San Miguel Injury

Just wondering if anyone from the club has or is going to enter this. It's not cheap, but I have heard it's good fun and sells out quickly!

As always - I'm in

thanks Dave for today- a lovely day to be cracking the boundaries of the shire. Well done to Ernie and Daddy day care (John). See you in two weeks.

Graham, ross and I might tag along. how far is the ride

Should be there- mudguards already on Captain !

Thanks to all for their assistance on Sunday, worst mechanical day out ever for me!! Cheers to Chung, Alan and Paul and of course my wife who had to collect a soaked husband from Morrisons!!! Good company, good speed and good cake- Let's do it again some time?

I would be interested in your sessions chung

Might be a goer, Captain. Winter bike ready now.

Good run yesterday and brilliant weather.

Sorry David for the promotion- I should be okay for Sunday, weather looks good- see you then

could be an option- lets see what Dave Cowan puts up as intermediates run captain!

Well done to all and thanks for your support - really enjoyed the company and pedalling through some beautiful parts of our country. Just remember that you have all completed the second stage of the Johnstone Wheelers island challenge- more discussions at the 90th dinner

Evening, Weather is okay with a assisting wind on the way back to Renfrewshire. confirmed for tomo- Morna, ross, Graeme, carol and dave, Joe, Boyd, Gerard and beth at the ferry and maybe one or two others. Most all will be meeting at Amarettos at 0815- so best to see everybody there.

Afternoon, Weather is favourable for Sunday- lets be serious we live in Scotland- so there is a case of lets get on with it. I estimate 10-12 and have provisionally booked a table at Harry Haws, till looking at the 1600 boat back and should be wind behind all the way back to Renfrewshire. If there is any change to my first post or forecast all of a sudden gets worse I'll post .

Hi Gerard, Yes it's still on and will only be postponed if peeeing down. I'll be updating all those that responded, so at the moment it's looking like 9 or 10 of us.

If I have the legs and you are still about, happy to come along afterwards

For those of you that are keen to see the route www.strava.com/routes/6161502 www.strava.com/routes/6161244

I'll be there.

Myself and a few others are, weather permitting, heading down to Bute for a pedal round the island on the 11th of September. A number of options to encourage as many as possible. So you can do 60-70, 40-50, 35 or the simple 22 Roon Bute. Option 1- meet at Club Rooms at 0800- head up cycle path to Amarettoes, Bridge of Weir at 0815ish. From here head up cycle path to Port Glasgow and then across to Dougliehill Road to head down into Greenock following the B7054 to then pick up the A78 down to Weymss Bay. This could be the route back, but we may consider Clune Brae instead of the B788 Kilmacolm Road. Option1 A- is the route above but either bus/train back up or down ( I understand that the trains are off from Weymss Bay to Paisley that day, but a bus service will be in place instead) Option 2- park at Weymss Bay £3 per day, or travel both ways by train(remember a bus is on instead) be there sharp to make sure you get parked. if it is a good day it will be busy. We are heading for the 1015 ferry so you need to be down for 0945. All cyclists must access the ferry with the cars and you can get a ticket at the ticket office at the back of the car lines. tickets cost £6.10. They do claim that they may restrict bikes, but I have never known this to happen on this route. We will meet at Guilford square at 1100- straight across from the ferry terminal in Rothesay. Roon Bute- heading round the island clockwise to Kingarth Hotel, cutting off to head towards Scalpsie, onto the south side of Ettrick Bay and then down to the edge of Port Bannatyne. Roon Bute A- for those happy with this, you will take a right turn and head back into Rothesay- 22miles Roon Bute B- For those willing then head out to Rhubodach, turn at the end of the road at the ferry terminal and then head back into Rothesay. "The sting in the tail"- then for all of us- the 'serpentine climb' with three options- bottom to top with the decent round by the golf course- the tough one bottom to first old hotel and back down- lovely views bottom to third bend - easy peeesy 1400 ish- take in lunch at Harry Haws, with views over the castle and then head for 1600 boat. Roon Bute has a couple of lumpy bits, but nothing excessive, Buteiful( do you like what I've done here!!!!) views across to Arran, Kintyre and Kyles of Bute. It's well worth it. If I have missed any info out please contact me- any questions please message. Team Cowan have already signed up, as have Ross Roberston, Joe newbie and Morna So who else is up for this?

Many thanks Richard for timekeeping and well done to all.

Ross and I will be there to take part

possibly for me

Ross Robertson and I will be there.

I'll be riding as well

Thanks Dave and Boyd for the run the yesterday. Good fun, good chat and just the way it should be!.
