Yes, @Harry_Palmer79 - the one you waited at the top of in the rain and wind while I (and another rider, I believe of the female persuasionThere was a hill?
) walked up it. You could at least have come back down a bit to encourage us !

I did reply to this but the site went down as I tried, I was going to head West to Kincardine then up to dollar for food and towards home really
In that case, wouldn't really be a case of joining you on the ride, given that by the time I got to Dollar you'd have done the entire loop!

My memory of that hill was doing my usual huffing and puffing out of the saddle, half a turn of the cranks at a time, and only just managing to reach the top; meanwhile @Telemark sat glued to her saddle and pedaled steadily all the way, complete with a pannier full of cake, and was hardly out of breath at the topYes, @Harry_Palmer79 - the one you waited at the top of in the rain and wind while I (and another rider, I believe of the female persuasion
.Maybe, @Brandane - but I am referring to the inaugural "CC Ecosse 3 Ferries (and only 2 showers)" ride - the one when you got a tad damp on the way home ... not the "Eat-as-much-of-Telemark's-cake-as-you-can" version !
You were doing your gracious guide duties, telling us it wasn't that bad.
Having ridden it before on a DF, I knew it was doable - and that you were being a little economical with the truth reality ! 
(or should that be 
?)
Those were the days when @Pat "5mph" had wee legs and heavy bikes ... [sigh]

Never stopped snowing here last night, still laying on the pavements and some roads too

I seem to recall the odd ride you needed some "encouragement" too...

You're going to have to watch the cycle path at Kincardine (on the Longannet) and the back road at Aberdona heading towards Dollarbeg - both notorious for black ice.

More than encouragement at times
Judging on the temp recently and the fact cowden has still got a blanket of snow on the roads then I'm thinking I won't be on the bike tomorrow

Main routes should be fine after around 10am. No snow in Dunfermline.
