Paul C

Run to Troon. Cafe stop at The Blueberry. 65 miles? Alternative is to Eaglesham via Moscow (but only if Graham is going cos he knows the route!) Meet on the blue track bridge at Kilbarchan 09:30. RSVP

Sorry to hear about your tumble. I hope you are being 'philosophical' about it, professor. :-) Get well soon.

Hired a bike and covered 190 miles in 3 days. Not too hot (25 C). Not a big island so have just about been on every road there is!!

Ritchie - replied to your txt. 8:30 leaving LW

I'll do the shorter route with Graham. I will bypass the club rooms and head through Kilbarchan/Brookfiled to be at Bridge 9:30 - 9:40. Will be passing Houston busstop about 9:05 (but not stopping) Ritchie - you could park at the shops at Crosslee if nobody else going from club.

Saw Richard and Big Al (?) heading up the A77 this morning as Graham and I were blasting down it with a good tailwind!

A lovely ride in the sun today with Graham. The wind was a bit harsh at times. Excellent cafe stop in Kilmaurs. 64 miles

Something like attached route but with Kilmaurs aswell. EDIT ....... Can't seem to add GPX file. (see my Strava up load 14th April) So, neilston, A77, Kilmaurs, Benslie, Kilwinning.

Planning on doing about 60 - 70 miles. Steady pace and probably a cafe stop. Meet 10:00 on the track bridge at Kilbarchan. RSVP

Hope the fallers OK. You are all mad! I fondly recall my main bunch days when I am talking to my grandchildren with ma wee blanket over ma knees.

After leaving the bunch before Gateside, Alan F and me headed through Barmill to Kilwinning and back up Route 7 to Lochwinnoch. Sun came out at the end. Needn't have used the winter bike! 61 miles and no cafe stop - shocking!!!!!! Where were you Ritchie!

I'll be there. From Gateside I will head to Kilwinning to add on some extra miles

Not doing this now as a bit short of time. Sent a txt to Graham. Enjoy your ride.

Graham - I assume you are part of the 'we'. If so, can we met at the bustop on Gtown Road near the Houston roundabout (where the Thursday chain gang starts) at 9:00? Or Bulls garage 8:55? I will not be doing the full route.

I'll be there.

What a gorgeous day for a ride!! Soaked up the sun outside the greenshutters cafe in Largs. 62 miles in the bag.

Might even wears shorts tomorrow!!

Aaaaaah .......... the joy of semi-retirement!!!

Graham, On Sunday we talked about doing a run on Thursday. How about Brisbane Glen/BB/West Kilbride? Weather looks good. 10:00 at the Pullman? Anybody else?

I have J-type going spare. Length is 25 cm. Make; TranzX - see photo You can try before you buy. First time I used them I knocked a minute of previous best Georgetown time.

I always carry a 10 mm Allen key since a crank came off near Kilwinning and I had a 9 mile one legged ride back to Lochwinnoch a couple of years ago!!

Route 2 for me. I will be at Pullman at 8:00

Same question as Alan. Where is the report? Isthere no free WiFi in Belgium?

Gerard. Good choice for meeting in Ayr. Been there. It is where the Ayr Flower Show is held. Really looking forward to this trip. P

I'll join you and will add an extra bit at the end (for myself)
