Just a couple of fotys from Sundays adventure

Kenny I'm not being pedantic, can you be more specific, I am totaly open to a route.

Billy we don't need to know what was slippy in some BRAS. I'm up for some offroad, any route would suit. The run that Chung and I did last Sunday is good, not to technical but a bit short.

Assos chamios cream and knee length wool socks. The socks are good for cool days under longs, the creams good all year,

Tony our run was just like that, in our little world (lol) plus we had a frozen lake at the end of our ride in Robertson park. Can you give us any other local routes, I thought this one was a little tame in the direction that we rode it (west to east).

Ok, see you then.

Mtb option could be above Lochwinnoch, 2 routes 1st from Muirsheild centre in the hills (old mine workings, retrace, then shooting path) not to technical perhaps and mostly dry just now but no bail outs that I can remember except at the end of the retrace form the mine. The other is up past Lochwinnoch cemetry to Muirfauldhouse farm and out over the hills to Misty Law then back in via the Maich water and Ladyland farm, down to the track then into Lochwinnoch. This one will be quite technical and possibly very wet with no bail outs. See google earth for both these trails, they should be quite easy to find and follow on the aerial photos if your familiar with the area. I've been told that there are rideable paths in the woods at Barnbrook on the Kilmalcolm to Lochwinnoch road, but looking at a map unless they go into the woodland there not very long. Tony C. posted a route above Johnstone a couple of weeks ago (Sun 6th), and knowing him it should be intresting-- Miller St to Auchenlodment Rd Brandyburn path up to Gleniffer Braes singletrack to Robertson Park, then onto Tannahill Walkway Glen Park landrover track up to Brownside Braes left then right, past reservoir back to Tannahill Walkway Robertson Park left on the B-road, minor rd to Mid Hartfield, then onto cross-country path downhill to Howwood cycle-track back to Miller St Plenty of bailouts on this and not too technical should be prety dry as well Have a look at them and post any comments.

Got this thread a bit late whos going on the road and whos going turboing?? Cant make up my mind!

Can anyone tell me the start times for this weekend coming 27th/28th Nov both at Kings Park and Bellahouston. Looking at previous events I think 10.30-11.00 a.m. and finishing by arround 2p.m. Thanks

The hungry ones more or less followed this route along with a prospective new member (Mark from Kilbirnie, who will hopefully be out with the bunch next Sunday) after leaving Lochwinnoch. Good run on a good day with some new roads for me and one or two others.

I was talking to Billy on todays run and want to lend my support to his proposal. I will post one or two options later, but for now lets see how this runs.

Paul, count me in, see you at 9

Ken thanks for a good run. Greg good job the UCI dosent have a test for your "energy sticks" otherwise a lot of the continental riders would be banned or suspended due to 2nd hand usage. Ha Ha

Tony this run looks good, see you at the clubrooms at 9 Martin

David Sorry for an answer at short notice, what about Clubrooms at 9 then follow our noses West? Martin

Tony, Thanks for a very good route today, roads I never would have known existed. The guy we lost was unfortunate but perhaps better on the first hill, than have him blow up half way round.

I sent Dave a text this morning and got a reply so he is alive . He has what looks likes quite a bad gash on his right knee from where he fell on to the rear of a car while trying to squeeze through traffic that was stopped at the set of lights at the bottom of the Haylie Brae. Phoned him and he says is fine and well.

Paul, I would be up for a moderate pace as I've not turned a pedal for about a month if thats OK with you. Martin

I've been out of circulation for a while and wonder if any date has been set or if I've missed this night ? Martin S

Jim are cyclists not seen as a little weird already by most folk without looking like these guys? Martin

Good luck and best wishes Frank. Maybe see you out for a Sunday Bunch run if your back home for a visit. Martin S.
