How about heading up Rannoch Road off Beith Road to arrive at Lapwing Lodge up a good climb to warm us up if a bit chilly.

Can head towards Lugton, then Gateside, Hessilhead road to Barmill, Auchenmead Farm and turn right for Highfield, Kilbirnie and then track to Lochwinnoch for a coffee stop at Castle Semple  or possibly carry on to Kilmacolm via Johnshill for coffee..

Please post if coming out.

Dave

Due to illness and wet forecast for Sunday, we are unlikely to be out this weekend but please feel free to post up a run if you are looking to go out.

Dave & Carol

Alan, well done on the listings. I would agree with Grahame and hold the 2up  championship on the 3rd practice Tuesday night this year and monitor for future.

Cheers  Dave

Good run today with 10 leaving Miller St and making our way to Stewarton to meet up with Jane  and Grahame at Jacks Cafe, but as things turned out we missed each other. First time in this cafe and it was full of cyclists and is bike friendly. Group split on way home with majority retracing our route with a tailwind and through mist and gloom but a good run back to Miller Street. Thanks for the company guys and girls and hopefully more of the same next week.

Dave & Carol

Guys... just checked the Dairy website and it is closed until 15th January. Can try Rendezvous Cafe in Kilmaurs which is a few miles further on.

Dave 

Happy New Year to all cyclists old and new.

Planning steady run to Dairy via Bowfield hill, Lugton, Dunlop and on to Dairy just before Stewarton. Options for return,

Cheese jokes not compulsory.

Thanks to Anthony & Andy for yesterdays run in what turned out to be a damp and driech morning but enjoyable all the same. We made it to the Mill along part of the Barmill circuit route but the surface has not improved. Coffee and cakes were taken in the cafe and then home via Highfield, Glengarnock and then the cycle track at a brisk pace with a slight tailwind. The new winter jacket got its first soaking but coped well and is a great piece of kit.

Dave 

If dry weather planning to revisit Dalgarven Mill as per  run in October.

Vary route slightly

Clubrooms 9.30am ...track to Kilbirnie, industrial estate, lumpy road to Highfield, Auchenmead farm, Kilwinning Road and turn off at Moss Road to reach Dalgarven Mill for Coffee stop. Options on return route.

Please post up if coming...you know you want to.

Dave

Thanks for the company today and to Andy for helping to sort my puncture. 

To continue the cheese jokes from the Dairy, what hotel do mice stay in.....the Stilton.

Thanks to everyone who turned up last night for cocktails and beers and general cycle chat. 4+ hours just flies by when in good company.

Sorry neither of us can make it this weekend. Carol & Dave.

Group of seven left clubrooms, Jaki, Kaz,Eric,Alan,Anthony,Graeme & Dave. Felt like a headwind most of the way to Helensburgh but views and light was good. Anthony left us here and the rest headed up Sinclair Street and made good progress to Balloch and Corrie Cafe for rolls, eggs and coffee and then more coffee.The girls left first  with the plan for the rest of us to catch them up but despite a fast chase we could not catch them. Thanks for the company.

Dave

Hi Everyone

Thought we could have a wee social night in Amaretto much the same as before for drinks  and chat and if anyone 

wants food then that would be fine too.

Post up if interested in coming along.

Carol
