Scotland : Kingdom of Fife LEPRA Edinburgh-StAndrews 15 June

[Rasmus]

I'll be entering this again this year

http://www.leprahealthinaction.org/edinburgh-to-st-andrews-cycle-ride/

After pretty poor weather conditions the last two years, I am fully expecting sunshine and no wind this time. Anyone else interested? Remember that this event features the unbeatable cake stop in Freuchie...

[tug benson]

... followed immediately by the wee slope/gentle incline that is Cadger's Brae ....

I usually send cash in the envelope along with the registration. But there's really no need to register - you can just show up and pay on the day.

... followed immediately by the wee slope/gentle incline that is Cadger's Brae ....

Oi! I'm the onl one who's allowed to understate the severity of hills!

 

[tug benson]

Done cadgers brae when i done the st andrews sportive last year, you sit at the bottom of it and you can see it ramping straight up in front of you...wouldn`t fancy doing it on a fully belly

I remember cadgers brae very well Do they provide transport back to edinburgh?

They do but the last time I done it I cycled back to Dunfermline and another time (when the weather was poor) I cycled back to Glenrothes (Thorton) and got the train back to the Town.

Suppose if i start cycling back and feel like i really cant make it then ill just beg for a lift of a family member

Poor show

... and when one has just re-filled all the water bottles too !

When I did the ride a couple of years ago, there was a certain CC member who, I am still convinced, was texting while he rode up it



... though it might just have been his 'fatigue' position on the bike

 

[tug benson]

how do you register for this?

 

[Scoosh]

It's usually rather awkward or impossible to find the on-line registration

Many of us have a look at the weather forecast and roll up and register on the day.

There was a CCer who pre-registered last year - and had the delight of riding into a howling NE wind, with rain aplenty and probably hail, ice and snow all the way to St Andrews ...

They make 'em tough in Scandanoovia ....
