Scotland : Edinburgh & Lothians Pedal on Parliament 2 - Sunday 19 May

[Pat "5mph"]

Tell her now and say its an event not to be missed, im even taking the night off work for it

Me too, I'm taking the day off for it.
Will do some extra rides, might (just, maybe) make me a bit faster

 

[Get In The Van]

I may be able to make this, might have to get the bike on the train to make it through in time for 3pm though, unless my rota day off falls on a Sat that week,

 

[Theseus]

I'll be there. Probably just turn up at the Meadows on my own unless anyone else is planning on riding in from Bonnyrigg / Dalkieth

 

[Booyaa]

I think I might be up for this, possibly cycle in from Polmont/Falkirk area. Possibly along the canal.

Are you in Hamilton? I am in Rutherglen, we could meet half way somewere, pick up Rasmus in Dennistoun which is just a few miles from me.
As I am pants with routes, you will have to plan it

 

[tug benson]

depends on which way the people are heading over from glasgow but me and colin could easily meet you weegies some where outside edinburgh or maybe somewhere on the route you lot end up choosing

 

[Rasmus]

I think the best (shortest avoiding major roads) option is to more or less follow the PfS route (perhaps with a shortcut or two). So Glasgow->Coatbridge->Avonbridge->Linlithgow->Kirkliston->Cramond->Edinburgh.

 

[tug benson]

is that along the canal path?

 

[tug benson]

me and colin could meet you at kirkliston

 

[Get In The Van]

Tug if i'm off that day i'll meet up with you and Col at Kirkliston, i'll know closer to the day

 

[tug benson]

sounds like a plan

 

[Rasmus]

is that along the canal path?

No, on road. Suggested feeder ride route

Kirkliston should be a good place to meet up.

Yes I am Pat, not sure I could make it all the way through from here but might be a plan though if I had company. Was just going to go from Maddiston where my old dear lives.
This is all dependant upon my bike actually working for more than one ride. Several punctures on the front and constantly slackning spokes on the rear wheel are really frustrating me!

You got 3 months to get lbs to fix spokes and to get a new from tyre. I've got 3 months to find out where Maddiston is

 

[Harry_Palmer79]

I might tag along for this too... I'm sure I could manage 80km or so by May (might have to catch a train back though!)
