26" wheels, bought as spare set of wheels so as I could switch between off-road and slicks. No longer needed as I don't have the bike.
Open to offers.

Shimano rear wheel, bought this new, has only ever been used on turbo with turbo tyre.
Open to offers, it's just taking up space as I never turbo.

Passed 4 wheelers today.
Not sure who first one was in a Johnstone gilet in BoW, then Boyd, Dave C? and then Mike.

Passed someone today who was wearing a long sleeve Johnstone top but not sure who it was.
I was approaching the bridge on the cycle path round the corner from the club, on my way for a takeaway coffee.

Only a certain few will appreciate my last comment 🤮
There's a really good bunkhouse in Brodick, belongs to the Douglas hotel.

Went along the road from Kilmacolm to Houston and back today on one of the Renfrewshire lanes. Searched council website but can’t find the others.
Anyone know where the others are? Warlock Road and Corsliehill Road sounded familiar.

So what is the £8m facility?
-
On my to do list, but I'd like to go when there is EHU available to book on the campsite.

I have a pair of Oakley Crosslink Zero, designed to take prescription lenses.
Look as new as hardly worn due to being a bit big for me.
£40 if anyone is interested before I pop then on eBay.

I'm following another thread on another forum where a similar discussion is ongoing.
I tried at least 4 eBikes before I bought mine, front hub drive, rear, Shimano steps with electronic shifting crank drive and Bosch crank drive. I bought the one which made me grin the most (Bosch) which feels the closest to riding a "normal" bike. I also have an ongoing knee issue.
Mine is a marketed as a city bike, plenty torque and now have a 400wh and 500wh battery. The Ribble, Orbea, Boardman road/cross bikes all have less oomph than my commuter.

Is it best to pre book the ferry crossing?
Yes, at moment due to restrictions on numbers you need to book.

chapeau Jann, enjoy tomorrow, report please to whet our appetites !
Alarm was set for 7am, set off at 8am. I was booked on the 09:40 ferry. Joined by another 9 or maybe 11 people and bikes.
Didn't have any breakfast, thought I would get a bacon roll and a coffee to take away in the wee cafe just beside the ferry in Brodick, it was shut!
Got off the ferry in Brodick at 10:50 and headed south. Lovely smooth tarmac in Brodick.
Carried on to next place, cafe shut! There was one opened in Whiting Bay but it was busy and couldn't be bothered waiting in the queue.
It was Lochranza? (Wee ferry) before there was anywhere open that sold hot food.
Quite enjoyed the big long climb and then the totally awesome decent after this 😁
Rolled along into Brodick for 4pm in time to catch the 16:45 ferry back
FYI you need to wear face covering in the ticket office and on ferry (in case anyone forgets)
There is quite a lot of very rough tarmac, particularly going through towns/villages.
There are no food or drinks available on ferry.

Unless its a northerly wind (or north westerly or north easterly) then clockwise should be fastest. On a still day i'd prefer to do it clockwise too, south half of the island is harder so better to do that with fresh legs.
Glad I took your advice and headed south first. Tired legs by the time I got to Machrie.

Update to follow later 🚴

Ta, booked tickets for tomorrow. Forecast currently wind coming from West.

Looking at the ferry times for tomorrow and Friday and trying to work out of I can get round in-between.
Clockwise or anticlockwise?

There is space again on Saturday going over on the 7am but not coming back on the 12:30.
