Scotland : Edinburgh & Lothians CC Ecosse ride and/or RV ride - 9 November

[mr messy]

I was going to say you will be lucky but the bloody wind always comes from the west

I DO sort-of know where I'm going in that I cycle to the centre of town and know where the pool is, however if there is a better/quieter route then all well and good - stop you moaning that I've got you lost in the big city...

I trust you to know where you are going Mind i've barely been on the bike so most likely slow

One day I'll be able to join one of these rides again. Been years since I was on the last one!

How I wish my daughter had got into cycling (or even learned to ride a bike). She stays with me every weekend & arranging to get time off from that is never easy.

I need to be somewhere late afternoon so unfortunately I'm a no.
Looks like it should be a fine day so enjoy the ride.

Hi guys, may have to pull out . Mrs S got a few injections on Wednesday and has had a big reaction and we might have to go see the midwife. Will see how things are in the morning and let you know.

 

[DougieAB]

Sorry to hear that, hope all is well with Mrs S. Keep us posted.

In a @jazloc -esque twist of fate, after telling @Louch to have a word with himself, I won't be in attendance tomorrow. On the commute home I snapped my internally routed rear derailleur cable and there's no chance of getting a replacement in time. Have a good'un!

Sorry to hear that, hope she makes a quick recovery and all is well.

Hi Goo, long time no see ... Your daughter will grow up much faster than you imagine ... these rides have been going for while, no reason they won't carry on until then . We'll have to arrange a summer ride to finish at Mimi's one of these days, I seem to remember you saying your daughter doesn't mind eating their cakes ... then you could at least join the blether and the cake, that's 2/3 of the CC Ecosse ride ingredients taken care of

As telemark says, more important you see your daughter grow up rather than our ugly mugs!

Get well soon, Mrs @ShooglyDougie, hope it's nothing serious!

Hope you can get it fixed quickly ... speaking of @jazloc - where is he hiding these days?

I've tried to keep track of what everybody has said so far, please edit if I got it wrong/forgot somebody:

Meeting at Commie Pool:
@Fubar
@tug benson
@Col5632 .. the Fife (and Alloa!) boys cycling via the FRB, hoping not to get lost in the big city
@DougieAB ... from Gorebridge
@Rasmus ... train to Waverley
@mr messy ... possibly cycling all the way from Weegieland (departing at sunrise )
@Telemark
@Scoosh ... hehe .. being press-ganged by the Fife/Alloa posse
@HJ ... definitely present for the Ride , I'll see if he can be convinced to join the RV

EDIT Telemark: Oi Mr Moderator (or should that be @ Moderators - deliberate " " space in here ) - will you stop editing my posts!

Maybe?
@Louch ... feeling better?
@ShooglyDougie ... may need to stay with Mrs S, fingers crossed
@Harry_Palmer79 ... did you mention cycling from Anniesland for the RV only?
@HJ ... will see if I can convince him to join the ride, rather than just "turn up" at the RV

Sadly not able to join us:
@edindave ... life getting in the way
@Edwardoka ... breaking his bike
@goo_mason ... on duty - we'll eat a piece of cake & drink a cup of tea in your honour

@Scoosh better be going, he's our guide! We have his mobile, pester-power

I was playing wait-and-see with my knee, physio stretches plus the new commute have really helped.
