Hope to be out if I can get the winter bike sorted; if not may need to be the summer bike and sit at the back (no change there then...) if that is ok with the Faster / Longer Bunch committee. 

Good day out topped off with a few pints half way up Col Du Bishy to end a great year with JWCC.  All the best to everyone for 2019 when it comes.

Up for it

Hope to be there

Not 100% but will try and make it.

DavieB - a trip into the dark side and you aren’t 100% sure.  Thought you’d be leading the charge - lol

Should be there; may need to roll through Largs as need to be back for 1’ish

Down South for Christmas unfortunately.

Away this weekend unfortunately.

Need to be home for 12:30 Sunday so may join you to Dumbarton / Helensburgh and then head back, which is a shame as I love a cycle around Killcreggan.. 

Yes.  

Marriage is overrated anyway.

Flying back from Lanza on the 29th so can’t make that date.  However, go with what works best for everyone and if I can’t make it there’s always next year.

Week before Lanza so I better save my legs otherwise I would have joined you Darryl. Enjoy

I'm flexible with dates.  Would prefer about 4 nights as opposed to a full week but will go with the flow.

I thought I’d pull together an approx. cost for this trip to sell it to the Clark Households' Chief Financial Officer

Flight £250 - Jet2 not including a bike box.

Bike Hire £80 - I think I would go for this option as almost as cheap as paying for a bike box and without the hassle of having to build and dismantle your bike and the risk of damage in transit.

Transport to and from airport £25 - I have based this on getting a bus to collect and return all of us in one vehicle.  Based on 10 people sharing a 16 seat bus with driver, which may be easier than lots of individual cars (and less arguments of who’s gone where and why) and may work out the same price as car hire.

Accommodation £200 - lots of hotels for less than £50 per room pn.  Following the Pyrenees this year, it would be better if we were all in the same place and I’d prefer a room to myself.  Lots of AirBnB for roughly the same price if you wanted to self-cater.

Total approx. cost £555 - not including food and the occasional beverage

Picking Iain McGinty and Carvill up at 4:45 so should be there for just after 5

Just for clarity, that's the Saturday night?

I hope so Alan, as I’ve arranged to be dropped off Saturday tea time 

Can’t make Sunday as daughter at a XC race

Will join you all, maybe not all the way

Well, I may as well pop my Renfra’ Bunch cherry at the weekend and see if I can hang on to the top of the Col D‘Bishy. 

Charlotte is at a race on Sunday so no club ride for me anyway - perfect timing.  Will probably head out Saturday instead.

Up for it

Ditto to what has already been said; just simply a brilliant day.  Agree with Martin that this would make a great ‘whole club run’.

Yes

Up for this.

Very doubtful for me this weekend Chung.
