BoydJohnston got a reaction from GrahamF in Sunday 20th August : Dunlop Dairy
Hope you hjad a good run. I managed 2.7 miles at an average of 6.8 mph with the grandkids this morning - no coffee stop. Normal service resumes next week, hopefully.

A good day out, but not quite what was planned. Four of us pushed hard to get up to Lochranza in time for the ferry, only to find that the ferry had broken down and a replacement was going to take some time to get there (if it ever did), so we decided to carry on round Arran. We stopped at Shiskine Golf Club for a good lunch and some relief from the southerly breeze, before heading back round to Brodick.
The one good point was that Calmac took our complaint on board - they should not have sold us Five Ferries tickets at Ardrossan because the Lochranza ferry had broken down the previous day - since they refunded the tickets and gave us complimentary tickets to get back to Ardrossan, which paid for a beer at Brodick golf club before we left the island.

Lovely run today, apart from one small problem - my Garmin ran out of battery before I got home so I lost a few miles, but certainly over 60 completed - probably nearer 65.
No damage done from coming off apart from a small bruise on the palm of the hand that Carol did not stand on - which gives me an excuse in case I lose my golf tie tomorrow :twisted leer . The bike's fine too. My theory about helmets making your head hit the road harder has also been proven.
Hope Morna's not too sore tonight after two of us landing on top of her.

Hi Boyd quite fancy coming along just doing a steady pace too.

Good solid ride at a steady pace. Shame about the rain - you know you're in trouble when you can't see the tops of the turbines at the Wind Farm. But £4 for a bacon roll, coffee and a scone - can't be beaten. Only 45 miles for me, but I was probably in the shower warming up again before Graham got to Brookfield.

I'll be at the clubrooms for 9:30 for an easy run. Was thinking of visiting the wind farm on Eaglesham Moor, but open to other suggestions depending on who is out.
