Great run out today. Great weather, great company, sensible pace. Cheers for organising Glen.
Well done to new boy Colin, and to Jaki for getting round in the bunch.

Cracking run today with sunshine too!
”Eleven” riders came out to play today - AlanT, Alex, Colin Sales (new member), Gerard, Glen, Iain Couttie, Iain C, Jaki, Tom, Marty & myself formed an orderly Bunch all the way to Kilcreggan with a cafe stop sitting OUTSIDE ...... in October enjoying the food/beverages & the sun of course!
You should see the size of Iain Couttie’s omelette :-) it was the size of me head ..... but it did look delicious though, it must be because it didn’t took him long to finish it :-)
Opted for the more direct route back after Helensburgh, rather than going up Sinclair Street on the return leg, straight down the coast.
Good that we managed to all stayed together until the Bridge whereupon Marty & I headed home via the Westend of Glasgow.
159km by the time I limped home, I’m goosed but a brilliant day on the bike indeed!
Thanks again everyone for the wheels & company!
Cheers
 

Great run, thanks all!

One more for tomorrow -
Kiwi Wheeler - Martin McDonald, coming out with us again after last Sunday’s soaking Hill Climb :-)
If we’re not at the club room, then get youse at the Bridge!
Cheers

Probably meet somewhere between Houston and the bridge.

Plan to be at the Bridge. Will tag along till the legs hit limp home mode..

Yes, weather dependant.

Hi G, I would assume 9am start at club room & 9.40-ish meet at bridge, South side!

Despite the forecast, there was still 5 who met & started at the clubroom this morning - Davie B, David C, Glen, Martin & myself :-)
A rough idea of where we were heading was agreed & we set off in search of quiet back roads lead by Martin - via Bowfield, Lugton (where Davie departed as he was taken it easy after yesterday's Cross race over in Rothsay), Uplawmoor, Stewarton for a café stop, then over to Kilwinning, back on the cycle track at Glengarnock for a ride back to Johnstone!
Strong head wind in most places, lots of debris on the "farm roads" hence the 5 punctures between the 4 of us, everyone had their mis-fortune, that includes me as well 
But that didn't dampen our spirit as even the sun made several brief appearance through-out the day!
A good day on the bike despite the many punctures, some new roads for me & 122km by the time I got home ........ I'm knackered!
Thanks guys for the company & wheels, more of the same please for next Sunday's Whole Club run, looking forward to it!
Cheers

Good run albeit tough with the wind.....and mostly dry. Even made it for hockey
