CC Ecosse Resurrection Ride May/June

[GAVSTER]

Looking at the windy weather folk will fly up Cleish off the top and land in Kinross

Then spend twice as long getting back. BBC say 30mph WSWerlies. Yikes.

[Jane Smart]

Unless it is absolutely chucking it down, I will be there tomorrow.



I was going to meet you all en-route, but I cannot get the link to work. I will log on again later, to take a look and see where best to meet you, failing that i will see you at Inverkeithing

As long as you don't cut in short in the fashion of Stirling last year

Met Office are forecasting 60mph gusts tomorrow. Probably won't need to pedal over the Cleish Hills. This is going to be FUN!!

I am seriously a fair weather rider these days after my wet day fall off my bike last october, so if it is raining it is a no no from me sorry

If the forecast is right there might be an early shower about 10am but it'll quickly dry in to good day. I hope to see you tomorrow, just remember its a CC run and relax corner more upright and take your time if necessary.

Hi Jane, like HLab says. It's a cc ride so nobody should be trying to descend like Alberto Contador (hopefully) + I'm terrible at cornering in the dry never mind the wet so I'll be keeping you company !

Met office Forecast has just changed to remaining dry so should be OK

Is this a macho, sprint up hills kind of deal? Ordinarily that wouldn't bother me, but I'm only just starting to recover properly and I don't want to set myself back this close to the Dumb Run.

Go as fast or as slow as you want to uphills, I go very slow down them ;-)

I was out yesterday when my rear mech jammed and got pulled into the spokes of my wheel. So a rear mech literally ripped in two, twisted chain and a wheel with all drive side spokes damaged, bent or busted! Not happy as trying to get funds to build a new 'good' bike. If it's dry, I'll come out on the MTB and try to keep up!

Sam

Sprint up hills?....HaHa. The word grovel more properly describes my hillclimbing technique!

 

[Telemark]

Cough & blocked nose not getting better ... and now HJ seems to have caught it, too.
Unless there is a miracle recovery, I am afraid that's both of us out.

Have a great ride, and remember to take lots of pictures!

Wish I could join in tomorrow but work commitments scuppered it for me

Hope you all have a great day
