Let me know about the really bad potholed / gravel traps roads near Twechar, and I'll re-route to completely bypass the offending areas.
Crieff is a perfect place to split up, as if you follow the A823 from Crieff, it runs you right past Knockhill and directly into Dumfernline. A 25 mile run straight to Fife teritory. Just watch out for the loony 17 tonner lorry drivers who seem to regard it as a personal shortcut / racetrack from Crieff (West) to the Fife areas and the Forth Bridge. I'll say no more on that topic...
If peeps are happy with that starting point (somewhere in Cumbernauld / Kilsyth), and happy with the proposed route. (Nutty - you can completely bypass the Dukes Pass by going the A81 Port of Mentieth to Kilmahog). Then lets settle on the route.
Once we give it a try and decide peeps like it via end of run feedback, then we'll call it the SV Ecosse Cumbernauld run.
We're still not decided yet on a date that suits everybody yet though. Time's getting short......
All peeps who want to go on this run PM me your mobile no. so we can keep track of everyone should the s**t hit the fan. I'll print the nos. on the route map so anybody who gets lost can at least phone for assistance / recovery / etc.
Food stops for this run - where's the best places to stop (free easy parking for a pack of bikers..). Then we can factor these into the run, and make them the meeting places.
