What a lovely day for The 3 Ferries! Thanks so much David - a great route,  on a perfect day! Stunning views and lovely company. Mary. 

Hey Elaine, I'm hoping to make it out on Sunday. Stewarton High Street (part of it) is closed for the next several months, and Aurs Road (joining Barrhead and Netwon Mearns) is closed this month also. Not sure if these are on your route, but heads-up just in case.

Really enjoyed this and thanks for all the encouragement 😊

Thanks for posting this ride Elaine, it turned out to be a good day out, with teaming with the fast bunch nine of us went over the crow and enjoyed a cafe stop afterwards.  Only one shower in a mainly dry day.
I'm looking forward to more Intermediate rides over the season.

Glasgow to Barcelona would be a good one.  Then ferry to Ibiza for a cycle round the island followed by a wee rave. Wouldn't be cycling back though 

Pretty horrible out there today. Just Colin and me, 34 miles and 2800 feet of climbing, headwinds, rain. Called it short at Howwood, and went for beer.

Well done folks. Sounds like you did the Wheelers proud on a tough course

I should be able to make it along for a ride

Hi guys, heads up-there are traffic lights on Aurs Road (on the hill) at the junction with Springhill Road. 

Yes, I think it was. I've deleted some messages.

I'm going to turbo it this morning. If only I could attach crankset and handlebars to the radiator 

Aiming to be out with the 09.30 group. Won't be a race Karen. Hopefully the group will stick together, even on the ascents and ensure no one limps back to Miller Street on their own.
Fully expect the 09.45 group to make the catch somewhere between Kilmalcolm and Lochwinnoch. 

It all started with 7 heading out of Miller Street, but by the time we got to the top of the Braes, only 5 left :-0
So, Andrew, David, Mark, Martin & myself carried on with David's original posted route, only for his Garmin to totally failed & end up we just kind of making it up as we went along. We had to be very mindful of the ice on a lot of the back roads that we were going through, well at least it was quiet :-)
Cafe stop in Stewarton - Mill House & Mark departed to head home afterwards while the 4 of us went searching for more headwind! By the way, tail wind is over hyped & so last year :-)
No mechanical to speak of as we all maintain our bikes properly in this group :-)
Made it home with my legs just about intact, just polished off a plate of Fish & Chips, oven baked of course, none of that fry stuff, I am an athlete after all! :-)
Looking forward to the 1st Reliability next Sunday & thanks for the wheels & company today folks!
Cheers
Chung

Lots of current and ex Glasgow track league riders involved tonight
 

Sounds good! Could post this as an intermediate ride, given the distance.

Terribly sad news. Any time I met Alex he was always kind and smiling, and I don't think I had a single conversation with him during which he didn't make me laugh. He was a pleasure to be around. Rest in peace friend, may your kindness inspire kindness in others and your smile always be remembered. Could you pass my condolences on to Alex's family Glen? I plan to attend the crematorium, possibly Amaretto. 

Haha! No, but if I was doing more cycling I would be looking at it Darryl :-)

Sorry Andy, I won't be able to help out as I'll be away that weekend.

Sorry for the no-show guys. This working malarkey detracts from the cycling malarkey :-S Hope you have a good run.

Sounds like brilliant fun Gerard, I'm up for this! Is it the circuit round Arran or Figure of 8?

The Rapha Women's 100 takes place this year on the 23rd July. I did it last year and met some lovely folk with great chat. This year there are two rides leaving from Newton Mearns, an intermediate and an advanced.
 
The organiser is Karly Millar from Glasgow Green CC, and I've had the pleasure of her company on a couple of Rapha rides she's organised. I'm hoping to do the 100K again this year, company always welcome.
