I'm 50/50 on this ride guys. My ankle's getting better but I'm unsure on how long to rest it for. I'm resting it all this week and it's feeling better by the day. I'll be starting to do some stretches by the end of the week to keep it moving but I'll have to see how I get on and make a decision on the day or the day before. I'm pretty bummed out by it all to be honest, no cycling and this is the best weather we've had all August!

I'm not going to make it, folks. Going walking and camping in the Cairngorms for a couple of days instead.
Hope it goes well.

scook94 said:Keep us updated, if you don't go then I'll be taking the car through. Didn't you wimp out of the last one coz it was slightly damp? Is there a trend emerging...
Ha! No, I was on holiday for the last one. Anyway, I don't see you cycling home in the pouring rain when I'm slogging through Stirling getting a face-full of road-spray
!After speaking to Lazyfatgit about it, who's had a similar, but worse injury, I'm definitely going to give it a miss. Going to take 3 weeks off the bike (this, next and the following for which we're going to Cornwall on holiday) and try to see a sports physio to get it treated.

OK, roll call, how many are think of come back for scones (just so we know how many to make)?
Also as this has turned into a multi start ride, who is starting where and when??

I'll be heading to your after, if that's OK with you and mrs HJ.
What time are we meeting outside of Waverly (did we say we are meeting at the mini rab in the station concourse?)

HJ, scones would be great.
I'll be at Longniddry at 10:51, assuming all trains on time. If I'm feeling frisky and the weather is favourable, I may cycle to Glasgow or Falkirk to get an earlier train in order to meet the folk who are staring at Waverley.

Another one for scones! I'll probably pop home first to switch to the cheap bike (I'm paranoid).
I'll be at Waverley whenever's needed so can people arriving on trains remind us when exactly? Yes, we should meet at the mini RAB.

My Saturday night session in Glasgow is definitely still on so I'm afraid I'll not be coming out to play on Sunday.

I am getting a bit nervous about Sunday for some reason, still not confident on the roads at all
