Central Scotland Ride

[mcb2080]

I hope everyone is training hard for the meet!

I am on the smirnoff training plan the now

Don't want to over do it and peak too early

 

[Tetedelacourse]

...only when folk run red lights. That reminds me, I really need to edit that footage of you Tete....

Hey, it was safe to do so

Looking forward to catching up again though. I've been on my bike literally once this year Will be a laugh.

On an interesting side note, Linlithgow is notable to me, amongst other reasons, as being the place where my Dad claims he got hit on the head with... a kidney. It was fairly close to the abbatoir and a hungry seagull must have found an open bin and taken its pick but then lost its grip at a crucial moment, which resulted in Faither Tete receiving a blow to the napper. Whether it's true or not I'm not sure, but a good tale nonetheless.

That kidney be true, surely! He may have been stoned at the time, or he was taking the pi$$.

I'll get me coat!

 

[Tetedelacourse]

He was apparently in a beer garden at the time so a liver would have been more portentous.

 

[HJ]

So every one clear on where we are starting off from?

 

[MrRidley]

No where is it? i'll be getting the 9.30 train from queen st hopefully, how many other people from glasgow are going for this one?

 

[ACS]

Some are saying the railway station others are saying Tesco's. My vote is Tesco's, parking, toilets, cafe, cake mmmmmmm cake, and its close to the railway station.

 

[magnatom]

I'll make a decision then.




Tesco's it is!

I'm flexible which train I get. If quite a few are heading for the 9:30am, I'll go for the 8:30am.

 

[MrRidley]

Ok is it possible to make a note of people getting what train, i think it would be easier for everyone if we knew how many are getting on trains.

Unless I hear otherwise from Scoosh, I'll be getting the train from Edinburgh. No idea what time the train is as I've not thought that far ahead yet...

 

[eldudino]

I'll probably bung the bike in the back of the car and park at Tescay's.

Ok so at what time do you expect to be leaving Tescos??

 

[lazyfatgit]

I'll be getting the 9:30 from queen street. that's the earliest connection i can make from Motherwell.

If anyone from this area has spare space on a car, i'd be happy to chip in for fuel costs.

 

[ACS]

I have just updated the list on Page 11.

In addition I have made up 15 colour route maps, based on the OS for the area. If you would like one please ask on the day.

If you have Memory Map software I can forward the map file on to you by email, please PM me with an address.

I think it was supposed to be 10:30am. If I'm there early I can do wome warm up laps of the car park!
