Anthony, Andy, Dave and Carol left clubrooms at 9.30 and made good progress to Largs arriving at Bagel Basket before 11.00am. Teas, coffees and scones were taken and we were joined by Ian's McGinty and Couttie for a bit. Headed up Brisbane Glen into a headwind which just got stronger the further we went. Sun was out though and the landscape almost  takes the pain away. Anthony headed up Kilmacolm Road at the church and the three of us decided to try the cyclepath to avoid getting higher and avoiding more hills. Bit of a mistake as part of the cyclepath was closed and division took us up and down parts of deepest Greenock never seen before and probably ended up doing more overall elevation much to Carols annoyance !!
Eventually came out at top of Clune and then headwind back to Kilmacolm and track to Crosslee. Thanks to the guys for the company and will probably make it a 9.00am start next week.

Split up after cafe with Boyd,Ian,Paul and Dave heading along track to Kilburnie and then on through Beith and up past Beith Golf Club which is a bit of a pull. Greenacres and then down Bowfield hill. Thanks for the company and another dry day on the bike.

Thanks to all today for the company and to Paul for taking us back the coast route. There is nothing to beat the views over the Firth of Clyde on a sunny day. Well done to Morna for sticking with it as her first run out with the Joansin for a while. More of same for next week please. Dave

Weather looking dry this weekend so planning to head to Dairy for coffee stop and cheese jokes.
 
Route : along track to Kilburnie, Glengarnock, Highfield, Auchentiber, Bloak Road to Dairy.
Steady 30 miler pace and regroup at hills. Suitable for newbies and oldies.
 
Can we meet at clubrooms at 9:15am and remember clocks go forward to BST.
 
Dave

Thanks to Ian and Alan for timekeeping and holding and a big well done to Anthony and Alex for their first TTs. Alex a bit unlucky with the mechanical that ended his effort on the second lap, but flying on the first one. And finally, a number of PBS all round on a slightly murky, cool day. Well done all.

Thanks to Alan T for organising and Ginty and Alan for starting and timekeeping. First time on the TT bike in anger so a lot to learn. Like tighten handlebar bolts...
 
DNF for me. Well done to everyone else. Cracking wee route, and the bit I did I enjoyed.
 
Oh, and thanks to Ginty for the pre-ride entertainment in the form of car in muddy ditch removal challenge!

Great turnout today by the Wheelers and thanks go to Alan McLean for Captain of the 9.00am bunch, Billy and Ian for the prizegiving and Alan T for setting them up. Jann for the catering and to all the prizewinners. We really are a great club.  Dave & Carol.
P.S. Carol has set down a marker for Paul L's Hammock award as she crashed into a bollard at Cameron House after first shouting out a warning of "Bollards ahead"   dohh

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
