Central Scotland Ride Out - details should appear in Events shortly.
I'm hoping the proposed route will give us a good, if fairly long day.
It incorporates some fantastic roads, and if the weather is kind, the photo opportunities should be great too.
Depending on numbers I may seek to sort people into groups to suite their desired speed etc.
You can fuel up at the start point. Next Fuel in Oban (120 miles) , Then Crieff (128 miles) , it's then only 40 miles back to McDonalds and the BP garage, so you may not need to fuel in Crieff depending on your bike's range.
Depending on weather on the day, the route may change, and as MadSocts has mentioned, there's a camping trip planned for the Borders that same weekend, although there's nothing in Events yet - so depending on how interested folk are, I may alter the route entirely so that we can terrorise the Borders instead and meet up with folks
I know you guys don't know me. but I don't bite haha. im gonna try n get Monday off work and make a 3day wkend off it, so I can pop in n see some mates on the Monday, wile im up there and get to ride the dalwinnie road on satday
Added to the event, not sure I'll count on photo opportunities though. Friends at Ullapool this weekend had tents flattened last night and can't get away yet due to flooded roads
Many coffee stops requested if it's wet, pretty please?
My plans have rather collapsed around my ears for this one! Apart from the recent exploits of the weather potentially leaving us some issues that might influence the route, I'm now not able to make the run
I've sent out a notification to 'all' - i.e. izzyhill and myself
Sorry you can't make this now Mike, hope all is well.
Danny and I are still up for a ride on Sunday. MetOffice says it's a mixed day and there will be bright patches to be found - but that'll change as we get closer to Sunday.
Please leave the thread up and I'll post later what we're doing - I doubt it'll involve a 9am start! Meanwhile, if anyone has any suggestions or requests please fire them in; favourite roads, learner-friendly route, top-notch cafes/ice cream parlours , all comments welcome. Ride safe.
Despite the beautiful weather today, calm before the storm stuff, there's severe weather warnings for strong winds over Sunday and Monday so I'll be taking the car to go look at kitchens. *sigh*
