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.

I'm in!

Jaki, Karen, ross, Joe and myself heading down to largs via the Brisbane glen road. quick stop at the bagel basket and back along the coast road. We passed the main bunch just outside largs and then had 4 unscheduled stops. 1 for a puncture and 3 for services at war memorials, at wemyss bay, inverkip and gourock. We all removed our helmets at gourock and inverkip as a mark of respect.
A very wet but enjoyable day, with all working at the front.- well done guys

Good temperature for cycling (23 - 24) but very windy.
No need for a winter bike!!

Kenny  I will come along just after  6.30pm.....   Dave

As always - I'm in

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.

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.

Hi Graeme, the intermediate paces average about 16-18mph but it can vary. In a bunch you will be pulled along so don't just judge what your solo pace is as  it will be higher in a bunch. Sundays run includes quite a long steep hill out of Helensburgh but we normally regroup at the top of climbs as no one gets left behind. if you are feeling apprehensive, there may be a 30miler group run being posted for this Sunday. which is a slightly slower pace and is usually a good starting point for newbies. Keep an eye on the posts. Cheers Dave
