Scotland : Perthshire CC Ecosse Perth Ride - Sat 3rd August

[GlasgowFinn]

Looking forward to this.

Just for confirmation, parking is at the North Inch Community Centre and the meeting place is the statue down by Charlotte Street?

 

[tug benson]

weather is looking much better for you lot

 

[Louch]

closer we get to the day, the drier the forecast will get. take a decent kagoul and you will be fine. just done 26 miles in the rain, no harm done

Aye - it's about a 5 minute doodle down the cycle path from car park to statue ... or longer if one is going by 'bent ...

Sorry, change of plans in this household mean I now can't make the ride on Saturday, shame too since the weather looks reasonable and it's on my doorstep

Maybe next year...

[Telemark]

I'm starting to become an increasingly likely YES
Scooshie, is that car seat & bike space still available? When are you thinking of departing?

I'm not willing to spend £40 on train fares for a rainy day out!

Put your bike in our van, ride with the driver. Only a fiver for the bike return, no train fare for you.
Meet at Townhead 8.15 for 8.30 to load bike. Us girls will take the 9.08 train.
If you choose this, you first have to give me your Mum's number so I can reassure her of your whereabouts

right ,im in for this as well folks ,better late than never ,pats sorting out the transport getting there and stuff but count me in

Hi guys and gals, I'm all organized
There will be a RED van at Townhead around15 St Mungo street on Saturday at 8.15 for 8.30 taking the bikes plus 2 passengers to Perth.
Gary the driver is going to ride with us, he's an ex cyclist and bike mechanic!
Can @Harry_Palmer79 go in the van with him, show him where the parking at North inch is, ride back to the meeting point with him?
The other passenger in the van (might be me) will wait at Perth train station with the bikes for the train goers to arrive.
We will all regroup at the meeting point.
@Rasmus and @Edwardoka can put their bikes in the van for the return journey if they like.
Does that sound like a plan? I'm all stressed out with organizing this
Note I've put us girls on the 9.08 train to Perth, a bit earlier than needed just in case of delays

the other pasenger will b ,,,,,, wait for it ,,,,,ME ,,,ta da !!!im making up the numbers as a late addition

Looking a bit more promising! http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2640358

I particularly like the bit that shows that Rasmus and I will have a 16mph tailwind the entire way to Perth.

Speaking of which, @Rasmus, I presume you're still doing that route that you plotted on ridewithgps?
If so, shall I meet you at the junction between Cumbernauld Road and Edinburgh road just after Alexandra Parade station, say around 07:00?
