Excellent - we're go for the 9th, then.
Wake up, @Fubar !
The plan is to have soup and cake at my place, but to keep the cycling part flexible until nearer the time. So we either go on a wee social ride from central Edinburgh before feeding time, or run it as a RV ride, where people turn up at the RV destination by bike, riding at their own pace from wherever they want to start (trains etc. permitted ). At this time of year, I think advertising a fully fledged social ride with no Plan B isn't entirely sensible .

Bump!
Will we fit in a(nother) RV ride this month? Withdrawal symptoms starting already

We could just set a date and meet, say, at the Park Bistro next to the Canal at Linlithgow for a late lunch ?
Not too many hills from most directions and reasonably central for most CC Ecossers (apologies to the likes of @snorri for whom it would be an epic day ride). Any waiting around can be done in a nice warm place (or at your leisure in case of visitations from the p******e fairy ) ...
Other good RV places that I know of are the Craigie Farm cafe (which is perhaps a bit close to Edinburgh - not that I'd have a problem with that ), and there was a mention of a place at Culross in another thread, can't remember the details ...

Park Bistro is getting/has got a bit £££ last time I was there a few months ago ...
Just saying ...
