October CC Central Scotland Forum Ride?

[HonestMan1910]

Any chance of extending it on the way back by coming right down to Pencaitland and then through Boggs holdings back to Longniddry ?

I had a look in the kitchen a while ago, there is an awful lot of baking going on...

Feeling really guilty now....

Don't worry, if she wasn't enjoying it she wouldn't be doing it...

If you are feeling guilty on behalf of Mrs HJ slaving away in the kitchen, don't! I think I am qualified to say that she is enjoying herself ...

I do hope so, since it was me who brought up the scones in the first place! The spread that was laid on last time was awesome! (As I'm sure MajorMantra will agree)

Indeed. I might not be so erm, restrained () this time.

Great, does that mean that Mrs HJ will be able to come riding with us ?

Doh !!!

The pfenig has dropped !

Understanding has arrived

I can't make this one as i have to be in Glasgow tomorrow am. However, in compensation i am taking the bike and riding home with a loop round Loch Katrine via the Crow Rd and Dukes Pass before heading for Dunblane, Sherrifmuir and Gleneagles.

Have a good one.

I tend to be in Glasgow quite a bit on Saturdays so if anyone fancies joining me for some routes in the Campsies or further afield let me know...

Have a good one too!

That's a great route - especially round Loch K, it'll be very pretty with the autumn colours in the sunshine! But how far is that, and most of the local big hills thrown in too ...

How about a CC Campsies ride soon, that's more or less in the middle of "Central Scotland"? As long as the start/finish are reasonably close to a train station and the ride is a bit shorter than your route for tomorrow

107 miles according to bikeroutetoaster but i'll find out properly tomorrow. Planning on a cake stop at Loch Ard - i'm sure they will be no match for Mrs. HJ's scones

A CC Campsies ride is a good idea but not a beginners option so not suitable for all. Maybe call it a CC Challenge ride?
