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

[ACS]

Now that I'm back to the land of short winter days and shitty weather, is there a ride in the offing to help cheer me up?

Welcome back LFG.

Anyone up for a RV ride in the Loch Leven area between Christmas and New Year? (Weather permitting) Tuesday or Thursday would be good, SWMBO is off on Wednesday and she has decided I must be in attendance.

I have been trapped indoors, comfort eating for about a week and may start feeling guilty about it late Sunday afternoon.

11am, -5deg and 4 inches of snow on the backroads, have tried fitting my cleats on to my daughters snowboard but gave that up when she caught me with approaching the said sacred item with a black and decker.

If its round Loch Leven me and Mrs 2711 would likely come along as Im sure the mother in laws Christmas present will secure a few baby sitter tokens... Tues or Thurs fine though thats dependant on a bit of a thaw.

If this weather dramatically improves, I am up for a ride I am going stir crazy here without my bike. My kind neighbour has lent me his turbo trainer, so I must have a go on that, not had time yet, he only lent it to me yesterday

Oh and welcome back LFG nice to have you back on home soil again

pls let this be a goer - not been on the bike for nearly 2 weeks due to the weather and work. Took the dog out for 3 hrs on Christmas day and she loved it but as I was walking thru deep show almost all the way my hamstrings and calfs were screaming for it to end. Really need to get out on the bike as I'm going crazy and really bored on the cross trainer simulating going up falkland hill a few times. Also keep looking at buying new bikey things that I can't afford. However much I want to do this I can only do Thursday though as working in Edinburgh on Tuesday and Wednesday but not working on my other 2 jobs until the new year.
Will keep an eye out on this thread or a new one if it's started, hope you all had a great crimbo

CANCELLED - CANCELLED - CANCELLED​

Real problem for this ride out will be the weather. How about the following:

Place: Loch Leven's Larder (update: 28/12 -Open so this will be the venue)
Date: Thu 31 Dec 09
Time: 1115 - 1130

I will get on the phone tomorrow and see if they are open, if not I will try Heaven Scent in Milnathort.

Due to the weather conditions there is every chance this RV ride will be cancelled. Every time I look out of the window its snowing and more forcast. Ho-Hum

If the weathers improved any I hope to make it, but after 3 months away i'm a bit short on brownie points.

Anyways, I've defrosted the padlock on the shed and hope to change the tyres on the tourer tomorrow. If theres anything on it not working I can always bring the brompton, as long as I get a new helmet before Thursday.

LFG it looks like this cold snap is here to stay from what I was hearing on the weather forcast.

I don't mind the cold, but as I said in an earlier post, the frost and ice terrifies me

I am off on the turbo trainer for an hour or so now, I have borrowed one from my neighbour and it is in my study here, at least it might keep my legs ticking over, til I can get back out on the bike again

The proposed RV ride to Loch Leven - 31 Dec 09 is CANCELLED.
