  1. I second Greig's post. Thanks guys.

     

    Also thanks to AllanM for dragging me round.

     

    Not at all Ian, it was a team effort and not bad for a first attempt. If we get a bit better at the changing routine, more than twice between the start and the roundabout!!! then I'm sure we'll improve. Hopefully go again next Tuesday.

  2. Very enjoyable run with Andrew and Elaine. 65 miles to Dalry, West Kilbride, Largs and back via Brisbane Glen and Old Greenock Road.

     

    Bit wet for the first 64 miles, very mild and no wind. Two out of three ain't bad.

     

    Andrew treated us to coffee and cakes. In return we listened (nervously) to his stories of good looking guys, wigs and Alice bands!

  3. Hi Greig, we met on one (or two) of the Reliability runs and I’ve been out with a few of the Wheelers since then. I'm keen to take part in more Sunday runs but this weekend I’m doing the Tour o’ the Borders in Peebles.

  4. Enjoyed the run today guys, at least as much as I could manage!

     

    Charlie & Billy’s efforts from Inverkip leading us to Largs was impressive as was the disdain they showed to their fellow riders who rather sheepishly sprinted past them at the end.

     

    I knew in the café that I’d struggle to keep to the pace on the way back and the plan to speed up to West Kilbride sounded ambitious. When I’d lost the last wheel before Hunterston I decided to head over Fairley Moor. The combination of a steep hill and headwind allowed me to go at a suitably slow pace without feeling too bad about myself!

     

    I understand from McGinty that Charlie came back to look for me. Apologies Charlie but I couldn’t get close enough to the bunch to tell you I was taking a diversion.

     

    Cheers

  5. Hi Chung

     

    Great route today, thanks for organising and thanks to everyone else for their company.

     

    The craic along the way was good and doing the Crow Road in such benign conditions was almost a pleasure…almost! As was seeing Bill’s bluenose turn red!

     

    There is a simple reason why some of us stick to coffee and a scone… 20kg difference between your skinny frame and us big boys...or 40g difference in the case of young Mark!

     

    Bill, Campbell and I choose the Hardgate overpass rather than Kilbowie roundabout. Our lead evaporated however when I punctured in Erskine!

     

    Cheers

    Big Al
