    Loads out and about today!

     

     First Jann and Ian Manson on the track heading towards the clubrooms from Lochwinnoch,, quickly followed by the welcome sight of Ramsay (back on two wheels) and Elaine on the same route.

     

    At the lochside cafe were John and Rita and Carol and Dave who had missed the bunch earlier.  After the cafe Carol, Dave and I joined forces for a bit, up the back road to Beith then back via Gateside, the rocky road and down Bowfield.

     

     Thanks to them the company on a great day to be out on a bike :icon_hee-haw

    John_s around 1pm this afternoon heading west on the track at Glengarnock.  

     

    I was lowering the tone in a distinguished group of sept and octogenarians heading the other way at a gentlemanly pace - fixed wheel and muddies today - almost time to put the good bike away!

    Bill T and myself headed out in glorious autumn sunshine this morning for a backroads hilly tour of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde.

     

    Kilbarchan, backroads to Lochwinnoch, round by the golf course then up the steep brae to the Kilmaclom road, down Phil's Folly, round by South Newton, over to the top of the Whinn, then back via Kilmacolm, Ingilston, Bishopton and Erskine to the Red Smiddy where we parted for home.  About 40 miles for Bill, around 55 for me.

     

    Great morning out with outstanding views, Bill on good form and great company as ever.

    Forecast looks fine so I'm going to head out for some miles to-morrow.  Not bothered much where (as long as it's not the coast road!) - maybe 40-60 miles from the clubrooms.  

     

    Company welcome if it suits anyone I can  be at Miller St for 9.30am.   Please post here if  interested - I will check at 10pm tonight.  If no takers I'll do my own thing but won't go via Miller St.

     

    Thanks

    Well done to all on a fine morning for a great cause - really impressive to see how this event has grown in such a short time!  

     

    Not JWCC's year, but some fine efforts nonetheless.  

     

    Super PB from Alan M, and great effort from Andy in the unfamiliar TT (and on the borrowed bike!) -  great to see Emma and Adam riding too.

    Hi Greg

     

    Just to wish you the best of luck in your new career and to say thanks to you for your good company and enthusiasm over the past seven years!  Lots of fond memories...  Kenny Mac's development group, the confined events, training camps on Skye, and not least your heroic efforts on Callum's Road on the occasion of your 18th birthday!

     

    Take care and don't be a stranger!

     

    Iain & Mary
