Hi all, I'm trying to arrange a meet on 3rd May @ Stirling services 10am, then out for a run from there. (Weather permitting of course)
If you fancy popping along, your all more than welcome regardless of what foccin bike you have

Just stuck a link in the Facebook group to this, I know I lot of the old crowd don't drop in here much so might not see it here. ( RazMcGruff on Razgruffs log in )

Ahh right, saw that once I searched a wee bit, thought closed group meant not operating now lol
Will I need a special sign or handshake?

Request sent, just had reply from the foc-u group and got accepted

Fife Charity Run that day.....

Should come to that guys.... have a run and make some money for good cause...

interesting, do you have a better map with the route on it? can see roughly where it's going but want to make sure, cheers.

I'm happy to do either. If the run we could meet for coffee before hand? If it's to far for people then we'll just have to do our own little run?

Route looks like glenrothes to dumferline, stirling then around to st andrews - ish?

Good shout about meeting beforehand for coffee for those that dont want to go too far.
Yeah I'm happy to do either too, but not to sure about finishing away up in St.Andrews with the long haul back for me and a few others that come from Glasgow way, but then I guess someone has to travel more than others in things like this.
Open to suggestion, get your twopence worth in and see what the majority say.

youngsterbiker · « **Reply #11 on:** 14 April 2015, 08:12:57 pm »

like i said either. Both are about the same distance for me. Maybe a little half and half? Do the start of the rally until around the Stirling area then we can always turn off and do our own thing. Save you guys travelling to much?
Otherwise just tell me where and when and I'll be there

sinto · « **Reply #12 on:** 14 April 2015, 08:42:23 pm »

I'm happy regardless of where I go, that said, a fair jaunt to glenrothes to start at 12 is a bit late by the time it gets back to st.Andrews for me anyhow.
I'd still be up for meeting at 10 @ Stirling, so if anyone wants to meet then go do their own thing that's all cool.

I`ll more than likely be marshalling and helping out with this run as I`m part of the committee, even though I`m not from fife, wont be hard to miss,,,,,, fat Focer on a thou lol

What's it like as a run?
It looks a fair distance, I marshal at Yorkhill and Erskine but tge fife looks a fair ride, is it everyone together throughout the run?

Lol well it's a fair distance once you add it all together 249 all in for me

It's certainly doable, but I'll probably have my boy on back too and maybe bit much for him.

we try and stick as a group throughout the run, usually deviates into a few groups as roundabouts/junctions inevitably split the pack up BUT we always have marshalls spaced front to back, a support vehicle and a recovery van at the rear along with a marshall as tailgunner to keep everyone safe, pace isn't silly usually around 50 - 60 mph dependant on roads.

The run is a long day for me aswell (not as much as you) and it would be nice to meet people off here

sinto · « **Reply #21 on:** 19 April 2015, 08:31:10 pm »

It's all about what you want to do, anyone can leave/arrive when they want, I'm just making a meeting point and a route, if people want to just come along and meet each other that's great, if they want to come the run or go and do their own thing afterwards, that's great too.
Btw, youngsterbiker, I was up glencoe today but never saw you, I did see your message in what you done with your fazer today though.

youngsterbiker · « **Reply #22 on:** 19 April 2015, 08:46:27 pm »

I only found out i had sunday off on friday evening. If i had known sooner I would have posted on here.

Disadvantage of my job i guess.

Yes the joys of working life lol
We had a good day for it, was loads of bikes out :-)
