I see from the AUK website that while theres a fine array of calendar events emerging for 2010 and beyond, there's no calendar events in Alba between 20th Sep and 18th Oct.

Any takers for the splendid Saltire 200k on Saturday 3rd October? I'm going to send off an entry form to Mr Cyclops shortly.

Planning a depart from Musselburgh Toon Hall 8am sharp.

As ever, availability subject to approval from the domestic powers that be and the lack of real life based issues taking precedence.

Hopefully there will be no snow.

G.

Will try to keep the list below updated (if indeed it becomes a list)

Who's in?

Y Lee G
Peekay
mercury kev
eck
Mr Ernst
Maverick75
Ryan
Valkyrie
Pingu

Possible

xrtimothy
Rich
OtherDave
Glasgow Dave
Frere Yacker

NB - At the risk of stating the obvious, it's your own responsibility to obtain a brevet card /route sheet from Cyclops before riding.

Hi Y Lee G,

Having just got back from hols to discover Katrine Capers has been cancelled I will be getting withdrawl symptoms if I don't do something soon. Put me down for this one as long as I am not required to take a weekend break.

Yes possible on that date . Recumbents gettin a re hash due to everything being worn out.
So might do it on my commuter ,MTB, Carbon thing if recumbents not ready.

First recumbents, now this...

Jings, you're scary.

Saturdays are not usually good for me, but I'll see if I can get away for this. It would be nice to start it before the snows come.

i'm up for giving this a go. but be warned chances of us actually doing it are slim - due to the curse!

Are you going to be riding round shouting "We're doomed" and rolling your eyes

. When I rode round a few weeks ago it was remarkably incident free, there was even some new tarmac and the cattle grids have been repaired so unwary audaxers can no longer disappear down one never to be seen again.

Rich753 · « **Reply #6 on:** 02 September, 2009, 09:15:14 pm »

Sounds good, please add me to the "possible" list

Maverick · « **Reply #7 on:** 02 September, 2009, 09:37:43 pm »

I would like to be added to that list of possible starters!

Ernst · « **Reply #10 on:** 06 September, 2009, 11:30:56 am »

Count me in. Mrs Ernst has an all day tutorial as it's only a couple of weeks before her exam.

eck · « **Reply #11 on:** 06 September, 2009, 03:13:53 pm »

valkyrie · « **Reply #16 on:** 13 September, 2009, 05:47:29 pm »

Hi Mr G, please add me to the list of riders.

Does anyone else here think we should start a petition to get Cyclops to run this one as a Calendar event?

Pingu · « **Reply #17 on:** 13 September, 2009, 05:48:32 pm »

Add me too

GlasgowDave · « **Reply #18 on:** 14 September, 2009, 06:25:00 pm »

May I express tentative interest?

I've got a brevet card from Cyclops, but the date I originally asked to do it has now passed. Is it ok to do it with the rest of you?

The more the merrier.

GlasgowDave · « **Reply #20 on:** 14 September, 2009, 08:39:09 pm »

Given that I've been rubbish at getting to events this year, I can only say tentative for now.

- it takes a special talent to miss out on the Midnight Madness by sleeping in. For a 6am start it'd be understandable, but for 9pm???

I consider that my finest (2) hour.

This fits in well with a planned trip up north. Provided you welcome expat interlopers into the circle of trust, I am a very likely (will send off for card).
