Cheers Martin.. ☺️

Will see how things are in the morning, if OK I'll be at Bridge for 10..this mornings forecast wasn't as bad, but the reality was pretty sh*te to be honest.. 

Cheers Billy 

folks,

one of my mates is planning to go to Mont Ventoux in Aug/Sept, and was wondering if i had any pointers. i haven't done it, so was wondering if any of you guys had any tips ? Places to stay, which side is best to climb from, or anything else that might be useful..

cheers

ian

Any advice on crash diets would be very welcome 🤐

Ah, never seen this till now..managed to get out for a bit .. 

My only opportunity this weekend is tomorrow 9-12, planning a wee tour of the shire, company welcome 

Cheers Ian

Yip found that tough today. Think I was getting too anxious with my garmin telling me I was over 200 bpm. On a positive note had a word with Bagel Basket owners about coffee complaints. They were grateful for feedback and were going to review their coffee but meantime provided extra coffee shots for those that wanted. Lovely gesture. It’s always better to give feedback to a coffee house that has supported club for many years rather than abandon ship

has it had a change of owners Charlie ?

Will leave Bishy at 11 and head up Georgetown, catch youse on the road...

I would. Forecast is to be dry at 11. I’ll post up at 10.30 to let you know what I’m doing.

Sounds like a plan 

If forecast pans out would anyone fancy a 2/3 hours tour of the shire from 12'ish onwards? 

sound good...

Thanks Alan

It has been a few years ago since we last did it as a club run but down to Mennock Pass and up to the radar station is one of the most memorable rides ive had.  There was 7 of us out that day and i think everyone either blew up or was close to it at some point in the ride!  Needs decent weather and a long summer day - big miles (130+), rolling grippy roads and pretty committing as there isn't much in the way of  bail out options.

 

From last year this was a cracker - could be done from the clubrooms  https://www.strava.com/routes/21264510

The Mennock Pass day was a monster, great fun....

Departing BOW viaduct @9.30am. Cycle track to knapps then down the whin spango valley coast road to Largs( bagel basket for a coffee) then home via west Kilbride & Kilbirnie. Company welcome.

if weather gods nice may go over loch thom

you're determined to get that route done right enough Charlie

Good to get some decent miles in despite the weather 😁

Get youse at the Pullman... 

Back to work I'm afraid 😩😩

Anyone up for a run tomorrow? I fancy 4 hrs or so from 9am.. Company welcome.. 

Hopefully 

Afraid I only have a very small window, about 2 hrs, so will probs just do something local 9-11, or thereabouts.. 

Cracking way to end a nice day on the bike...

Planning to leave Bishopton at 9.30 heading round the Cloch, hopefully meeting up at the Whin 

I'm up for a run, but haven't managed out much lately and would fancy a few more

miles, might head out a bit earlier round the Cloch, up the hill from Inverkip to Loch Thom with the aim of meeting you guys at the bottom of the Whin then on to BOW for a refreshment 🍺

me too, working
