CC Ecosse Rendezvous ride - Sat 7 Nov 09

[ACS]

As mentioned here

Subject to suitable weather conditions, is anyone intersted in a Rendezvous ride on Sat 7 Nov 09 meeting at Heaven Scent cafe in Milnathort between 1200 -1230 hrs for cake, coffee and banter.

Heaven Scent (Map 58 ref 121046). It’s about 30 miles of so from Cupar, Edinburgh, Stirling bit less from Perth.

Riders make their own way to the meeting point or arrange to join up with others on route.

I could be up for this, how "main" or "rural" are the roads? I have clicked the link but cannot tell

 

[Jane Smart]

Ooops did I read it wrong, are you all just meeting for coffee and a banter on individual rides?? ( sorry a bit of a blonde day, I am a day older now, maybe it is a senile day )

 

[ACS]

Jane

Just trying something different. Ride out, meet for coffee cake and chat and then amble back home.

I used the cafe on Saturday and it was excellent, plan another ride out in this direction next Saturday and thought it would be nice to have a bit of company over lunch.

About 14 miles for Dunfermline but I do not know the roads in that area to provide rural route advice.

 

[Jane Smart]

I am up for this, looking forward to meeting anyone that goes along

:-)

 

[Jane Smart]

Oh and I will be on my new bike too

 

[ACS]

So thats 2, anyone else???

I replied on the other thread already ...
see you there if the weather is semi-decent!

Good idea, SB and one which should accommodate many folk.

As long as I have dried out and it's not pouring with rain, I intend to be there. Are you getting any of the BR folk also - maybe we could even have a wee excursion round to Vane Farm to annoyencourage AMcD B)

For future RV Rides, Loch Leven's Larder, as suggested by Seamab, is a nice place too and in the same locality.

Are you riding over from the city ? From my place in Trinity, it's about 2hrs to Kinross, depending if I go over Cleish Hill (a la Embra-StA route) then about another 10 mins to Milnathort.

Fancy meeting up at FRB/Dalmeny ??

All weather permitting, of course - one day of soakingcycling is enough for a while B)


Yes, I'm a big jessie - but at least I'm a dry jessie now

Excellent idea

I am starting off at Vane Farm with SB so I have just been in touch with AMcD to warn her

This sounds like a great idea and I would be so up for it . I could have cycled over Cleish Hill to Milnathort and back.............never mind, at least I'll see Satan's Budgie and Jane at Vane Farm.

I cycled to Vane Farm last weekend, 25 miles return both days but after being on my feet for three days too, felt like I'd been ran over by a truck on Monday. It's an OK route Jane; went through Crossgates and Cowdenbeath and would be easy enough to carry on to Milnathort (ie hardly any hills) but the traffic would probably put you off at the moment. Not that's it's busy but there are some faster stretches for cars.

Now you've got your road bike we'll have to try you out on a few 'b' roads. I really enjoyed finding the quiet roads of Fife this year, I'm sure you will too. By the way, I've just read about your new Specialised Secteur and thought you were getting a hybrid for your birthday! Good on yer! How are you finding the gears and drops?

Think I missed the 'C' out of my username - doh! Will have to try and change that later...................

Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday

It is a hybrid Angie is it not?

However whatever it is I am loving it and took 15 minutes off my time to Alloa the other day
