CC Ecosse Resurrection Ride May/June

[Jane Smart]

Yes it was going to be a BBQ last year, when Hubby was home as he was going to cook it, then I can't remember what happened ( was it the rain?)

 

[eldudino]

I reckon I could possibly make it to Dunfermline with the bike seat (& Iris) if there's a BBQ on the go!!!

 

[Jane Smart]

Stan is not off now for a couple of months, so how about we make this one a ride out and I will speak nicely to him re the BBQ on his next Saturday off

 

[ACS]

Time waits for no man.

Its decision time folks.

Step forward the brave.

 

[kfinlay]

Been choked with the cold all week and not getting better. Will keep an eye on this thread and see if I can make it on the day.

Okay, so we have 2 dates picked Saturday 21st and Sunday 29th. Are we happy to have 2 rides on successive weekends or do we want to postpone the 29th to the weekend after where we still have 10 votes for each day?





We also need to firm up the routes, the Loch Leven one is one option and I'm happy to do that one on the 29th. We can of course do the same route on both dates, otherwise those doing the 21st will need to pick a route. It's only a week away!!!!




Thoughts?

The 29th suits me best as it a Sunday (Saturdays AM are club runs) but if this ankle doesn't heal up I won't be doing next Saturday anyway, I'm hoping it heals up before tomorrow though.

 

[Telemark]

Yay, we have a date & route fixed for the 29th
Is the station car park a good place to meet up?
And what is a good starting time that allows those from further away to get to Inverkeithing?

21st no longer possible for me , as ACS said ... time doesn't wait
so that's me out of organising anything on that day (have edited my doodles).

IMO, there is nothing wrong with weekly rides being offered , it allows us all to do as many as we want to/are allowed out for, and nobody has to miss out on a once-in-a-blue-moon CC Ecosse occasion.

We just need somebody to say, OK, I'll do the ... Loch Venachar route on the xxth, starting from Dunblane, 11-ish. Pretty sure there will be some "takers", there are enough of us now

The station is a good place to meet I think, its got plenty of space to hang about in.

Trains are pretty frequent to Inverkeithing, even on a Sunday but as I'll only be cycling 3 miles down (literally down) the road any time suits me.

 

[Halfmanhalfbike]

WaHey I can make this one. Can anyone remember the start time the last time you folks did this route?

 

[Jane Smart]

I am ok for the 29th, think i will probably just do one of these so not the 21st for me

If doing the Loch Leven loop here's a reminder of some eating places

No 4 is Vane Farm not Vale I've only been to once lately though not because its bad but because I don't like the B9097 I always get a strong head wind on it and it feels like cars pass me closer on what is a potholed road in places. There also an eating place (pub in Kinnesswood) but you can't keep an eye on bikes.

 

[Scoosh]

LL Larder has good bike facilities

but IMO poor service, a bit pricey and is usually crowded.

MrRidley and I did a ride a week or two ago and used the Loch End Farm as a base - they were very accommodating, kept an eye on the car and even kept some soup for us for when we finished

.

There is also a cafe in Kinross - Cafe98 (which I think used to be Sunrise). Been there once - was OK, if a bit small for a mass CC Ecosse ride. I believe it's run by the same folk who run Heaven Scent.

I can't do Sunday 29th - but I'm sure this won't put anyone off !

 

[Dave Crampton]

Damb I can't make the 29th. Next time perhaps.

Anyone out on the 21st?
