[DarenCogdon]

I've put my name down to do Edinburgh this year.

I didn't think the sign up for edinburgh had happened yet?! Did I miss it?

Because I'm the Penicuik Hunter for 2013, I had to let Tower Farm know what common rides I wanted to do this year, so I elected to do Edinburgh as one of them. I dunno if the registration is open yet for it, but probably worth contacting the secretary just in case.

Nope, Edinburgh's registrations not open yet. Join it on Facebook and you'll get notification of when it opens. Last years filled up in under an hour! As a principle you get an automatic place.

Ah thanks, I get the e-mails as did it last year but thought I missed it.

Sorry to bump an old thread but I was wondering, out of the common rides left, are there any that aren't too mad/fast/long? Thanks!

 

[DarenCogdon]

Well, I won't be doing any more this year...!

Why not Darren?

Long story short, I basically buggered my left shoulder on the midweek ride-out in Penicuik. One operation and 30 staples later, I'm now the proud owner of a nice dueling scar that goes from one side of my body to the other!

While I have ridden since (not to mention doing the whole parade with a broken shoulder!), I don't think I've got the strength in my arm to control a horse in a common ride.

C'mon, its Monarch! Just keep balanced and he'll do the rest!

Musselburgh, if you can still get a place for Saturday.

Nah, you're OK for now.
