Excellent - we're go for the 9th, then.

Whats the plan for the 9th or is this still to be decided?

:rolleyes: 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 :thumbsup:). At this time of year, I think advertising a fully fledged social ride with no Plan B isn't entirely sensible :rain::cold:.

@Col5632 see above - don't make @Telemark angry, you wouldn't like her when she's angry...

Bump!

Will we fit in a(nother) RV ride this month? :hyper: Withdrawal symptoms starting already :biggrin:

I would love another one, maybe not as many hills next time :laugh:

We could just set a date and meet, say, at the Park Bistro next to the Canal at Linlithgow for a late lunch :hungry:?
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 :cold:) ...

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 :whistle:), and there was a mention of a place at Culross in another thread, can't remember the details ...

Park bistro looks and sounds good to me :smile:

I've heard there is a good farm shop/cafe out longniddry way, which wouldn't be too far from Edin and Fife and a wee east Lothian venture for the westies - I'll try to find out what it's called tomorrow.

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

Just saying ... :whistle:

Just looked at the current menu ... :huh: they do seem to keep putting up the prices! The curse of popular places, they can charge whatever they feel like :cycle:.

There are quite a few nice places in East Lothian, including the Love Coffee Love Food Cafe in Gifford (a cyclists' favourite), the wee cafe by Longniddry station (forgotten its name), and others ... I was refraining from mentioning East Lothian, and trying to find somewhere equally easy to get to for Easties and Westies (and Fifers/Alloa folk who are a law onto themselves :whistle:) ...

What about that place up Culross way?
