Well, the flapjack is looking good, now covered and cooling overnight. We shall see tommorrow evening

Cook's prerogative to dispose of damaged goods as they see fit
Just looking at this untidyness between now and Saturday afternoon may be too much to bear

HJ to the rescue ? He seems a pretty tidy, ordered sort of chap ....

Rigg there will be no rigg if I have anything todo with it well we will see how we are 25 miles in with stupid winds and over cast skies.

Is 1030 settled as a start time? Trying to figure out how early I need to drag myself out of bed for the feeder ride

(Strava has challenged me to do a century in March, so doing a ride with 2/3 of the distance in decent tailwinds seems like a good plan...)

I won't make it tomorrow, dreaded lurgy. Been fighting it off for a few days but it seems to have finally won out this evening. Enjoy your ride...

It's blowing a gale here, I'm away to check the weather forecast for tomorrow!

Seems Edinburgh is going to be sunny, freezing, early morning warning of ice

 

[MikeW-71]

Looks fair for Edinburgh tommorrow, wind forecast is lower again

I'll be aiming to get there for a 10:30 start, hopefully I won't have any delays.

Hmm, I need some advice about car parking. Where will be best for me to park, everything I see on Google is either Permit Holders or parking meters.

From reading through the mass of posts, I am guessing that you are aiming to be at the RCP for 1030, leaving by 1100. It's about 8km to Musselburgh, so I'll plan to be there by 1115 latest to meet youse all.

Alternatively, it's about 30 mins for me to F'row, so if someone (@Telemark ?) could txt me when you're almost ready to go, I can leave then and we'll meet at Fisherrow harbour.

Actually, I was hoping to be away by 10:30 or very shortly after, rather than hanging around for ages until the various puncture-prone and lost people turn up ... It looks like tomorrow morning is a bit for standing around!

Is that OK with everybody? I'll PM my mobile number to all who said they are attending shortly, in case of unexpected delays.

@ Scoosh - we'll text you on departure from the Commie

Soup's almost in the making, too.
