The first of the 2020  rides on the reliability routes, the Tour of Renfrewshire, 40 miles and only slightly lumpy, is on Sunday 2nd February, as advertised on Strava.
All rides will leave from clubrooms on Miller Street.
Can we have a keyholder available to open the clubrooms prior to the first bunch leaving.
As normal, there will be three bunches with the slower bunch leaving at 9:00am, the second bunch leaving at 9:30am and the fastest bunch at 9:45am.
The route is Clubhouse, Georgetown, Erskine, Bishopton, West Ferry, Clune, The Wall, Lochwinnoch road, then cut off to Howwood and back along the Beith Road. It would be helpful if there was someone in every group who knows the route.

As always, donations of soup, cakes, 5 course banquets with choices of fine wines will be gratefully accepted. Such donations will be served in the clubrooms at the end of the ride, please indicate what you will be bringing in your posting. One contribution per person across the 4 weeks of Reliability rides will mean a hearty snack for all at the end of each ride.
Can we have a non riding volunteer please to heat the soup, etc. for this first week.
If you don't feel ready for the full 40 miles at this stage in the season, don't worry there will be others in the same boat and there are various shorter options available. Just come along and work up an appetite for the soup!
 
I will plan to join the first group out.

Proof, if you ever needed it that the BBC lies. I'm looking out the window at a distinct lack of rain. See you at 11.

I would. Forecast is to be dry at 11. I’ll post up at 10.30 to let you know what I’m doing.

Plan is, yes.

Sounds fine Darryl. 
 
We will go the road to Kilbirnie. That's the only track piece. This allows the wind to push us up the coast.

Thoroughly enjoyed that today, burst by the end. The recovery continues.

Once again, I'll start, but probably bail at Stewarton.

The Loch Katrine road has been closed after some landslides a few months ago, and apparently there is some doubt as to whether it will reopen

Clubhouse, bridge, pipetrack, Loch Katrine, variety of return routes is always good. One for the summer months.

I have attached the schedule of confined events  ( and some open ones) for the coming season. Confined event awards are open to all club members, and are an excellent way to introduce new riders to the mysteries and dark arts of Time Trialing.
This year, I have introduced 2 new courses for the League of 10. One is the Hilly course, and the other the restricted gear course at Gateside. These will be one of events within the league of 10, which will be mostly on the Westferry, as normal.
If you want to give TT-ing a shot, these are the events to try.

I'll come and join in at the start, won't expect to be there at the end.

Cracking way to end a nice day on the bike...

Great run out today. Turned out the BBC lied to us about the weather, as it was dry but cold. Not a huge number of riders out, around 14, which splintered a bit before Bishopton, but the rest of the run was steady and pretty sedate. Refreshments at amaretto's were very welcome.

Could be up for this.
