May's Moffat Magic
 

Ok guys how do you fancy heading out for a wee run on the 8th of May. 1st is a bank holiday weekend so we might be better doing family stuff and avoiding all the traffic.

Similar idea leave the start point at 10 am and have a ride of about 180 miles...

I was thinking about starting at the Falkirk Wheel and try to get some nice photos of the bikes near it.

the provisional route is;

Now half the time things can change slightly on the day but hopefully not.

I have riders at the moment as

The Guru
Suicidesam (to get legs slapped)
Blueflame (weather permitting)
Stramasher
Weegieblue
Bibio (late meeting maybe Peebles)
Carelesschucca
Siii (moffat)

Re: May's Moffat Magic
 

had to laugh at your poll - well done!

I was at Moffat on Sunday - tha A701 is on form, not too badly pot-holed at all.

You could take the run along St Mary's Loch, though that means you only do the Beef Tub (A701) one direction.

Map...Maybe

i took a visit to moffat on sunday evening aswell all down the 701.. there was only one really bad patch about half a mile out of moffat where the whole corner was mostly pothole. that and a chicken going for a stroll in the road.

i even got my photo took by a guy next to a white van.. shat myself a bit when i thought it was a speed gun

Re: May's Moffat Magic
 

You need to stop looking at random bits of road on maps... Take it this bit was spurred by the convo yesterday ;)

B8028? I'd pick up the run there.. from the house :mrgreen:

I'll take a blat up the Slamannan, Avonbridge, Westfield bit an have a look at it.. was shocking a few weeks back due to flooding and bodged pothole filling etc.

Looks mighty fine to me

Re: May's Moffat Magic
 

Yup. Love a bit of Moffat Mayhem...sorry magic.
That weekend ideal as I'll be watching number 46 get his 1st win in Estoril the week before.:smt112

Taking your approximate miles, very approximately as when I got back home on sunday I had clocked 268miles! Not complaining mind, just need to work on getting more pocket money fo go-juice.:)

Wheres the start?

Re: May's Moffat Magic
 

I love the road from Falkirk to Slamannan. it was brought to mind by talking about it... c'mon to the wheel see if we can get some nice photos...

Re: May's Moffat Magic
 

The start is at the Wheelhouse Restaurant just off the A803.

I try to keep the actual run at about 180 miles max because people have to get there and back home afterward. Its also the reason I try to pick central locations for the start, makes it fairer for everyone.

I'm already thinking about June and whether we give it a bye because of GMIV.
