Thanks for posting this Paul, it was the best weather so far this year - a great day out, a new cafe for me and my knees have seen the sun now!

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

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!!

Hauld on - story has gone south here. I think you'll find that AnDy brought the gas and tubes that kept Ross on the road Leaving me having to do the strachur to Dunoon run on a slowly deflating rear tyre. I should get some kudos folks!!!

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

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

or did you all bail out?

A good run. Miles go much quicker when you are with someone!
Rain didn't come to much.
Bowfield Neilston Craigton Road STewarton Kilwinning   48 miles.
Legs tired at the end after yesterdays run.
Len, thanks for keeping me going when my legs said otherwise!

After some research I discovered that the Clachan Inn in St Johns of Dalry sells real ale! Also does meals.

A plethora of Wheelers this morning!
Walking dog up track towards Kilbirnie and saw Mark O' on his way back from Irvine. Stopped for chat.
5 minutes later Billy and George thundering down the track -  stopped for a quick chat.

Hi, Graham,
I am interested. I am semi-retired now and don't work Thursday/Friday
I won a CAMRA competition and had a free weekend at the Steam Packet Inn in Isle of Whithorn - nice area.
Would we cycle down from Ayr?
Club used to have an Ayr to Newton Stewart run a few years ago. It was a 100 mile round trip.
Nice route.

Yes - a really good run today. Stayed dry and 12 C - excellent.
Good cafe stop and good chat
After Chung parted company in Milngarvie we regained Campbell.
Left McG at the bridge and then headed down GT road with me and Campbell doing a 2-Up into the wind.
Left C at Crosslee then had the usual grind back to LW into the wind.
TBH wind was not as bad as foreecast.
Legs felt fine and 66 miles in the bank.
 
Ritchie - you should have made the effort!
