Have fun! hope the weathers kind. looking forward to the January one.
If I didn't know you better, I could be tempted to think you were rubbing it in ....lazyfatgit said:
........ but saying you are "looking forward" to the January one - well, that means you must really be missing our rain, cold, winds etc etc
Expected to see you at the top of the CC Ecosse Team list, though ... with all that daylight, warmth, flies, wallabies, pub stops etc etc ....

i'm looking forward to meeting some new friends, as well as reaquainting with some old... not sure about the weather tho
unfotunately i'm living up to my monicker. too many long days and some entertaining in the evenings. i promise to try harder this weekend, but i've been invited to a flitting to help, and some fence posts to put in on Sun. (all accompanied by an esky of beer)
can't make Saturday now ... some friends are coming to Edinburgh, and would like to visit us, so I am afraid we'll be eating home-made cake instead of Corrieri's.Might be able to make Sunday, but the forecast needs to improve a bit ... currently it doesn't look so good for either day. Or else there is always next weekend, nobody said we HAD to do the RV2 ride this weekend
.Maybe it's the mention of St*rl**g that makes the weather go funny ... it seems to have happened a couple of times before

Yeah .... BUT there is an (unwritten) assumption that you will do at least 50-60kmscook94 said:
before you end up at Corrieri's . After all, you have to 'qualify' for your foody goodies at Corrieri's , yes ??? ... and "a loop" could be very big too - over Kincardine Bridge/FRB ?
I think any further mention of rides being 'doomed' by weather, Seamab, Scoosh, Stirling et al should be treated with great cautionTelemark said:

Do you think WE (or rather you and Seamab ;-) are that powerful? ... we should sell you/rent you out to dry places then 
, thereby making the 
return and having lots of spare £££ for getting new go-faster bikes for the rest of us. Hmmm where is my waterproof coat ...It's only Wednesday today, and often these low pressure systems don't follow the predictions being made about them. But then again it is the middle of November, the season of storms has begun ... we can't really complain after the last few weekends.
Fingers crossed

scoosh said:"Round the Forth Route" (as done by Seamab, Scoosh, Hobgoblin and young Heather Hobgoblin in Aug/Sep ??) is fine and a nice enough route - if you can find it. We 'explored alternative routes' a couple of times, some of which I have resolved but still got 'lost' going to Linlithgow
I tried to trace it on Bikemap just now (using Open Cycle Map as a background, as that doesn't work at high resolution properly), for looking at and also to see how far it is from Edinburgh...WIth some slight modifications (bits I already KNOW I don't like) it's 86.5k (that's 53.7 M for the "imperialists") to where I think Corrieri's is approx....
now off to look at it with the satellite/hybrid view on
and get all excited about cycling it some time soon . T

Is it because I am new to cycling that the weather just doesn't bother me? Or is it that I am completely mad
( ok for those that have met me please don't answer that one )
I don't know Stirling at all, so if we are going there, perhaps I could meet some riders closer? If it is Linlithgow, I still don't know the area, so again I would need to meet someone en-route please.

Jim, I am still only discovering the roads in Fife by bike, as I have driven them all my adult life
