I-LikeMatchesDerFun Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) Hey, Anyone up for a Glasgow ride on Saturday 30th of Aug? Myself and a mate are flying over from Ireland with the bikes. We will also probably ride Edinburgh Sunday afternoon the 31st of August. If anyone is interested, post below!

JohnyMilton Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hey, I'm thinking of organising a ride in Edinburgh the end of August. I'm not from there (have been before) so I'd need a guide to the best riding spots! Are there many local riders or riders who would be willing to travel? Myself and a mate were thinking we'd fly over and bring our bikes. I'm looking at flights at the moment as Ryanair are doing deals to both Glasgow Prestwick and Edinburgh. Just wondering what time in the week would suit people? The cheapest weekend flight I could find is from 30/08- 2/09. If anyone is free that weekend let me know asap! Cheers, Steve Hey, I live in Edinburgh, alomg with a few other riders, I just moved here so Im not sure on on the hot spots, but Im sure Danny Mac, would show you the best riding spots. But from what I hear Glasgow is probs better to ride, it has tons to offer. Johny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Thomson Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Glasgow is well better mate! I'm sure we can organise a big ride for whatever weekend really, can get the Edinburgh crew through as well so it can normally be a good turn out... Plus you're welcome to crash at mines if you want, got the space and I'm only a 10 minute cycle from the centre of town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-LikeMatchesDerFun Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Right guys, my buddy said he's going to come as well so all we need to do is to book flights. The dates we are currently looking at are Friday August 29th- Tues 2nd of September. So if Rob still has space on his floor then we'll stay in Glasgow friday night, ride Glasgow Saturday. Saturday evening we'll be getting the train to Edinburgh and maybe out in Edinburgh Saturday night (also happening to catch the end of the Edinburgh festival! ) and ride Edinburgh on Sunday. Once flights are booked in the next few day I'll post up the schedule and we can get about rounding up troops! Cheers lads, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
