First of 3 annual rideouts of the FB East Lothian Mountainbiking Group,
Sunday 4th September. the now annual Longniddry- Gullane - Longniddry loop Social rideout; an easy days ride...
Meet to rideout at approx 11am from Longniddry Railway Station car park,
Sunday trains will be running from Edinburgh , check times...
Same as last year except avoiding Gosford house and ponds being a big group,
got another route sorted through to Aberlady,
trails to Gullane, up the hill for views, around the coast and stop at Gosford Cafe for food/cake/tea/coffee,
Ride what you brung; fatbikes, tandems, cross bikes, vintage mtbs, and the regular bling...
This will be a big group ride so it wont be Blitzkrieg speed, distance a lazy paced 18 miles ish,
wheelies, hip flasks, sweeties optional, but encouraged -:)
Bollocks. Got the Tour of Britain (Sportive version ) that day 🙁
Will do the Drem station ride later next month druidh,
also plan a complete John Muir Way- Fisherrow to Co- Path in a day, probably early October, dates to check and confirm on that 🙂
And our Autumn Glory ride from Pencaitland in October, Yodagoat and GW can organise that 😉
Can't the first one either as I'm racing the 1-2-1 event at Hamsterley.
Can't make this one but will hopefully be along for one or more of the other rides.
Hope you get a good day for it.
Aye, cool by be.Yodagoat and GW can organise that
should hopefully be along to yours (just haven't sorted out shit for next month yet)
Bump, most of the local gang are coming along, anyone else is welcome 🙂
no can do, bloody wedding season. hopefully make one of the later ones. looking forward to seeing some of GW's singletrack.
I'll be along with Jim the bike wrecker , he may be on his Sunday BMX the way he is going through bikes. Hopefully get a better day than today and maybe a cheeky pint in the Longniddry Inn.
You cycling down Paul?, pint you say?, oh ok then... 🙂
will have some local Whisky in the hip flask anyway 😉
Have a good one....Canny make it 🙁
Will try to make this one.
See you on the beach then this winter Davesport 
Be good to see you paulG 🙂
recced a nettle free route yest (honest!) and avoiding a few short trails with lots of fallen trees and serious flooding, to keep the tandem and the mob rolling etc..
Unfortuantly the postmans walk is overgrown with nettles that satan must have grown, 24 hours later and shins are still on fire 8O, so leave this out this time,
roll on autumn!
Bump, think most folk in the zone are coming along who can make it, forcast is looking good, unlike today! 🙂
Deeply regret being unable to make this , or any other, ride. Driving back yesterday & the Pentlands were clear as a cut amethyst*
Still, hope springs eternal for later on... Must get out in the purple haze before it goes. Have a good one, squad.
