To all the wannabe Master Chef’s & Bake-off hopefuls …….. of the Wheelers,

 

I have been asked about the when/if this popular “Drum-Up† & it is on Sunday 22nd October - Geoff have posted on FB page.

 

Meeting for the 10am crossing on the Western Ferry at Gourock.

 

Here are a few links from post of yesteryears:

Looking forward to see a big bunch of Wheelers!

Drum up number 4, brilliant as always!

 

First of all, big thanks to Iain Lochrane, Geoff & Linda Smith for organising this delightful run & inviting everyone to join in, also for the chief fire starters on site too!

 

Weather forecast wasn't ideal, so I was pleasantly surprise to see a large bunch of yellow & blue at the Loch shore - I counted 13 - Campbell, Colin, David & Carol, Graham & Jane, 4 x Iain McGinty, Carvill, McTarvish, Archiebald, Gerard, Paul McD & myself (sorry if I missed anyone) We seem to make up half the attendees today :-) chapeau Wheelers!

 

Culinary wise, it was a bit of a disaster for me as my craft sausages end up being firewood  :shock:  Luckily a few was well stocked & the best was Gerard's FILLET STEAK, which I managed to blag a piece, it was bloody tasty ......... thanks Gerard!

Not to mention the red wine, home baking, truffles, coffees etc. It was better than any cafe that I've been in out on a run!

 

Don't forget we did a bit of cycling too  :grin:  Thanks to everyone for the wheels again today & it was much needed as the way out was a horrible head wind .......... 152km for me by the time I limped home, I'm totally spent but with a full stomach, absolutely gallus!

 

Same again next year please & time to look out for some titanium & carbon BBQ utensils ........ over to you Gerard!

 

Cheers

Another great run, for some strange reason I really love that climb over from Ardentinny to Loch Eck... great turnout from the JWCC, Velopreda, Inverclyde and also a few Couriers among others. Red wine courtesy of Paul McD, a lovely Reserva Port from Jane, rolls n square slice and a couple of deserved pints in the Bishy inn. Aye, no bad this cycling malarkey Ohyadancer!
