Just got word that I can't have any more time off on Sunday as it's overbooked already - me no happy bunny

sorry to see that, Kevin, we'll have to arrange another CC Ecosse ride soon ...

another one bites the dust

Here is a reminder of the details & an updated list

-------
Date: Sunday 9th May
Time: 11:00
Route: Linlithgow - 2 options (longer or shorter, tbc on the day?)
Meeting Place: Tesco car park
Who:

SB
JimBr (TBC)
The lovely JS
TechMech
Telemark
HJ
scoosh (TBC) - Spaniel puppy permitting?
Halfmanhalfbike
sleekitcollie
Mad Doug Biker
joemaxi (-1)
scook94
bhoyjim (TBC)
HLab (hangover permitting)
MightyW (i'd rate my chances of getting a 'pass' as fair to middling )
HonestMan1910
Kfinlay
Coco
Touche
goo_mason
currystomper (TBC)

Total 16 (of which 3 are currently "TBC")
-------
It would really help our bookings to have reasonably good estimate of numbers to book a table, as the Park Bistro can probably fill their tables with other people for Sunday lunch easily. We don't want to upset them, as they are quite a good stop-over place for central-ish rides .

Can somebody work out a time to book the table(s) for, with a not too ambitious average speed?

Only 5 days to go

Are we taking a 'piece' to eat at Blackness Castle ? If so, then the stop at park Bistro is more for a coffee/CAKE /chat than a full meal - and can be a bit later - 1430 ?

God, I hate this but-

I'm going to have to drop out too!

My parents(who are nearly 80) are intending to drive to see friends in Milton Keynes leaving Sunday night. I can't let my old man drive all that distance at his age so I'm now taking them down for a couple of days. Them staying in a comfy house and me in a travel lodge!!!

Sorry guys-I hate letting people down but this REALLY is beyond my control

I hope you have a great day-I was really looking forward to meeting some of my cycling neighbours!

The only upside is that I have been wanting to visit bletchley park for ages and this is a great opportunity!

They should be able to get some pensioner rate for the train!

Save killing yourself driving for a start - all that needless Co2, wonderful!

I did the longer route last Sunday and it took just under 2 hours (2hrs 45min including getting to Linlithgow from Kirkliston and back again). Average 23.6km/hr

That's got my vote

I think some of these people may have changed shape since last year



but then again, maybe not
