CC Ecosse ride October

[MrRidley]

Welcome primalgeek! Lots of new people this time , great!
hmmm - not sure about the best route, depends how much you like hills! I am sure some of the locals will be along shortly with expert advice .

If you are worried about this being your longest day yet, you could always cycle to Linlithgow and take the train to Falkirk, and then decide after the CC Ecosse ride whether you want to cycle all the way home or catch the train again. A cheap day return is only a few pennies more expensive than a single ticket.



Something like this - many variations possible, depending on the weather & what we fancy. Longniddry - Gifford cafe - Longniddry are the only fixed points along the route.



What's up Jim? Hope all is well in Weegieland

Yes and no, just some local difficulties to overcome.

Weather permitting, I should be along for the Longniddry ride.

Will be riding from Trinity, so must aim not to be skinned by edindave

.



If anyone else is going to ride out from Edinburgh - Fisherrow harbour just before Mussellburgh is a good meeting point for those coming from the city and from the north of the city. Post up and we can arrange a mutually convenient time

Now that's timing, I've just PM'd you on the very subject!

Skinning indeed! Not likely with my newbie legs LOL... but I'm getting stronger... slowly mind!

How's HJ now, is he back to race-form?

And is that Genesis finished?!

 

[aberal]

I'd like to come along too, put my name down.

I can make either of those locations - both would be good, but could only manage the 23rd.

Slight change of circumstances - I just might manage to make it along to Longniddry too. I'd be cycling out from Dalkeith which is about 10 miles from Longniddry so would aim to be there a little before 11.

It was a bit dreich but stayed dry. Of course the company was excellent as always, as was the soup & cake at the cafe in Gifford . A total of 63k @ 22kph for me according to HJ's computer, or 120k @ 33kph according to mine.

Here are the photos ... all three of them!
