Sat 7 April - CC Ecosse Informal Recce of Kinross Sportive Red Route

[Fubar]

Wish i could join you in this, some beautiful roads on that route as i discovered last Sunday, but busy in the morning and arranged a lazy 40 miler in the afternoon with a friend who doesn't get out often.

No worries, enjoy your 40 miler and no doubt we'll see you on the next one. Regards, Mark

and arranged a lazy 40 miler in the afternoon with a friend who doesn't get out often.

... as opposed to our lazy 60 miler** with friends, some of whom get out far too often for me .



** I can see some nice short-cuts .... but not missing out the 'lumpy bits'

 

[Telemark]

Too far for me ... 60+ km yes, but 60+ miles ... not yet

Have fun!

You'd have been fine, T - we cut it short and only did 70km (45 miles ?) from Kinross.

Kinross, Leslie, Falkland, Freuchie, Newburgh (good cafe at the Gulf service station ) , Glenfarg, Milnathort (ice cream ) and Kinross.

Weather wasn't brilliant - light rain , chilly breeze and not enough meant we had to keep going - which we did and Col5632 rode further than he has ridden before .

Hills were ascended and descended, no one got left behind, CAKE was consumed ... but it was chilly.

Many thanks to Fubar and Col for arranging this, tempting me to do it - then turning up to make me do it !

 

[Fubar]

Yes bit hard going today, adding in the slog up and back to Dunfermline gave Col and I approx 70 miles in total - pity about the weather. Nice cafe though ! Maybe next time for Dunning Hill . Cheers for coming along Scoosh.

 

[Col5632]

Really enjoyed today despite holiding you guys up

Cake stop was very nice and i would happily go back there

Next time dunning hill is ours

Imapmyride on my phone was telling me i got around 72 miles in total so some 17 miles more than i have ever done and although the last 20 odd were tuff for me im glad i done it

2 problems with this for me:

1: Kinross is a horrible place to get to by public transport.
2: I'll be riding around Mull on Saturday (hoping for , preparing for )

Enjoy your ride - it looks like a nice route.

Perhaps you could give us the run down on your return. I would like to spend a week cycling / wild camping the island

I had been considering typing up a report, but haven't managed to find the time. I'll see if I can get round to it tonight.
