Think I will give this a go (maybe!).

Chris - you sure about the forecast? This is what I see. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gcutqszh0#?fcTime=1445731200 We JWCC are made of sternstuff.

At Miller St. there were 3 (Iain C - on his TT bike!!, Ian H, TT. Thompson) for Largs and 5 (me, Boyd, Gerard, Peter Andy D) for Troon. It was decided that we would all go to Troon. A gorgeous day for a run after the initial chill and a steady pace was maintained. Nice cafe stop at the Blueberry. At Kilwinning on the way back the faster (Largs) 3 went on ahead. I went on past Lochwinnoch (!) and at Kilbarchan took the back roads back to LW to round the mileage up to 70 miles. A lovely day out!

Usual route: Stewarton Kilmaurs Crosshouse and back via Long Drive Kilwinning Route 7. Cafe stop at the Blueberry. About 60 - 65 miles - steady pace. 9:00 Miller St. Who's in?

A bunch of 7 seevn for this. Sprinted for the 30 at Largs but possibly beaten by Iain by a tyre width (photo finish needed!!) Legs felt a bit heavy after Largs so thanks for waiting at Dalry. Otherwise a very pleasant run in good weather conditions. Computer said 18 mpg average!!

Feeling fit(ish) after clocking up 300 miles in Majorca last week so count me in. George - there is no try - only do or do not (Yoda - Star Wars).

Me.

No riding today due to torrential rain! Previous 3 days OK. Photo of me at Cap Formentor.

On my way to Majorca tomorrow with bike (and wife!) She said she would clean it when I get back from a ride :-)

As I am a real ale drinker I was thinking of having a pre-dinner swally in the Gryffe Inn just up the main street. Paul - Linda is taking me in - do you want a lift?

Brilliant result - well done to all (and that's from a sassenach!)

Gorgeous day for a run to Troon! Bit chilly at the start but it warmed up later. Bunch of 8: me, Renny, Len, Robert, Boyd, Graham, Paul L and 'TT' Thompson. A good pace to Troon. Sat outside the Blueberry enjoying the sunshine but a cold breeze off the sea. A good brisk run back. Boyd and Graham peeled off at Highfield for the track back and Len peeled off at MOD to head for Beith/Lochwinnoch Rest of us headed up the rocky road and then a sprint ensued from Greenacres to the bottom of Bowfield - won by Paul L, me second, 'TT' third. According to my Strava records, when we did the run in early July the average speed was 14.9 - this time it was 16.8!! Well done, guys!

Ok Len.

Hope you can make it Alan

Hi, Tony, Barring mechanicals we usually reach Troon about 10:50. Restart 11:30 to head back. I am usually back in Lochwinnoch by 1:45 taking the longer return via Howwood.

09:00 Miller Street. Usual route: Bowfield, Dunlop, Kilmaurs, Crosshouse, Cafe stop at Blueberry in Troon. Return via Long Drive, Kilwinning, Cycle route 7. Steady pace ( like last week). Weather looking good! Who's in?

An excellent run. It stayed dry!! Boyd, Emma, Paul L, 2 x David C and me headed over the bridge, Boyd peeled off before Killearn as he had to be back early. Paul introduced us to a new cafe in Fintry - The Courtyard - nice! Only mechanical was my front derailleur coming loose which was quickly fixed. Colin H caught us at the end the bridge on his way back from Kilcreggan and pedalled with us to the end of GTown Road. As usual a solo slog back to Lochwinnoch into the wind but 81 miles in the bag.

Yes - it was a nice afternoon - skived off work to go out on bike! Oh the joy of working from home! I did recognise you Ian. Also saw Ramsey at Glengarnock Thursday evening.

Hi, Chung, I normally do sign in for these things.

Miller street 09:00 Over the bridge - Hardgate - Carbeth - Killearn - Fintry - Crow Rd Cafe stop Clachan of Campsie - Strathblane - Bridge and back. Approximate route: 70 miles http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/806609603 Who's in?

Won't be out as minding grandkids this weekend. It is more exhausting than an 80 mile club run!! Can someone post up something?

Yes Friday is better.

9 of us made good time to Helensburgh where 6 had a cafe stop and then went up SInclair St. Me Emma and Graham continued up to Glen Fruin with a cafe stop at Balloch. Saw the other group pedal by while we in the cafe. A good run with the rain only starting for me when I was 3 miles from Lochwinnoch - good incentive to push hard for home! 76 miles at a decent pace.

About 15 - 16 mph average. Forecast looking dire so may cancel. Will post before 8:00 tomorrow for those who have replied so far.

19th OK for me also.
