Tick that one off.

Too easy!

This is an easy one to get to.

Weather station outside Bishopton?

This is where I will be taking all of mine now.  I did try repairing a whole load a while back and it did not work out.

I know exactly where this is

p.s. My photo is Blair Road in Kilwinning 

I am curious to see this ‘ruin’.

As a clue...I think it may be the closest of the mystery locations to you so far!

I know it is nearby from the background, but the location of the specific spot is really frustrating me.

I’m not sure where George’s is. That can be the bonus round for anyone that gets it!

This is quite difficult to place.

Too easy, next time I should be more obscure.

top of stone throw. I know I should go there but on the wine as it’s my birthday. Will have another excuse tomorrow 

Hope you are having a nice birthday.

Gerard that may be easy to identify but if I'm right it's hard work to get there!

I need the hills.

This should be an easy one.

Is it the entrance to Lawpark farm?

Did like the route today, made the best use of our fresh legs at the start and let us have an easier time on the way back.  Need to get fitter though.

Should we now encourage others to take one for the team!

 Now I have to spend additional time with my family, there are good reasons for cycling.

I can push off if no one else can, we can finish a good 20minutes earlier if I do.

Good to have our life choices confirmed as better for us.  I have had a couple of A&E visits after commuting in so does this mean I will be okay for a few more years?

A wet start to the day, but it is expected to brighten later.  Meeting at the club rooms at 1000 to get the better weather for a magical mystery tour.  Starting out by heading up Auchenlodment Road, take things from there based who turns up.  No crazy speeds or mega miles, good for those wanting to be out again and a gentle run for those who have been getting out.

I hope to be there, I will make everyone else feel fit and fast.

Payment sent, spent over an hour at the bank while I was gently guided through setting up the banking app so I could pay.  Leg me know when I can collect.

Sunday 26 January

Forecast to be milder than the weekend past so looking for a good show.

0930 at the clubrooms and stick with the main bunch along the Georgetown Road.  Up the drag into Erskine and we can allow the groups to splinter off.  After that head across the bridge and head for Khyber pass behind Mugdock and drop down into Strathblane.  Take the left back over the hill to Carbeth and on to Croftamie and the back roads over to Jamestown.  A choice of cafe stops open up and can be decided on the day.  Thereafter the usual route back over the bridge.  Roughly 50ish miles.

I know I will be working so a ride captain will be needed, mainly for knowing the route.

Meeting 0930 at the clubrooms for a wee ride down to Eglington CP.  This time it will not be dicey icey, but nicey.  About 45 miles at a pace to suit all.

Looking out for all of the magnificent Wheelers to join the Intermediate group.

0930 at the clubrooms, track down to Kilbirnie, Auchengree road, Dalry and onto the cafe at Eglington Country Park.  A straightforward return with a tailwind along Lochlibo to Lugton and on to Howwood.

Around 45 miles, plus your commute to the clubrooms at a pace to suit everyone.

I have become inexplicably excited.

It was a lovely ride, just the right thing for the day.  Hope to be out more in the new year.
