October CC Central Scotland Forum Ride?

[Scoosh]

I have done a quick update of the first post, so far it looks like:

MajorMantra and bhoyjim starting from Waverly

HJ and Telemark starting at Longniddry

viniga, scoosh, HLaB and scook94 still making their minds up...

is that about right??

Nope - Scoosh will be eating scones after riding

I'll be riding down from Trinity/Newhaven (leaving 0930-ish) so will pass Fisherrow at about 1000-1015, if anyone wants to meet there. I'll be going at my kind of pace , not HLaB's


* if anyone is driving from further afield and wants to ride to Longniddry with me, you are welcome to park your car outside the Scoosh residence. PM me if interested.

 

[scook94]

Looks like I'll be along on Saturday too, Eldudino has graciously offered to push our wee ride to the Sunday!

Scoosh, any chance I can dump my car in your street again and ride out with you? (provided you promise to go at "my" speed)

 

[JiMBR]

Damn it...if only I lived in Edinburgh (or surrounding area).

 

[HJ]

There are four trains every hour from Queen Street to Waverly, that is why Bhoyjim is starting from Waverly, or you could just change train at Waverly and carry on to Longniddery Station. All the trains take bikes for free...

[JiMBR]

I might be able to go (working on it)....

I'll know by Friday hopefully.

Bhoyjim...can I PM you if it's a go'er...arrange when to meet in Glasgow etc?

 

[MajorMantra]

My flatmate is probably also going to come but I'll confirm that nearer to the day.

Good the more the merrier...

 

[ACS]

Have a good day, again I will have to pass on this. On standby as my daughter is due to have a baby in the coming weeks and the SWMBO has put me on a 2 hour lead.

 

[HonestMan1910]

Count me in, should be able to make it to Longniddry by 11 one way or another

 

[magnatom]

I can't make it unfortunately due to various family things going on at the moment.

Have a good day guys!

 

[JiMBR]

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it after all.

What started out as a 'simple' problem on my bike has turned into something more serious.

There is an issue with the frame, which requires replacement so I won't get my bike back until next week.

I do have a loan bike from my LBS, but let's just say that I'd rather not go any more than a few miles on it...in case it falls apart.


Really hope to make it next time....have fun guys.

glad you found out about the problem in a "gentle" way rather than it falling apart at speed!

These rides seem to happen quite regularly, it's a reasonably safe bet that there will be another one (or two) soon

Not this weekend, enginering work AGAIN, every half hour with journey times increased by 50mins, so i can get to Waverly for 9.30 or just go straight to L'niddry, but if anyone's riding out from Waverly is this to early to leave ?
