CC Ecosse mince pie & stollen ride (RV ride#3)

[Telemark]

Don't worry...we're a nice bunch really...you just have to watch out for those Weegies.

I know

To be fair though, it wasn't the Weegies offering to eat all the pies or relieve us of our "silver"

I've driven around Edinburgh often enough that I can get us there using major routes, but I'd much prefer the cycle path as, no doubt, I'll get to see bits of Embra I've never seen before!

Not sure what Scoosh's plans are for a ride that day but if it included meeting us along the way as a guide, that would be terrific.

That's a large bowl of "luxury mince meat" ready, it just needs to be stirred a few times and then "rest" until next weekend .

Healthy cycling food, full of goodness ...
big apple, orange & lemon juice, dried fruit, almonds (and a few other things )

It's not difficult at all, you just mix all the bits together and stir them round ...

Hi, I've not been around for a while but a Sunday is a better day for me, I hope to see you there.

I can't make it...moving house, having babies...blah, blah, blah....but it is good to see you back HLaB! I hope all is going as well as it can be.

Good, that saves me having to phone you...

Any more of the Central Scotland CC interested in coming along? The more the merrier...

It is then fairly well signed to the end of the Roseburn cycle path. After that I normally take a different route which you need to know where you are going, hence I suggest following NCN 1 to go round Haymarket, then leave it again at Palmerston Place. Instead of going through the New Town, you turn right then keep straight on through the lights at the end and keep following the road ahead until you get to a roundabout.

A small warning. The junction at Haymarket that takes you from Palmerston to Torpichen is currently closed to traffic. As a cyclist, you can push your bike around the roadworks, but you should be aware that West Maitland Street is still not very traffic friendly. Ignore the road closed sign on Palmerston Place and then wend your way across the pedestrian crossings.

Scooshie's plans for a ride - any ride - are currently dependent on the Hydrocolloid dressing doing it's magic on the road-rash on his right hip, following an uncomfortable 'OFF' on ice near the top of Cleish Hill last Friday. BIKE IS OK

I'm a bit bruised but seem to be all right. I don't like riding in the icy cold, though it was a fabulous ride up till then - FRB, Hill of Beath, Ballingray, Vane Farm (soup/roll and fabby pecan/maple cake thing = turbo power up Cleish Hill) ..... then it all came crashing down rather quickly, just as I was saying to myself "now watch out for ic.......... OH .... *dear* .... "

I might well manage a spin to meet youse over the FRB and escort you to HJ's for .

I'll need to check out the route - might be better to go Roseburn/Gorgie Road ....

Thanks for the heads up - ain't the Embra roadworks a joy

Yep, I live on West Maitland and it has been a fun year. Every day there is a new area being dug up - in most cases the same holes that were filled in only a few weeks previously.

HLaB, nice to have you back on stream.

Take care of yourself
