Great run today, with 13 eventually at Croftamie when Kenny and Jerry joined us. Well done to Donald on his first bunch run with the Wheelers and the new cafe stop at the But n Ben passed the test with flying colours 

Change of route today to avoid the high ground and the rain and mist, but it never worked.
Route was ,Elderslie Main road to Paisley, Inchinnan Road past airport and onto new cycle path and bridge, Inchinnan. Erskine,  through Bishopton and past Equestrian Centre, 
Houston Village to Bridge of Weir. Torr Road to Quarriers to Kilmacolm to cycle track  back to start. Just over 30 miles in showers.
Couple of newbies on their  first run out with the group. Will try and arrange sun for next week. Well done today.

Great run yesterday. 70miles and plenty of hills. Great  cafe stop and great bunch. Cheers Chung.

Found this new run off at Bridge of Weir cycle track when out walking today.
Torr road/ Horsewood road exit/entrance

I am planning to take part tomorrow if there are enough going.

Good run today with a mixture of jets, coaches,  30 milers and newbie Gareth on his first bunch run. 13 in total and made it to Irvine and back in the dry. Thanks for the company guys and gals..

Chung, you could have taken Pippa around these local roads and then had the full breakfast in Bernie's.

Should be frost free but maybe wet.
Clubrooms Miller St Johnstone at 9.30 am for 30/40 miles possibly to Dunlop Dairy for Coffee.
Route can be agreed on day.
All welcome at usual sensible pace.
 
 
 

The Cowans planning to attend

Good run today over roads not been on for a while. Charlie you missed superb scones and empire biscuits. 

Heading for a circuit of Arran this Sunday.
Planning for 9.45am ferry at Ardrossan but need to arrive for 9am to guarantee bike boarding as booking not available. 
So, leaving clubrooms at 7.30am for those cycling down. Cycle track to Kilbirnie, Dalry, Saltcoats,ferry.
Arran circuit is 56miles and down and back is about 45miles. Train options available,  but think there is a rail strike planned. What can possibly go wrong.!!

Martin,  you missed two more puncture to Gary's front wheel before Lochwinnoch. He had to walk to the station but I believe he has now found the culprit.  A piece of flint or glass...these things happen in cycling. Good day nevertheless. 

Ian, Carol says it's ok to use the group photo.

Great summary Chung. This was probably the shortest run we have done this year, but one of the lumpyist and it seemed longer. Mixture of road surfaces and different lanes always keeps it interesting.  Thanks for the company as usual and 4 of us sneaked in a post ride recovery refreshment in  Amarettos on the way home.
