Andy,

will roll out towards Dalry at 0900hrs presumably meet you somewhere on the road then double back to meet the bunch who should still be on the track...what could possibly go wrong........

Can’t imagine anything can go wrong at all see you somewhere on the road between Kilbirnie and Dalry!

I was very sorry not to be there today. 

Andy

Nice route Darryl! Will join you Sunday! 

DavieB what’s your plans for meeting the bunch?

Hi Glen

thank you so much for organising this. I’ve emailed a few photos over. Arran and Ayrshire Alps 2016. I’m afraid I will not be back next week for funeral but will be raising a glass and having a rather large breakfast in honour. 

Andy

One of the finest moments. The day Darryl went down on Arran (sorry D). Alex and I encountered a brand new breed to us. Cockerpoos! Alex went out and got one the very next day. For anyone who follows his Instagram see many pics of Ziggy. Anyway my point is Alex didn’t feck about. He went out there and grabbed life by the baws. May he long be an example to us all!

so so sad tonight

I’m so very sorry to read this news. Like others I only knew Alex on the bike. He was a massive character solid to the core, a strong rider, and always good humoured and could fairly pack away a couple of big breakfasts too! I’ve very much missed his company on the bike and will continue to. 

Me too

Charlie

this looks like a great route and I suspect that after the exertions of the Munt, the Bison will want to invite us to his ranch for a big breakfast and freshly brewed coffee before we take on the Geniffer Braes. 

Hope to make it if other plans haven’t been made for me

Hi George

Thats a seriously impressive face off with the road. Looking at the damage my bet is you’re going to be better looking for it. Recover well pal! 

Andy

Planning to be there but there’s a mad gusting easterly wind

Thanks for the wheels folks. 

I second that. Great to be out in a the JWCC Thursday Bunch again

Hopefully

Plan to be there. See you at bottom of the bowfield 

Think your road assessment clinches it Glen! 

Good luck Robbie!! 

Hope to be out tomorrow and meet you at bottom of bow field at 0945

Wishing you a speedy recovery Darryl. 

Unfortunately working tomorrow so wont be out. Have a fun reliability all !

andy

Well done guys. It’s another epic Arran tale! The legend grows every year! 

Great bunch run today. Really great to catch up with folk and meet Rachid and Glen too. See you for #4

Now planning to cycle in tomorrow to meet 0930 Bunch at Morrisons so no chocolateyloveliness from me tomorrow. Hope this is enough notice to get over the bad news. 

In fairness I plan to rectify this injustice for Reliability #4

Good luck tomorrow Paul and Galeb. I really wish I had the legs for it to join you guys

0930 for me. Will bring something chocolatey 

Well done guys. I stayed local and headed down to the cx in Irvine. Was really lucky with weather full sun until Lochlibo Road where I got caught in a blizzard. Then the sun came back so not so bad in the end except I couldn’t feel toes or fingers :-D

General consensus seems to be against so will stay local today. Let’s hope next week brings sun!

What’s the plan for tomorrow? I was planning to join the 0930 group (if there is one) at the bottom of bowfield as cycling up from West Kilbride.
