Fantastic evening for the Georgetown Road, well done to the newcomers and a big thank you to the time keepers and pusher offererist as it all adds up to my new p.b.

Going to give my first TT a go. See you tonight

By way of contrast the other bunch had a straightforward time, meeting at the bottom of the Clune before sailing on the 0900h ferry with the Cowans, taking our group up to eight ( Carol, David, Paul, Eric, Andrew, Alan, Graham and myself.  We quickly made it past Loch Tarsan on the B836 and then up that climb to regroup.  A steady pace up the A886 on a climb that just never seems to end, before the grin inducing, adrenaline shot of life reaffirmation that is the descent towards Strachur.  Andrews suggestion that we do a chain gang along the side of Loch Eck then kept us going a fair pace and then on to Sheilas Diner.  Jane met us at the diner and we waited and waited for the others and then gave up waiting, went for the ferry (minus Jane and Graham).  After the ferry there was the usual undoing of the morning meetups as we retraced our steps to home and an end to our playtime.

Couldn't believe how bone-chillingly cold it was on rolling out, did not bad still minus TT bike 41:23 first 15 too

Another humdinger.
9 of us had magnificent run up the rest and down hells Glen.
Significant technical issue left an member with previous hammock award riding one legged with crank in back pocket and some pushing from me into Lochgoilhead. Where we started knocking doors trying to get a 10mm Allan key. After some blanks we got superb help from lovely lady who phoned a guy who drove round and we had it sorted in 2 mins. And to cap it all we could not communicate with rest of bunch who had continued up Hells Glen due to no mobile signal.
Then we had a grand wee 2 up where said member had further technical issues which rendered him wee ring only !
Caught up with bunch at Sheila's about 2.30pm.
Said member was on forum just this morning giving Toole A Deserved slagging but how is that for karma working in mysterious ways !?
I don't think we have a double hammock winner but there is some serious competition this season..........
Another brilliant adventure
 

Dry, cold, a very light northerly which always seemed to be in front. Arguably my worst performance of the season so far, with a 39:52, however, it's still a PB, if only because it was my first 15. Hard going this morning.

Good fun apart from the drinking

Thanks to the presenters, food bringers and Paul for organising a fun night of chat and booze. The taxi driver (of 30years) who picked us up stated he had never been that far down Miller St before !! 
Dave

Graham, see you at the Pullman, andrew

Hi Graham,  it's been a while since last years Audax - planning to meet you at the Pullman for 0800

Great cake and lemon tart, great pakora!, great presentations and great movie too. Really enjoyable night, but I may have over-indulged a bit!
 
PaulL - thanks for organising, can I get the presentations and I can link them on the web.

Well done Paul, a good evening.
Thanks for tolerating my Dee Ay speel
