October CC Central Scotland Forum Ride?

[HLaB]

Club run/ scones

 

[HJ]

Will you be doing some baking?

Well Mrs HJ did say she would be doing some baking, if she hadn't then I wouldn't have posted it here...

wishful thinking & fine nuances , I think you'll find she said she COULD do some baking, if required ...

It's getting on for mince pie season, anybody here adept at making them?!

No such luck for after the Carron Valley ride this weekend, but worth thinking about!

 

[Scoosh]

A very unfortunate coincidence ... but in the end a simple decision, for me anyway : How early you want to get up on a Saturday morning? The Stirling train that gets you to the start from Edinburgh leaves at 06:25 .

You could, of course, do the Carron Valley ride and then teleport yourself to Longniddry ... if you pedal really hard, you might just catch us! (hmmm, can you teleport WITH your bicycle?)

Why not get the train from Stirling @ 0841, arrive at Polmont 0901, get the 0911 train to Waverley (arr 1013), then take the 1038 to Longniddry, which arrives at 1056 - which is probably exactly wht HJ suggested an 1100 meeting .

This means you do not need to rise too early, can have a ride with marvellous company - and maybe have a scone at the end ...

On the other hand ..... be lazy , don't bother - and we'll eat your share of the scones

 

[Scoosh]

Scoosh should be this one.

Is Mrs HJ going to come with us this time ?? .... or will she be strapped to an oven, producing vast quantities of scones/cakes for the riders ?

My vote is that Mrs HJ comes with us

 

[JiMBR]

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I won't be able to make it (though I would really like to).

I'll hopefully be on a ride with you guys soon.

 

[Theseus]

My apologies as well, various family duties are taking priority.

 

[viniga]

I might be able to come along, has the date been decided?

Unless I missed something, we're talking about Saturday this week.

I'll be at Longniddry, as I am only coming from Edinburgh .
I was trying to convince MajorMantra that he (and the other greyhounds) could do both rides

No chance that you'll get all the scones

[MrRidley]

I'll try my best to be there, just need to check train times, and if it's dry i may bring my new (replacement) bike to try it out, btw is it Longniddry at 11 ? or is anyone going from Waverly ?

 

[Telemark]

she might do both (baking & cycling) ...

P.S. Any other girlies joining us? Jane are you reading this? Only 43 km from Longniddry, you can do that in your sleep, backwards!

Can you really imagine a student getting up that early?

bhoyjim, I'd probably ride from Edinburgh so I could meet people at Waverley.

[HJ]

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??
