Absolutely. Ill speak with my admin assistant about this post!

Sounds fine Darryl. We will go the road to Kilbirnie. That's the only track piece. This allows the wind to push us up the coast. Greg.

The Route. https://www.strava.com/routes/23426443

Won't make this ride today now chaps! I'll aim for a jolly on Friday! Enjoy!

Good evening all. We, the Johnstone Wheelers, are in the very fortunate position to be one of the only clubs in Scotland to have a purpose built clubroom, owned and operated solely by us! So, why aren't we using this MORE? I'm proposing we hold a big Summer BBQ at the clubhouse on the 16 Aug 2020 to round of the summer. This is open to all, members, family and children. A small fee would be payed in order to buy food and possibly some soft drinks. If you want a few beers BYOB. A short turbo challenge and a raffle would also be held. This event would follow a short full club run. So, the question is, who's in? And who's interested?

Full reverse coast run this Sunday. Weather looks good, a little cold a d a favourable wind to ride north. 0930 at the clubhouse. Clubhouse - track to Kilbirnie - Dalry - WEST Kilbride - Bagel basket - coast round to Clune. Should be around 70 miles, regular main bunch pace, no man left behind. Strava route to follow.

I'll be out. Glad to see my " tragically unfit" partner in crime should be out. Ill make it to Dalry!

That's a belter. Those camps were hard riding. Some amazing routes.

8 men arrived at the clubhouse for the tour de Troon. Alan T, Alan McL, Tommy, James, Eric, David C, Iain C and myself. Two departed at Stewarton, Eric and David with the remaining 6 carrying on until Troon. A good return leg with cross/tail wind and rain. 60 steady winter miles in the bag. A prime example of main bunch riding.

Brutally honest, sadly true. Ill be back next weds for more. Thanks all.

Route should generally follow this. 60 miles. Bail out options at Stewarton for Intermediate bunch. https://www.strava.com/routes/23282436 Ride Captain to allow general variation, I personally do not know this route particularly well.

0930h clubrooms start Ride captain required for route and discipline. Weather looks reasonable at this stage. ** Contingency plan is coastal variation ** Whos in?

Yeah I'll be out Charlie, I'll return via haylie, Greg.

So far excellent work chaps! Thanks Colin for the Strava routes! Darryl, got a ride like that mapped, Thanks! and Alan, ill work on that too! Thanks all, keep it coming!!!!

As previously posted in other posts....the revival of bunch rides is in advanced stages. Inspiration required! Can I ask please that you tell me your favourite long ride. The usual format of the starting point, a few points of interest which hint towards the route. Clubhouse - Georgetown - bridge - Helensburgh - Kilcreggan ( via high Road) - Glen fruin to return. If you can slot in a short cut or " bail out" do tell. Ill plan to plan and map a few over the coming weeks. Kind Regards!

Working unfortunately. Enjoy!

Cracking ride indeed. Thanks all.

Puncture at home folks, I'll catch up.

I'll be out.

Cracking run today. 5 bodies out, Colin, Davie B, Anthony, Iain C and myself. Sewing bee route taken, good pace and good company. Davie B peeled off at peesweep, and Iain C at Kilbarchan. The remaining 3 went to Bernies for a quick coffee. Unfortunately a puncture at Linwood for myself however mid repair the legendary Mike rolled past and stopped for a quick chat. 42 miles all in. Thanks folks. More of the same soon please!!

Sounds good Glen, see you there.

Sounds good Glen, I have until 1330 latest. Possibly - clubrooms, G town, bishy, West ferry, Langbank, 3 amigos, Kilmacolm, Lochwinnoch via Johnshill, cafe in Lochwinnoch, track home? Short and sharp. Open to any other options. Greg.

** BUMP **

Folks, Myself, Stuart and Lorne are planning a ride in the direction of Helensburgh. Ill probably peel off at Sinclair St, however I believe there is appetite for Glen fruin. 9am clubrooms all welcome. Regular pace, habble at the known habble points. This is a direct substitute for Turbo.

No bother. Drop me a pm or fb message and we can arrange transfer.
