Hello everyone from Sunny ... I mean Rainy Scotland!

[redcard]

Welcome to the site from the east coast, done PFS the last 3 or so years and i always enjoy it, maybe have a CC Pedal for scotland group this year?

Good idea.

Is there a PDS 2012 thread?

welcome to the forum

+1 on redcards suggestions, the cycle track that goes out from paisley is good. Sometimes cycle tracks are not in great condition but this one has miles of nice smooth tarmac and is a pleasure to be on. If you fancy going to Troon you can take it all the way there (although some sections are on the road) would make for a good day out in the summer.

Hi Jillywitchy, welcome to the forum. Probably best to start a new post in the "Welcome Mat" here:

http://www.cyclechat.net/forums/the-welcome-mat.14/

So that everyone gets the chance to know you and say hello! I'm in Dunfermline as well, 100 miles in a week is pretty good! We have a forum ride going out tomorrow if you are interested, check out the CC Informal Rides and Events section for "CC Ecosse - Round the Forth" here:

Not yet but can be done

Be cool to get some kit made up and just have a bit of banter along the route

jillywitchy and to CC !

You seem to be learning fast how to post things and great to have you around .

Sadly, you joined just too late to get involved in the inaugural CC Ecosse Forum Ride of 2012, when we went Round the Forth on Saturday. Despite the mist and fog, we didn't loose anyone, mainly due to expert navigation from Honestman1910 and sleekitcollie. We were very ably gathered for our ride by Fubar and Col5632, who will probably be plotting planning another ride soon , I would imagine ... Some of the riders are here. Keep an eye on that section and come along for a Forum ride. There will be CAKE !

A year or five ago , a certain young lady from Dunfermline also started cycling and used the Dunf-Alloa track for learning. Now she rides so fast with the Dunf CC that she is but a passing gust of wind to the rest of us .... so when you meet Jane Smart ... remind her about CC

Moral: Beware the Dunfermline - Alloa track

Look forward to meeting and riding with you

 

[Col5632]

Just try and stop me joining in on the next ride

The cake stop was amazing aswell, going to take the missus to it one day soon it was that good

Thats good going Think i would struggle to do that, i remember it taking me about 50 or so mins to get from my house to the end of the alloa path which i thought was good at the time

Public park hill? Speed will come once you get on the bike more and more

If you havent already i recommend doing the two capitals cycle, goes from the glen (dunfermline) to victoria park near ocean terminal and they are doing an official return route this year (about 50 miles in total) More info can be found here:

Also Pedal for scotland in september is another good ride

No problem, most of the two capitals run is either closed road or quiet roads and alot along the water front in leith, group keeps you right and safe anyways, never alone really.

Theres better? Where?????
