Central Scotland Forum August ride

[MrRidley]

For those who are cycling from Embra, how about a rendez-nous at Fisherrow Harbour, on the west side of Musselburgh (The Honest Toun - aye, right ? Call it 15km from there to Longniddry station (it's actually a bit LESS ), so a meet there at 1000-1015 would give us an easy, social ride to the 'official' start. If anyone is going to be late there - we can leave HLaB to speed you (= make you sweat) to Longniddry

How does that work for the train guys 'n' gals ? Those driving through could meet there too, if they fancied a few bonus kms .

I'd rather those of us coming thru on train could be met by one of you kind EMBRA folk at waverly and guided/helped/led to the start point.

Agree and I was wondering if those from the Dalkeith Rd side of town could meet youse (see the Glesga bit ) and guide to Fisherrow ....

Me ? I'm on the north of the city and avoid the centre as much as poss ... and probably even more when the trams arrive

I could meet people at Waverley. I'd suggest this corner (in green I hope):

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=55.95...=55.95321,-3.18887&spn=0.000704,0.002411&z=19

To get there, follow the signs in the station up the steps to Princes St, turn right at the top and walk along. Cross the road (North Bridge) at the corner of the hotel. That way we can join traffic on North Bridge easily.

What do you reckon?

Do we have to wear a flower to be recognised

 

[MajorMantra]

Just do the secret CC dancing handshake.

Why go up the steps?? Why not meet on the concourse then just cycle up the road out on to Waverley Bridge...

I usually try the cunning disguise of a CC Jersey...

That is more logical actually.

[lazyfatgit]

That sort of timeframe might not suit lazyfatgit either. Isn't he getting to Waverley at 10:30ish?

What is the "official" start time at Longniddry?

Train's due in at 10:28. And i will be on the train. Mrs LFG says I "burnt my boats" by having the car too long last time.

How many of those who are returning to Waverley and surrounding areas would be interested in stopping off in Newington (not far off the Dalkeith Rd) for Tea and (freshly baked) Scones on the way home?

 

[MajorMantra]

Speaking for myself, I never refuse a scone.

Matthew

 

[Scoosh]

Trinity - "surrounding areas" ... hmmmmmm ......

Tea ..... scones .... mmmmmm .....

 

[HLaB]

Granton or Dunfermline are not exactly the Newington area but I could be tempted

"surrounding areas", HLaB, "surrounding areas" ....

Ahh, but it would be on the way past... that counts too
