Paul C

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.

Who's in?

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

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.

Excellent idea! Allows all groups to meet up.
I will, of course, be representing the over 60s as a fine example that age is no barrier to exemplary performance on a bike!

Over to the Dark Side!
Glen Fruin with cafe stop in Balloch.
About 62 miles club to club at moderate pace.
9:00 am Miller Street.

ROUTE - see attached file

Combined 30 milers and intermediates bunch (about 16?) set off from Miller St. At the crossroads at Hall the Troon bunch comprising me, Emma, Alan F, Ross, David C, Graham and Len  went on ahead and picked up Chung at Stewarton.
There was no sign of Ritchie!
A brisk dry run to Troon with a cafe stop at the Blueberry.
A brief shower had us huddling in the doorway until it passed (rule no 5 was not enforced!)
Not so lucky later on. As we were passing the MOD depot it started to rain hard and the roads were flooded in places.
A good run nevertheless and I hope those who had further to go survived the downpour!!

That goes without saying Ritchie!!

A really good run. 97 miles - my longest ride for a long time. Last 15 miles a bit of a struggle.
Thanks guys for being patient with me on the climbs and special thanks to Chung for dropping back several times to give me his wheel and Ian C for the tow along the Georgetown Road.
Ian/Chung - going to post up the photo?

Len, here's an image just to make you feel better! 🙂

I'll tag along.
Anyone leaving from Miller st 09:00 or should I just head straight for the bridge?

Lovely weather here! 23 - 26 C with clear blue sky. Some steep climbs here that are murder in the heat! Rented a Corratec CCT Carbon for 3 days - very nice bike.
