wet wet wet. Good sized bunch for the new year including three Carols. Run was cut short at Cairn cafe where we blethered for about an hour. Most then headed home from there and me Carol C intended to accompany Graham and Gerard over Houston Road but took a wrong turn and ended up at Kilmacolm Golf club clubhouse. Sorry guys. Dave Planning to set up a whatsApp thread for 30 milers and other bunch runs. More details to follow.

Happy New Year Easy paced 30-40 miles to get the new year started, around some local roads but the reverse of the usual routes. Leave Clubrooms 9.30am Miller Street, Johnstone. Cycle track to Bridge of Weir, Torr Road to Gateside, Auchenfoyle Rd to Auchentiber to kilmacolm. West Glen Road to Houston & Bridge of Weir for coffee.

Forecast looks like wet and stormy...so probably a day for the turbo/spin class. Will post up if forecast improves nearer time though. Dave

Although it is likely to be a dry sunny day tomorrow, it will just be too cold for me first thing. If anyone is more willing to face the chill, then please post up if looking to go out. Cheers Dave

yes, good safe run today by avoiding back roads of ice and no 30 sign mishaps this week. Dave
