Central Scotland Forum TdF ride

[TechMech]

Is everyone aware that there is huge load of rain coming across the country for Sunday?

If this is the case then I think I'll be heading straight for Falkirk and parking the car there, as 20+ miles in the tipping rain will be enough fun for one day I think.

 

[Jane Smart]

Yes I had heard that, my pals think I am bonkers, you on the other hand will find out I am on Sunday

 

[Jane Smart]

Oh and I hope you all appreciate this, I am going to a 40th birthday party tomorrow night ~ and driving!!!!

Just back from a week in London. Did you all miss me? Didn't think so!

TechMech, might be a wise decision if it does indeed chuck it down. You should have my mobile number so text me if you decide to start from Stirling. I'll be making my own decision on Sunday too.

If anyone is starting from Falkirk, I still would appreciate anyone meeting me at some point, to follow them to the Falkirk High. I am driving as not good enough yet to cycle then join you all. Please send me a pm if you are driving, my sense of direction is crap

 

[scook94]

We'll all be starting from Falkirk, or at least the TdF part. Where will you be leaving the car? I'm sure someone can swing by wherever and meet you before going on to Falkirk High...

Given the weather forcast who will be digging out their wellingtons with cleat adaptors? Love to join you for this one, have a good one I hope the weather breaks and the sun shines on you all.

Leaving car at Falkirk High

Leaving car at Falkirk High

At the train station car park yes? If it's free and no one's gonna clamp me then that's where I'll be heading too (assuming of course it's raining bad, otherwise I'm gonna be cycling from Stirling with Steven.)

For some reason i thought this run was last Sunday - why i don't know. Must be losing whatever little there is left to lose...

I'm off on holiday for a few weeks to Orkney tomorrow (taking the bike) and hope to get a few runs in.

So best wishes for the weather on Sunday - hope all goes well.

 

[Jane Smart]

I've just been told about the hill that we have to go up

You've all got to remember I have only been cycling six weeks lol

 

[HLaB]

I was thinking of taking the Kinesis but having seen the forecast I think I'll take the Sirrus. My gps mounts are on the other bikes and I've run out of zip ties to transfer it; so I won't be able to get you all lost

 

[Theseus]

No worries, I have a few in my pack.

Back from week's hols not 1 hr ago and am going to have to call off
Many reasons, amongst them the mighty rain due tomorrow, family stuff, garden stuff ....... (nothing to do with having missed the TdF today )

Hope the weather people are all wrong and it's a glorious day tomorrow.


[with TechMech knowing where he's going and HLaB not having his GPS, you should be finished by 1900 ]

I was planning on riding to Falkirk, but given the weather forecast i'll be taking the train to Larbert. Train should arrive there 10:01, giving me time to get the 4 miles to Falkirk High.
