Me, Carol, Morna and maybe Boyd are planning to take the five ferries route starting from Ardrossan on the 9.45am ferry. The route goes from Brodick to Lochranza to Clonaig to Tarbet to Portavadie to Colintraive to Rothesay to Wemyss Bay and is a bit of a classic. Although appox 51miles is hilly in places and an all day trip to include the ferries. Would be suitable for early retired, pensioners, students, teachers etc and anyone on holiday from work like me . Others are welcomed to join us Dave

Easy trip to Dalgarven Mill Meet Miller St at 9.30am Bowfield hill, Rocky Road, Hessilhead Road, Barmill, Auchenmead Road, Jameston back road to Mill Suitable for all. 9.30am start as Mill cafe does not open until 11am Please post if coming Dave

Hi Boyd, can me and Carol get you at The Georgetown bus stop at 9.15am if that is the route you are going. Dave

Morna did make it afterall along with Boyd, Anthony Carol, me and a welcome return by Bill T. Headed uo Bowfield hill to Lugton, Dunlop, Stewarton and then change of plan due to time constraints and windy conditions, went for coffee stop at Rendezvous Cafe in Kilmaurs. Returned via Torranyard, Barmill circuit to Beith and then back along track, with a tailwind and the sun out. Thanks to Boyd for the route and the guys and girls for the company in what was the Real Intermediates group.. Dave

Boyd, Carol and I may be up for this if not too wet first thing.

Was thinking of going with Boyd to Whitelees Windfarm at an easy pace. Could be a 30 miler,intermediate,intermediate.

Good run with the i i i group around the back roads of North Ayrshire. The Dalgarven Mill is very bike friendly and serves cakes and bacon rolls. Thanks for the company guys and girls on a fine warm morning for cycling.

Anyone fancy a shorter route tomorrow. Planning to tag onto the back of the intermediates until Greenacres , then rocky road, Hessilhead, Barmill, Auchenmead, Jameston Moss to Dalgarven Mill for coffee. Clubrooms 9.30am Dave

On holiday this Sunday 11th if someone wants to post a run up in either group...cheers Dave & Carol

suffering from man flu this weekend, so won't be out... Dave

Thanks too Paul for the route today and the rest for the company. Ended up with about 65miles on the clock or is that more than 100k in pre Brexit speak. Dave

I will be there for second attempt and Carol says she may come.

Thanks for the run Paul, and correct decision to cut it short but I actually quite enjoyed it, although not a day for hanging about and luckily no punctures etc. Had to check the calendar when we got home that it is nearly June. Bet your glad you came to Scotland 35yrs ago for this weather. Thanks to the rest for company and chat in coffee stop. Cheers Dave & Carol

Will be at clubrooms + 1

Great run today with all kinds of weather thrown at us over in Cowal. Sun, rain,winds and steep climbs. Four of us made the ferry crossing. Alan Fox, Elaine, me and newbie Alan who done really well on his first run out with a club. After Gendaruel decent decided to chance going into the Strachur cafe as it was nearly empty. Must be new owners here as they were surprisingly cycle friendly. After ferry crossing made our way up whin brae and Kilmacolm Road to Gateside Rd where Elaine met up with Ramsay to return to Beith for another 100 miles on the clock. Thanks to Alan Fox for providing most of the work at the front. Dave

Forecast a bit mixed for Sunday but if ok plan to head to Argyll. 9.00am Clubrooms Miller St to head along track to Clune Brae and round coast to McInroys point for 10.30am Western Ferry to Hunters Quay. Options for others to meet at ferry for 10.30. Buy tickets in Paul's grocers in Gourock Main Street as much cheaper. After ferry turn right and head for Loch Tarsan,Glendaruel, Strachur, Lock Eck and coffee stop at Sheila's Diner..Argyll loop is approx 47 miles Return to Ferry and retrace route up Clune or option of train if flagging !! Please post if coming out Dave

Does he have a license to pedal.

Yes, good day out on the bike. Good weather and good company and no mishaps unless you count four sheep being sheparded back into their field outside Stewarton after a night out on the road !! Thanks again guys and girls. Dave

Echo above thanks for food and talk. Dave
