CC Ecosse ride out : 23 July - Dunblane

[jim55]

what route are we doing for this peeps ,,hopefully at some point we will pass a train station that has a line going back to wherever we started,,cos my plan is to drive to the starting point (with the bike on the rack),,cycle for a bit (20 ml or so,maybe a bit more ) and then id have to get back to the starting point to get my car ,,its only if i cant manage a longer route (i dont want to bail ,but im being realistic ,,out in the country absolutely gubbed 30 ml from my car is not an option)

anyway .,,,,,where we going

The route will be a few posts back but basically we are doing a 35mile loop from Dunblane via the cafe at Kippen but we go through Thornhill which is a bail out point if need be and it chops about 10 miles off the route.

Edit: We are doing this route.

right thats no prob,,id imagine there will b a rain station at thornhill if i need to bail ,,i can leave the car in dunblane and pick it up after the cycle

cheers

Is there an agreement on the location to meet up? I would suggest the supermarket (Tesco as I recall) car park on the western side of the train station.

I might abandon you after the stop in Kippen and return directly to Glasgow - depending on leg strength and weather conditions...

I'm not sure if an exact location has been nominated but the Tesco Car Park at the back of the station sounds good

Yep. I think that's probably the best place to meet. What time are we meeting again?

Sorry guys, I now can't make it. I think this is now the 2nd or 3rd time I said I would come along and couldn't for one reason or another. Will keep an eye out for the next one though.

p.s. looks a nice route as well. Reckon I will have a go at this one some other time.

If it's the Tesco's carpark then the postcode is FK15 9AE.

I've got a poorly gluteal cleft, so I'm out unfortunately. Don't think I'll be on the bike for a week or more.
