Think this is it. Don't try opening it on your mobile though, doesn't work very well. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1012137

9:30 is good for me if you'd rather?

Yeah, that run would be good. What time we meeting?

Any plans this week Alan?

No coffee for me! Just an equally lovely tailwind back to the cloch, then turned westward... Small ring on the decent into Kilmalcolm! Cycle track from then on to home! Cheers for the company, didn't think I was going to stop coming down the haylie so didn't fancy the Fairlie moor, pretty technical decent from memory! Live to fight another day!

Yaaassss! I'm in too!

So 9 at morrisons then? Is there a route decided yet billy?

I'm joining Alan for a North side soaking with some hills thrown in for good measure.

If no one's keen then I'll join you Allan.

Is anyone planning on going out?

Might come out to play on Monday, will let you know when I see a weather forecast!

Cheers guys! Have to thank Charlie for dragging me home after a surprisingly early self destruction. Was too strong for me to hold his wheel even into a headwind! And Alan looks like he's out for the overall win in liege! Unbelievable ride - so powerful he keeps breaking his bike!

Alan with his new found climbing legs! Don't know if I want to be in amongst all the big boys at the moment! And the forecast I saw wasn't quite so optimistic as Paul's! But I love punishment!

Would love to do it but took some serious punishment today and need to see how my legs respond - climbs are no longer my friend (unless they're within the first 60km)

Charlie is coming and needs to be back or 3, so if you need to cut it short you've got a buddy.

Don't know if I want to thank you for that, but saying as very one else is, cheers billy! Sure it will do me some good!

Cafe stop in arrochar after 50 miles if that helps you work things out. I've never been over there before so I have no idea.

10:30 ferry to Dunoon, lots of hills, 100 miles and home. I don't know the details sorry.

Alan and I are out tomorrow if anyone is free, very long and very hilly from the sounds of it! 9:20 co-op in bishy if anyone's interested.

Well done guys! Beautiful day in Bristol!

I'll be making a long over due appearance. Club turbo please

Won't be out but make sure you go up station road in langbank if you're looking for gradient, takes you out just past gleddoch, head up to the top then turn left onto galahill road - also very steep, follow that to the end then head up west glen road into Kilmalcolm.

Well done guys, I'm itching for another shot!

That is missing out in some miles Paul! The coach won't allow it! My knee is still sore so won't be out this week and am down in Bristol next week so next time you see me I'll probably be a fellow fatty.

Sounds good! Where's "the wall"?
