27th april - Main bunch run with intermediate and 30 miler bunches welcome!!

[gregbalden]

I propose a run to dunoon. Catch the ferry, someone who knows the times would be so kind to post, 9 or 10 or something? - ride down, ferry, over loch tarzan climb, then onto strachur. Stop for some nosh at baytea room cafe, then back to dunoon and ferry home.

 

Potential options include, loch tarzan climb then to strachur, stop and take in the whistlefield climb on route to the ferry.

 

Or as the title says, the 30 milers and intermdiate bunches join in the ride to the ferry, ( or drive ) all head off, the 30's and ints go straight to strachur and we all meet there for nosh!

 

Working 20/04 and 4/05 so will miss both other runs.

 

Greg.

Excellent idea Greg!

 

I should make it along for that. Dunoon is one of my favourite run after Roubaix of course ! :-)

 

Cheers

Sounds great I will be there.

[Richie Cross]

I'll be there

[Richie Cross]

I'm sure others will as well Greg

[Guest EPCC]

Racing well taking part in a TT to be more precise

[Guest George]

I'm also plodding around the westferry if I get out my sick bed.

[gregbalden]

Ok doke. Let's firm up some plans.

 

0930 ferry, meet at miller street, a tad earlier for some planning on riding down. 0830. Direct route, down the track to the top of the clune, then coast down to the WESTERN FERRIES, the wee red one. Tickets can be bought at the wee shop before hand.

 

I reckon bottom of the clune for 9am? Latest? Any disagreement here?

 

I hope to see more faces out than what's posted

 

Greg

[gregbalden]

As for tickets. Ill buy the book of 20? Tickets from the shop, saves some cash for us all and we'll sort it on the ferry. Can some one post the price for this, I can't actually remember

 

Greg

[CraigB]

Sounds good

[CraigB]

Sounds good

[gregbalden]

Just realised about the tickets, if your there at the shop we can all chip in. If not, sorry. I don't want to buy some and miss others and then have a rammy on the boat.

 

Just thought I'd clear that up.

 

Greg

[Jannza]

Last time I bought from shop £4.60 return, on the ferry was £7.50 return.

 

May have gone up since then.

[gregbalden]

Thanks jann!

 

 

[AlanT]

I'm up for this. 08.30 at miller St. It is.

[thejanullrichdietplan]

Hope to make it out, Dunoon is one of my favourites too.

 

Are we doing the C11 climb?

[chung]

Greg,

 

I think catching the 9.30am ferry would be tight even with a 8.30am Miller Street start. The 10am ferry is more realistic me thinks.

 

Anyway, what's the weather forecast like for this Sunday?

 

Cheers

 

Chung

[gregbalden]

Yeh that's fine chung,I'm easy with that. White cloud, nothing special. Hopefully dry.

 

 

Iain, maybe. We can see on the day, would need some extra direction to keep us on route for that one haha.

 

 

Greg

[Richie Cross]

When are we likely to arrive back at Gourock?

Ta

[gregbalden]

Depends on the route we go. In the event of a c11 detour that's probably an extra 1.5 hours I'd reckon. Maybe half 3 or 4, that's normal route, dunoon, loch tarzan, strachur, dunoon.

Richie

Most routes round are about 60 miles so your talking about 1430 1500

[Jodyc]

Excellent idea Greg,

 

Any other 30 milers or Intermediates going for this ? Fancy getting a long run in especially with Drumlanrig only 6 days after this.

 

In anticipation

 

Jody

[Jannza]

For anyone wanting a shortish run, ferry to cafe and back is 38 miles.

 

Club to ferry is 20ish miles (each way)

 

One of my favourite rides but I'm working
