Scotland : Kingdom of Fife CC Ecosse Round the Forth - Sat 31st August

[Fubar]

Here is a link to my record of the last ride, you should be able to export it from there?!?

Just noticed my average speed from that ride I'd be gutted if that's what I was doing these days! Must've been someone holding us up that day, @Col5632 ?!?!?

Damn wrong weekend for me. Unfortunately I'm running a ride in Yorkshire that day. I am going to make it back north again at some point though.

I'm going to have to withdraw my 'maybe' unfortunately, as the function we're going to is a 6 o'clock start. Maybe next time

You stayed on the Gragemouth/ Bo Ness Roads not the best; as I was saying af few pages back you'd be better to cut right up passed the Dry Ski Slope (if its anti Clockwise, left before it if clockwise) for a more pleasant ride with better views.

I see you also went along the A985 to Dunfermline, it'd been more pleasant if you went the reverse of the the bun run for a clockwise route through Torryburn, Cairneyhill and Crossford.

mostly flat, a lump, not really a hill.

The road road is short and sharp then you are parallel to the main road on a quieter road with better views halfway along it theres a sharp dip to a sharp up but its no problem becuase of the dip. If you check out my previous link you'll see the route/ profile.

This is it. It's not that bad. Just a short steep kick. Inveravon Hill.

I know it , just you throw a lump onto a cc ride and the c words used aren't cycle or chat

Nice wee road that one. I remember a previous CC Ecosse ride some years back with Scoosh and some others when i was on fixed and had to come back down the hill (can't remember why now - probably someone had a mechanical as is normal on CC rides) then go back up it without a runny, which was quite hard. That day we followed the cycle path through Grangemouth which was very slow and not recommended.
