Next CC Ecosse Ride?

[Deleted member 20519]

I'll most likely be driving up as there is no train that goes straight to perth and its only 20-25 mins up the road for me but the train station sounds a fair place to meet

4th August is good for me, meet in perth for 10am? I work from 5pm onwards so need to be back home for then, how many miles you wanting to do roughly?

Any idea if there's a train that runs from Glasgow Central to Perth?

 

[edindave]

Can't make it that weekend - on call

Hope it turns out to be a good day out for all

I'll get you in Paisley if you'd like, if you're wanting to cycle to the city centre; or otherwise can get you around town/Central, (if I can make it out on this one, which it looks like I will)

Up to you. I've never taken a bike on a train before so I might need some guidance. I'm 14 & I'll be riding the worst bike imaginable, don't expect Chris Hoy or anything

I got that

Bike spaces are in carriages with a bike sticker, usually second set of doors from the front and sometimes also second set of doors from the back. Shouldn't have a problem. Trains every 30mins on this day.

Just had a look and apparently, on this route, you're meant to make a cycle reservation, which is free. But I've never bothered in the past and not had problems...

Do you reckon it's worth making a reservation?

Once times are decided it's probably good way of ensuring you don't have any problems

I'd be able to make the 11th August, would have liked the 4th but there's no problems here.

Edit: People who've ridden the Perth route before, what's it like? Hilly?

 

[ACS]

Apologies I'm not able to make the 11th.
