. Boo!

Date is subject to change depending how many people can make the 9th but saying that we do have a few confirmed for the 9th already

 

[Scoosh]

You not using normal bike at all these days or just switching between?

Not using my upright bike at the mo' as right shoulder and wrist are not as good as they should be and putting weight on them becomes painful.

Also trying to get my "'bent legs"

Moral: Don't get old

I could make myself available on the 16th as well if necessary.

 

[Col5632]

How about doing what we done with the perth ride and just do the same ride both weeks, maybe the second week do the route in reverse?

 

[Get In The Van]

I think i am destined never to get on one of the CC Ecosse rides, i'm off that Sat but......i have a 100k ride on the Sun.
DOH!

 

[Edwardoka]

Would be up for making the journey from Glasgow for this.
Rode to Dunfermline fairly recently, so it would be like continuing where I left off.

 

[tug benson]

I`ll only make one of the days, i have my first spotive on the 24th of march and i`ll will need to up my miles the closer i get to the date

Hi Col, IF I can get my ass into gear I'm hoping to make this one - work has been a nightmare recently but as you know I'm moving on so just need to get out a few times before this one. Best thing with this ride is you CAN leave me behind, I'll find my own way home eventually! Hopefully this will be the start of my cycling year so count me as attending unless I tell you otherwise! Regards, Mark

Scoosh, if you can't make it on the 'bent due to the hills, why don't you come on your real bicycle?

James, see below for why, also Scoosh did message me to say he prob wont make it as he likes to watch the rugby

Glad to hear you are planning on making it along, if you want a few 'practice' miles with company let me know cause i'm needing to start getting out a bit more often too

It's a comfort thing ...

Scotland plays Wales at Murrayfield on the 9th, which means Haymarket station with a bike is probably a really bad idea.

Plan B is to take the train to Alloa and ride over.

Well spotted that man. I never even considered that.

I would also add that the route from Alloa to Dunfermline was very dull. 14 miles of mostly tree-canopied former railway path with not much scenery. Would it be possible to change this to another date, do you think?
