Just realised how much of a trip it is for me.
Not a deal breaker though.
Train to Linlithgow and ride out from there? You could meet up with mcshroom so he can have his ride over the FRB?

Poll done. I have included dates when I can come out to play for the day. May be able to ride out and meet up on other dates for cake.
If you are planning on using the Loch Leven Larder, its best to book, very busy place at weekends.

Thanks scook! Glad SOMEBODY stepped up to the plate 
to start the rides off again! Have done the doodle. Once the favourite dates crystallize a bit more, we could maybe use 2 dates and just add another route (she says, getting excited), either "in the middle" (Linlithgow/Falkirk options) or I'd be happy to think up an easy East Lothian option, with cakes at the end, if required.

(just back from 3 days on the bike 
in the 
) P.S. As has been said, everybody is welcome, we are not a closed club! If you haven't been on a CC Ecosse ride before, come and give it a try ...

Come on Fran, the East Coasters don't bite, unless you want them to

Definitely interested, but it depends on me getting clear of this bronchitis. I've put later dates down, but I will update as my chest clears as I'd prefer earlier -- Dumb Run V on the 18th June. Don't even know if I'll manage that, yet, I've been ill so much this year!

For an old hand at sportives, CC Ecosse rides will be a mere walk in the park for you!

Hi Telemark, sounds great - newbie here, gradually building up my miles and fitness, will def. consider a CC Ecosse ride in the future. Nice that it's open to all but just wondered what the basic requirements are in terms of fitness? Also, you all hardcore racers with ultra fast carbon fibre road bikes? I haven't a chance if that's the case!

Not me, I'll be on my trusty Trek hybrid (AKA "the tank"). There are some greyhounds among CC Ecosse, and some rather shiny bikes, but they are happy to do these rides at a "social pace" (some cycle to and from the meeting point at their own pace, to make up the mileage ).As for basics, I am never sure what sort of speed we are going at, somewhere around 10-12mph perhaps? But Rule #1 of these rides is that nobody is left behind. So I would say if you have previously ridden a similar distance to the route suggested, you should just come along, the more the merrier!

And before I forget - get well soon Sam!
It was almost empty at 10.30 this am. It was nice to sit outside with Coffee and a Mahoosive Scone.
This linky is a version of a regular Sunday ride for me except I tend to get up to Cleish via Rosyth then Crossford. Also on the way back I'll often go via Cowdenbeath and Burntisland. More than happy with the suggested route tho.
Other option is after decent from Cleish rather than go to Kinross and LLL you cab turn left and head to Powmill Milk Bar. Nice road with very few cars too.

I'll try and be there for my first (after turning up at the end of one last year without my bike just so I could meet you all and have some food! 
. I think that might have been the time where I ended up doing an impromptu tour of the Edinburgh pubs, getting the sleeper back home the next morning, but oddly enough I never told you lot that since you all seemed so fit and healthy! 
Besides, I didn't need to cycle, so why worry?
I wouldn't do that now. Much).

Maybe a gentle, as-fast-as-the-slowest-rider is just what you need - and with CAKE
I'd really like to do the Dumb Run .... but family negotiations will be very difficult

Just been to the doc's (again) and been given some serious medication I am assured will start having an effect within 24 hours (or I've to go back). Not sure how long my recovery will be, but if we're talking early June rather than late May, and it's a gentle sort of affair that won't require any exertion of the sort that leaves you tasting blood/being sick/seeing spots then I might be allowed out to play.
We'd love to have you on the Dumb Run, Scoosh. Then you too can have the bizarre experience that is beef jerky jelly babies and whisky at 4am on the Forth Bridge
