Central Scotland Forum TdF ride

Another one back from the hols ...

Anyone fancy riding from Edinburgh to the start of this one ?

Someone please tell me I'm daft to even think about it ?

I need to check things with SWMBO, but if I am going I would be up for a pre-ride ride out of Embra.

Has anybody got a link to the route? I might have my new bike by then Edinburgh - Falkirk or (Dunfermline - Kirkliston - Falkirk) might be a nice warm up for it. Or I could go dunfermline to Kincardine but I'm not sure of roads now the new bridge has been built.

Iv'e been through Kincardine a few times since the new bridge went operational

If you want to head for Falkirk then just go over the old bridge, keep on the dual carriageway for about 1/2 mile then bear left towards Skinflats. From there head into Grangemouth and then right at the big roundabout.

No probs at all with the new road layout at Kincardine

May I ask what time you start this ride? Roughly what time would it finish please?

 

[HLaB]

I think its a 10:30 ish start but I'm unsure if it staring at Falkirk High or Grahamston? For a 23 mile ride I'd allow 2 and a bit hours for stopping/ chat but we'd probably stop more, say 1:30 finish.

I think in that case I can manage it, if you don't mind, someone slow, wobbly and talks alot joining you all ?

Cheers; I think the way I went the last time was down the quiet lanes towards Skinflats and then Carronshore, Stenhousemuir and into Falkirk that way.

The rides are pretty social so we won't mind at all, sometimes I shoot off up a hill but don't worry there'll be plenty who wont and I'll stop and let folk catch up.

Quite a nice short one too, for my first one ok, date I will see you all Sunday morning, looking forward to it

I thought it was Grahamston, but then again I might be wrong.
