Room in the car Paul ???? You up for it

The accomodation we have booked has room for up to 40 people, so we have plenty of spare room

So
ferry for a car for 4 adults with cabin  - £524 = 131 per head
digs 90
entry 50 eiro
 fuel 200 = 50 per head
so roughly 321 excluding food and beer money
fairly accurate but not exact.....
for 4 traveling just need to check the height of car isn’t over 2.4meter with bikes on

Family stuff this Sunday and loaded with flu after last Sunday, not good 

Gortex shakedry rain jacket!! Excelente!

Despite the rain, which I absolutely hate, today was decent.  I couldn't decide whether or not I wanted to stop at BB as was wary my fingers and feet were going numb so figured it'd be best to head straight up the road before it got any worse.  Sure enough my face started numbing up on the way back passed Kilbirnie as it seems the temperature got a degree or two colder at that point (I have a wee bit of nerve damage so this tends to happen when its cold and wet) so I could barely speak clearly . Was nice and dry after that though, but still bloody freezing!  My feet were still numb in the bath
Roll on the drum up!  Long range forecast looks OK, lets hope it stays like that  
 

Don’t be silly Davie!
I somehow enjoyed it ...... :-) like I said to you earlier, sometimes it’s refreshing to pedal in complete wetness :-)
If you want to feel less guilty, then come with us to the Drum-up next Sunday, I’ll promise you sunshine!
Thanks for the run & company today gents ......... and Andy’s large banana :-)
Cheers

cold and wet, not the best day to be out with only a gabba short sleeve top but to be fair it did the trick until the coastal run to Largs and was only cold for a short time. Was perished in the B basket so getting back on the bike was a bit of a relief. Worse than the weather were the drivers along the coast road..beyond bonkers and a reminder of why I generally stick to back roads.
 
Chung hope you did not suffer too much with the extra miles involved in getting back home and felt a wee bit guilty dragging you so far out. Another reminder to ignore BBC weather.
 
 

I plan to make a return to this cycling malarkey if I can find my mudguards

Thanks for holding me up Charlie 

It’s always been 09:30 in winter, Glen. As winter sets in those coming from further afield would have to ride to Johnstone in the dark if it was any earlier.
I might be out but winter bike is waiting on wheels coming so would be on summer steed.

Cracking ride today. Weather was glorious & good bunch of Wheelers

Loved that.  Great bunch!  Have now paid my subs and joined the club.  
Thanks for that today guys.  Now, need to try and source some kit - I'm wary it's in the process of being changed, but does anyone have any old jerseys or gilets spare (size small) ?

Fecking hard work at times. In fact most of the time.
Cheers for waiting for me at various points, great run and all the better with the buzz of a 77kmh Crow Road descent with only crappy cx cantis at your fingertips. But who wants to slow down on the way to the cafe stop anyway?

Will be there with a creaky bottom bracket

Great run, thanks all!

Absolutely fanrastic day out with the club.  A nice steady pace for most of the way making it a very friendly bunch indeed.  Even the sun was out for us.

Good run legs tired,got a good bit of fitnes to recover. Thanks for the rattle up the hill Gerard.
