I would love to join too but fear The Bison might implode if I arrived

Chapeaux to you all!

Yes please. Thanks Jan!

The medium size will be mine ..... hahahahaha (evil laughter and wringing of hands ensues)

May try to join. What's the route?

Sorry not to join the bunch this morning. I left home late this morning having completed post Christmas chores and made largs at 1145 just as Bunch getting settled at Das Bagelhausen. With only 8 miles in my legs decided I did not deserve such happiness and resolved to stop again on my way back later. Plan was scuppered by the failing light. Good to hear Alex out again and spotted Ian Porteous looking far too relaxed in Kilbarchan later on. That was just before my final kicking from Scott Newman all the way to Greenock. Andy

Presuming you guys are going coast road to largs so I'll catch you on your way down to largs

Well so paraphrasing Sean Kelly actually. But never mind it's a great Irish saying all the same!

Absolute disgrace! Great Irish 🀠saying Go out and ride and if it's too wet and cold you'll know when you get back.

Yes I'd be up for meeting the bunch

I can't make it but Darryl promised to connect his FaceTime to a projector so I could join you from the auld country. Have fun everyone and merry Christmas 🎄 Andy

Nice wee run over the largs road to bagelbasket with good patter from Darryl and Billy. Andy

Billy I'll see you along the track around lochwinnoch to Howwood stretch at 1015? Andy

Very enjoyable, good ride, good company and a dirty bike too Wishing everyone a very happy Christmas! Andy

I calculated Bunch was a tad faster this week by 0.1 kph. I think it was definitely better paced overall though

Weather looks fine down here - so may join the no muddies fest

Yes for me. See you on the track to kilbirnie

That was great today - in all likelihood last one of the year for me too unless I get a special pass on Hogmanay. Thought of auchentiber drag and lochlibo road already making me feel a bit sick

Hope do Paul- feeling a tad shredded myself. Looking forward to a friendly Bunch run. Should make lochwinnoch about 0925 or thereabouts

Happy with a sensible pace. On way home from Christmas libations in Glasgow so definitely going to be feeling a tad wrinkly tomorrow

Cheers I enjoyed a wee coffee with Darryl and Coin in Das Bagelhausen. Good craic. Enjoyed the bunch although run into Largs was hell but good to see Joansin dominating the last 5 miles. Overall Bunch was hard going from westferry. Headwind was a factor and initially going through was too slow and being such a large bunch folk were getting cold. The solution to go through faster was good in terms of giving folk a turn at the front but as ever that the produced surges in pace which meant the bunch was very chaotic and unstable. Felt more like a race pace after gourock. Anyways still enjoyed being in a bike in the company of a good bunch. Andy

Heading off to norn iron on 23rd but keen to hear outcome of Fred Whittin discussions

Weather looking fine. Leaving and finishing in WK this week. Plan to be at Red Smiddy or thereabouts at 10am

Planning to join you probably at Bowfield base camp
