Wow good numbers.

Thanks Telemark for that most very helpful post

I must get more miles in as this looks like a long ride for me, if I am to cycle over and back to Linlithgow as well as do the ride

yes very good numbers ... let's see how many of the "TBCs" turn up

I suspect you might need to change your sig-line, if you ride door-to-door

We did a 62k ride on Saturday, from home out to East Lothian and then a tour of Midlothian, trying out all sorts of wee roads new to us, good fun, but it felt quite hard work at times (lots of short sharp hills). Good training I suppose

It'll be a long one, that's for sure. Dumfy to Linlithgow is approx 25km via the FRB and 35kms via Kincardine. An extra 50km minimum (and it's all uphill on the way back )

You hex'ed me now!! just found out that my son is doing a cycling time trial that morning - so I'll be taxi or will have to look after my daughter.

..got out on the bike tonight for a few hours did 35 miles , so I shouldn't complain!! (I need to get more miles in between now and the EDB 2 StAs!!)

Have a good one if I don't see you Sunday!!

That would be a shame CS if you did not make it, but family, of course must come first. Don;t worry though, hopefully these rides out will be frequent for the next six months, so plenty of other times

35 miles last night, nice one

I must get more miles in now, for this ride out, the pressure is on for me to do the whole route and ride there and back from Dunfermline.

Halfmanhalfbike, has kind of worked it out for me, now i just need to convert it to miles, as I don't work in km

A lot

It's not as bad/good as you might imagine:

1 ride to start
2 refuel while waiting for all to assemble
3 Forum Ride
4 meal/banter after
5 ride back most of the way with others
6 ride rest of way on yer todd
7 cool glass of something white (probably milk, knowing you )

This ride could be good. Never riden in such a potentially large bunch before. It's a mini-peleton
