CC Ecosse Resurrection Ride May/June

[Ravenbait]

Sorry to have missed it.

I decided that heaving my way round Loch Leven in a gale was probably a bit too extreme for a recovery ride!

TM, that bit heading south from Cleish Hill where the trees on the right end is where a gust of wind knocked me sideways and I hit the verge and flipped the bike into a ditch.

THE BIKE IN A DITCH!
Since no injuries were reported, I am assuming the bike is fine , and you are too, apart from acquiring some suspicious green stains on your jersey.

Funnily enough, all these offs only occur when I am not around ...

Hi Sorry for my late reply, it was so good to see everyone, but my goodness, the wind out there was something else and I have to say I was well out of my comfort zone riding in that!



I wished I could have clicked my heals together, said "there's no place like home, there's no place like home" and magically been teleported back there, but have to say, it is all part of the experience in cycling.



The bacon and egg roll was excellent at Lochend farm.



See you all soon

You should have had that cake Jane Looking round the web a bacon double roll only has around 250-450 calories, this one with cheese only has 420C. After doing the CC ride I'd burnt off 1839C

Hi Guys,

Good to meet new faces (to me) and some old ones (oops sorry Jane

)
Sorry I brought the tone of the whole ride down by turning up on my MTB and causing a change of plans by reading the route backwards (I'm pretty backward myself )
Steve good to hear you're okay but hope that lovely bike is okay too.
John, lovin the lime green tyres, Calum, sweet CAAD8 mate and HLab (sorry I never caught your name) for making all look over weight - no wonder you find the Antenna hill on Lommond hill easy!!! And of course the lovely Jane for keeping the blokes in line

Only 1204 Cals according to my Garmin, doubt that was enough to compensate for the Chinese dinner and half dozen pints of Guiness at the pub quiz!




Anyway, I officially hand over the baton to the next person to organise the next CC ride. Telemark?

It'd probably compensate for the Chinese but I think a single Guiness is 1500calories, food in a glass

A pint of Guiness is only 210 calories

Are you sure you haven't missed out a few noughts there

As soon as someone starts a new thread to get the ball rolling. There seems to be an unwillingness to do this these days, it's always down to the usual suspects to spoon feed the rides. I find that frustrating, it's everyone's forum after all. [/rant]

(P.S. not aiming this at you Jane)

Why don't we just put a date up for a run from Dunblane on the weekend of 23/24th or 30th/31st July ?

 

[Jane Smart]

Mr Ridley, that is an excellent idea, I will start a new thread.



Steven you are right, someone has to get the ball rolling ( or tyres in this case )


I don't know any good routes, except really the one round Loch Leven, which is why I am always a bit hesitant in starting one, also I don't like Edinburgh or Glasgow for driving in to meet everyone and sadly I am terrified of trains
