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 )

Fife Charity Run that day.....

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

Re: Scottish foccers meet? - sinto607276 - 13-04-15

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.

Re: Scottish foccers meet? - youngsterbiker - 14-04-15

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? Big Grin

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.

Re: Scottish foccers meet? - youngsterbiker - 14-04-15

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 8)

Re: Scottish foccers meet? - sinto607276 - 14-04-15

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.

Re: Scottish foccers meet? - zed6 - 15-04-15

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?

Re: Scottish foccers meet? - the cueball - 15-04-15

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.
