Next Central Scotland Forum ride

[eldudino]

Hmm.... I may be bringing the car. Trains are one an hour and I don't want to risk arriving back from the ride 5 minutes after a train goes then have to wait 55 mins! Plus the train to get there arrives at 9.40 and if I take the car I can bring a flask of tea with me!

Looks like it could be the car :-( There's Engineering works this Saturday

Engineering work starting on 04/07/09 between Edinburgh and Inverness.

Track improvements and maintenance are taking place from 00:01 on 04/07/09 to 23:59 on 04/07/09 between Edinburgh and Inverness.

Edinburgh / Inverness services Edinburgh / Inverness Services are diverted to run via Stirling. A replacement Bus Service will operate to / from Perth and Kirkcaldy to connect into / out of Inverness Services calling at Kirkcaldy, Markinch and Ladybank. As a result some trains may be altered causing extended journey times. Further Information is available from the National Rail Enquiries on 08457 48 49 50.

OK folks, as Scoosh says if your coming by car I recommend that you park at the top end of the Adsa car park on the Dunkeld road, as these spaces are rarely if ever used and no jobsworth is going to slap a ticket on you. Using my artistic skills I have created you this handy map....

I will be at the Asda car park for 10 to meet those coming by car, as I've got to come this way from chateau TechMech. Then we'll head down to the start of the North Inch next to Perth Bridge for around 10:30. Those coming by train should cycle directly east and then directly north and meet at the same place on the North Inch. Here's another handy map to show everyone the way....

With these handy maps i'm really spoiling you But if you should still get lost on the way I'll PM everyone my mobile number.

I think we've found the (permanent ) CC Scotland Forum Ride Navigator

What service !

Does it include getting in the drinks

Of course, drinks for everyone!

Do you mean the cycling or the drinking

Anyway it was really hot last time and the beer was really cold

 

[HLaB]

I think that my mind made up, Im not driving hic; I'll get up early and get the 8:03 to Stirling and then 8:53 from Stirling to Perth and I can cycle or wobble back to my folks in Dunfermline.

Hi

being new to cycling, ( some of you may have read my introduction thread ) and new to this forum, may I ask on your day out tomorrow ( which I cannot manage ) do you use racing bikes or is it all sorts?

I wouldn't mind joining you all at some point, probably tomorrows would be too soon for me anyway, as I have only reached the 22 mile stage in one go and only been cycling for a couple of weeks. I only bought myself a bike last Friday, so that is how new I am to all this.

Hi, just joined the forum and would like to join you for this ride tomorrow if that's OK. Is the meeting place at North Inch where the war memorial/statue thing is?
I live in Dollar and am looking to get some miles in so i'll cycle to and from Perth.

I've been up Glenalmond before (saw some red squirrels last time) but not round the Glenshee loop.

 

[Scoosh]

Welcome to the both of youse

Do please come out with us tomorrow - it's a friendly, social ride at a pace to suit everyone . We've had beginners to ... well HLaB - but he usually gets a bit lost , so gets reigned in fairly easily.

Welcome Seamab, glad to have you along; after Inverkeithing to Dunfermline, Gloom Hill in Dollar I think is my favourite hill. We are meeting at the rail Station in Perth.

Hi mate, you are most welcome to join us tomorrow.

You can meet folks at the train station/Asda car park for around 10, or at the memorial bit of the North Inch at 10:30 ish. I'll PM you my mobile number just in case.

Hi Jane, you're most welcome to join us for the next one if tomorrow is too soon for you.

Folks bring all sorts of bikes on our rides, from Racing bikes, Hybrids, and Mountain bikes. Our rides are not a race, just a great day out and no one gets left behind (which I can personally vouch for, as on the first ride it was me at the back )
