I cannot do this weekend either...but back for the next one.

Thanks for that and certainly would be of great interest for the book. The ones that raced for Scotland/Great Britian could be another chapter (not sure how many we are talking about...I know of three off the top of my head However, these individuals may also feature in the top 6 greats. Where do you live? Cheers Grant

Sorry mate....I am down south. Cheers Grant

As some of you know Willie Cosh and myself have been asked to head up the delivery of the book for our centenary year. Even though this is not until 2026, this is a project that should be given plenty of time to produce an outstanding product. To this end, we are keen to hear from individuals who would be keen to help. We would gratefully appreciate help in the following areas: 1. Writing a chapter on an era of the club. 2. Thoughts and a chapter on the future of the club. 3. Discussion/debate on the top six clubs greats. 4.Writing a chapter on the technical side of the bikes (i.e. changes over the years). 5. Artistic content - whether it be cartoons or poetry 6. Compile a sporting roll of honour. 7. Compile full list of members, old and new throughout the world. 8. We have tons of photos and need some help in sorting these out. 9. A wee comp to design the best front cover. This to be judged by a panel. If anyone is interested in helping with the above, please drop either myself or Willie a quick note.

It was certainly a cracking day out. Brilliant weather and superb company....we certainly need to do this again. Cheers Grant

Jan/Mary, Just spoke to Willie...he will meet us down at the ferry for 10:30am. Cheers Grant

Hey Jan, Cool...let me know the finer details of what is what and will give Willie a call. Cheers Grant

Hi Jan, I think Mary is meeting you tonight...we think it would be better to get the 10:30am ferry as we do not want to hanging around too long before the rest of the troops arrive. Let me know what is what and I will inform Willie. Cheers Grant

Hi Mary, I am up for cycling down to the ferry and doing the first one. Would do the usual and meet you at Bishopton...just let me know what time suits. Cheers Grant

Mary....no probs..I suppose going there and back the same route still gives us 50 miles. The only thing I was thinking was allowing us to do a wee loop...cheers Jan..sorry for some reason I cannot open your links for mapmyride...I think you need to enter the longer link near the top of the page to allow joe blogs to look at it...cheers

The proposed route was just a starter for ten. We can always do the route in reverse and do the 30ish miles before the cafe stop. Ramsay...will you be going the shorter route back the ferry once finished at the cafe. Davie...thanks for the tip about the tickets. I am certainly open to suggestions. Cheers Grant

Further to Ramsay's post about us meeting up for a bit to eat at Strachur...I have compiled a possible route for the medium group using Mapmyride...see the link below: http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-ki ... 8772057786 (ignore the mis-spelling of Dunoon...he he). If this is okay with all, I propose we meet at the clubhouse say 9ish and drive down to Gourock and get the ferry across to Dunoon on either the 9:30 or 10am. I have a spare cycle rack on my car and from memory Willie has a spare 2. It is about 25 miles from the ferry to Strachur so we could easily be up there for lunch. Looking at the Western Ferries web-site it would be £7.20pp return with the bikes going free What do you think? Cheers Grant

Hi Ramsay, Does your wife not fancy joining up with the medium group? Cheers Grant

Good man Willie...any ideas of a good route for us? Cheers Grant

Brill Jan. Now that is our little bunch upto 3...who else fancies the medium group? Cheers Grant

Hi Jan, Great to see you out and good will power to keep going. Hope you will join Mary, I and whoever can come along next Sunday. What cycling computer do you have? Cheers Grant

What a great day. The weather was in our favour apart from the wind between Neilston and Dunlop. About 8 people started from the clubhouse, with people swinging back due to other commitments. All and all a brill day with final mileage of 60 miles. Hope some of these people manage the trip next Sunday cross the water. Cheers Grant

HI Mary, I would up for that as long as it was the 23rd so can bring the new bike. Cheers Grant

Hi Ramsay, Yeah I am up for it as long as there is more than just the fast group. Cheers Grant

Hi Willie, Brilliant...look forward to it...cheers

Hi Fiona, See the link that is part of my original posting. This directs you to MapMy Ride. You are more than welcome and don't worry to can do as much or little as you want. Jan, I would be great to see you there. Cheers Grant

Myself and Mary Ashworth are planning to leave the clubhouse at 9am and heading out towards Moscow and back. The run is approx 54 miles http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-ki ... 5734322718 It would be great if we can get a wee bunch on this route. Cheers Grant

Hi Jan, Sorry I will not be able to make this one. Have a good run out. Cheers Grant

No probs Ian. Not at the clubhouse this Sunday, but will be there the following one. Cheers Grant
