Unless it is really wet, I'm thinking of riding my recumbent, the hills may fun. But as I've done it on a road bike and a folder, I though the recumbent had to be tried!

Say hi if you see me

Missing it this year (again), due to other EdFoC events on the same day- have signed up for the Edinburgh Belles on Bikes ride and the women's cycling forum that day. too many cycling things going on .

Freuchie cake stop definitely worth riding through any wee showers for, if you are worried about what the weather might throw at you

Yep and looking forward to it. everything I've heard from others is positive. Fingers crossed the weather is good

2 years ago I did this in weather worse than what we had on Arran yesterday. Still had ice cream on Cleish hill

I've got a train home from Dundee at 4, so will be doing the ride at a decent pace this year. (still time for cake , though)

R U taking a chance on there being space for the bike on the train or have you pre=booked.

I've got a reservation. No reason not to, due to getting a cheaper advance ticket anyway. Trains on the Aberdeen line are usually pretty quiet for bikes, though.

The ice cream van at the top of the first big hill is nice, but there can be a long queue if the weather If the weather is good. I'm taking a raspberry ripple gel with me just in case I haven't got time to wait!

if the weather is good i'll be doing this on Saturday and if ther wind is on my side i will be cycling back home to Alloa from St Andrews..The weather is looking ok so far

My rear tyre exploded on this ride just after the Cleish hill..Hope i don't get that again.

I'm tempted to do this, may get train Back than ride it though.

 

[currystomper]

Just been out to see the recumbent - it had a flat back tyre, I'm glad that I didn't go out tomorrow (friday the 13th!!) as I would have to rethink taking that bike!!

Get out there man Forecast looks good, slight East wind which may hinder. Noise from back wheel, giving me some scares at the moment.
