CC Ecosse (West) ride - Sat 19th Jan

[tug benson]

I still hope to be out on Saturday. I will keep my fingers crossed that the snow stays away and will check here on saturday morning that the rides not been cancelled.

with all the 'mechanicals ' you guys seem to be having I think I will bring a few extra spares just incase its catching

I will be driving over from Falkirk / polmont area is anyone else in my area ? Could offer a lift to some one plus their bike. Where would the best place to park be at that time on a saturday. I dont know Glasgow well at all.


Till Saturday

Parking at the SECC is £6 a day, or you can park at the science centre for £3 for the day, or you can park on the govan rd, then cross the water at the science centre

Looks like we're steering clear of the snow, so unless something dramatic happens overnight, the ride will be on.

It will be cold though, so dress appropriately!

Just confirming my non attendance.

Still sore on the ribs but leg now much better. TBH even if i was 100% i'd be very unlikely to go out cycling in such Baltic conditions. I'd stay indoors on the trainer.

Good luck to those of you that go out - have a safe run and a cake for me.

Where you going to be parking about?

either the science centre or on the roads around govan road, the science centre is just over the water from the SECC

More mechanicals this morning, not helped by the fact that it was so cold. Will give the bike a proper going over tonight and all being well I look forward to meeting you all tomorrow!

Col, when you get on the M8 take the junc to the left right at the foot of the Kingston Bridge (junc 19) stay in the middle lane and go straight through the lights, stay in the right hand land until you see the next lights (the kingston bridge is right above you) the bridge support will have a huge painting of a swimmer on it, turn right and follow the road, if going to the Science centre go over the squinty bridge, if not stay straight and head into the SECC car park, you can't miss it.
wrap up warm!

I can get to the SECC no probs so im sure i should find it

EDIT: Didnt realise the start time of the ride had changed

No probs, by the way you got snow yet? the clouds are rolling in from the east and we've had a few flurries in the last 30mins. you're roughly the same latitude on the map so thought i'd ask!
