[Closed] East Lothian Rideout, 24.10.10. Autumn delight...

Clocks change the following week.

wasnt sure which weekend...thats one less excuse for some then! thanks 😮

If I don't go touring that weekend I'd hope to make it.

i'm a maybe... but don't wait for me! not that i've been able to join along on one of the pentland/TBC/lammermuir rides before for you to know me...

everyones welcome MrK mkII and it aint a race 😮
just a sunday cruise and social ride...

I'm keen on this one too.

Al - where are you off to?

Druidh - gies a lift then 🙂

Tandem might be a bit of a squeeze TJ (no progress on the van yet). We could always just lash it to the roofbars.....

Cool, should be up for this. 😉

bump for the morning readers...

sounds good, will hopefully make this one.

A 'probably' for me - depends slightly how work pans out next weekend, but certainly hopeful. Camera at the ready in case Colin 'strips-n-strikes (a pose)' for the nu-Friday eye-candy crowd... 🙂

Id like to join you as well. 🙂

That will be weather-dependent....

Been trying to phone you CK, Im a maybe for this as If I get some Overtime Ill have to go for It with Xmas and all that otherwise should be present.

You still up for a week Monday ?.

another bump....

Does it start and finish at the same place ? (sorry daft question I know) I might come along if thats Ok if the Midget Van behaves and is working this weekend, never a given. Er, and it isn't raining.

The pics and report from last time looked ace.

Although thinking it through the shifter is duff on the hardtail so it will be the Juliana or the Cross bike I'm thinking it looks cross bikable ?

Longniddry station this time - drem the last time

druidh - was to be Angus, not happening now so I should be out Sunday.

OP would a cx bike do OK on this route?

cx bike would be fine on this route,and a nice mix of bikes for pics with the tandem and my pugsley 😮

Cool ta, hoping for a shot of the fattie.

Count me in.

I should be up for this one. Will double check I'm not double booking myself with her indoors. 😀

Looks like I am ON.

Uglipla on call?

looks like a full house!. only mr menmuir cant make it due to a first aid course...but that may come in handy at a later date 😮

Mojo is set ready to go.
It canny wait.

druidh - did you get my e mail?

I'm oot - wandering beaches in St. Andrews for a uni trip.

Another drop-out here, work tomorrow & important tasks Sunday... Will be going green reading the details.

2 of the faces down!...
dont worry guys we will soak up the scenery and sample a few whiskeys for you guys...

I'll be there - hip flask at the ready!

[Edit] forgot to say I can give lifts from the city

Druid.

How much room have you if you go?

If not i'll sort a lift in the chuffa.

Enjoy folks, s'posed to be a nice and sunny day. Only the one gate?

aye...only one gate... 😉
couple of fallen trees aswell...should ride round them now the nettles are down... 😮

is anyone going with a car that I could leave stuff in during the ride?

i will have my car along at the station Al as bringing another bike for someone...poured down here all night but the sand based trails here will be nice and dry tomorrow!, forcast is good but to be a cool northerly wind so wrap up folks!

Back at the PC........

Mark - I take it you still want a lift, what about Adam?

TJ - didn't get your email. What's the story?

Sharki - depending on responses from the above, I may have space. where are you biding atm?

Al - I will have a the Uglipla, so you can dump stuff in there.

Druidh - you have too many e mail addys 🙂 - I am also begging for a lift but it looks like that won't be easy - too many folk want a bit of the uglipla.

If you can you can and if you can't you cant. Even a lift back afterwards would be great.

Aye. 9.30 at mine? Adam's just after?
Sharki is here right now and needs lift.

Sorry Teej. Looks like you're nearest to Longniddry anyway 🙂

Where do I pick up Sharki?

hmm, not sure. Prolly westend?

Since he is there, can't you ask him?

he has gone now

TJ, Tom is back on for tomorrow as his cold is better and offering a lift over on MTBscotland, i have texted him your email...

after all the rain look at the sky now...we is in for a cracking day tomorrow! 😮

Just done a road ride in those very parts in twilight, lovely.

Won't need car space now ta. Has a plan for staying overnight at pals in Pencaitland but I need lights.

Al

i'm riding over from Pencaitland in the morning, I also have plenty lights, what do you need them for?

Luke has some lights....

I can give someone a lift if needed. Drop me an email - in profile.

*farts in bath*

Underskilled, thank you very much Al!

Great ride, thanks Bruce!

Highly enjoyable day in a ambient jeycore lite styleeee

who killed that wheel.............. ❓

looks like a good turnout too.

Chap called Weebradders. The chap standing on it. A nice sideways hop of about 4 ft onto rough tussocky bog.

I think the warranty claim will be interesting. Not fit for purpose?

Looks like another fab 'Coastkid Day Out(TM)'. Sorry I missed it 🙁

It were ace. Curry for dins soon as well so a firm top day right there.

and the home brew is good too, you guys should try it. Maybe next time eh?

looks like you guys had a great day out,i wished you lived round here nobody does anything like that were i live

Some great Photos , Once again Bruce you nailed It with the weather. Lets hope of a repeat for tomorrow , The taco'd wheel Is something else . Was that a nose dive into the Nature reserve .?
Give us a bell or text in the morning .

Its wheat beer...

Ooh - would love to try some of that sometime! I'm not too far away from you (not as close as Gary is) either - near Fordel services.

Andy, you can always kip at mine if you end up in a state again 😉

mollski. Get it organised, someone needs too do it why not you.

Pick a route, grab some mates, invite complete strangers of the internet, meet in a carpark, and go play in the woods/hills. Keep it chilled, social, have cake and make sure everyone knows it's a social laid back ride.

Sharki speaks the sense. Just get it done.

Indeed. You too can get lost in the muddy woods with a bunch of strange men you met on teh internet.

watch he dosnt bring a lenght of new rope GW 😉
Stanfree i did text you, will be at your gaff around 8.30am...
sharky; great film of mark on his ass!
the wheel repair was worth the watching...some repair!
Diane your welcome up here anytime...this is a usual type rideout for us lot 😮
