Good morning 
Yes I have walked it a good few years back now.  Lovely walk however I found it a little boring compared to the WHW.

A friend gave me these when I started cycling...I found them interesting hope you do too😁

Could be up for this.

This is interesting reading, very much on the pulse.  We are a great club with lots going on and this needs to be communicated, it is why we are members.  We all love cycling and we are busy people (so many Strava segments) and this will always have people collectively seeking convenience. Right now I use a WhatsApp group to organise my Tuesday runs, it works well.  But I have become aware that it is not in the spirit of the club so I will be posting my runs back on the Bunch as well, where all club members can view and participate.  I am open to progress in the future, if needed, so let’s have the discussion to find out what people feel they need to get the most from the club.

I’m off work that week so will be about if anyone is looking for company.

I’m not sure this is the appropriate forum  for this sort of thing.... 😂 swipe left....
 

Her dad is also a Johnstone wheeler. You can tell him direct at the prize giving this Friday 

Anthony I could listen to your voice all day.  
Your voice should be the hold when you phone up a company.. I read Katie Archibalds recent article her Dad made his daughter listen to Fleetwood Mac as hold music.  He should have been reported to the social services.
Many thanks for today some lovely little hills.

I would recommend dong the 179km route, On the long route the first 50km is riding on cycle tracks(2 abreast with traffic calming)/main roads escorted by police motorbikes in the dark. You have to leave about 4am? to cycle to bus then have 1-2 hours coach to start, done this twice and probably the worse two hours on a bike, followed by 179km of perfection. Skip the bull and enjoy the real route.  

Booked so excited
Christmas has come early.

 
 
 
 

That’s us swapped to the 174km event. Decided against the 4am start and trek to Antwerp! 

You don’t have to go to bed the night before 🕺🍺

Yes I  want to go I cannot miss this one.   Chung  has advised me to learn to swear in Flemish.   Also advice on the Koppenberg??? I thought that was a cider.
 Although I  will most definately be singing happy to hire or car share.
Also can someone tell me how I book accomodation?
All help much appreciated and Thank You Chung for the words of wisdom.

Good run today Linda, Tommy, Graham , Dave and myself toured elderslie , beith, lochwinnoch, port Glasgow thru Houston and back to the clubhouse, strong headwind slowed us down but all in all it was great company and good to be out.

Stuff I had to do this morning is pretty much done now, so heading out around 1.  Same meeting place.

Still rain forecast for tomorrow so hilly langbank for me. You are all welcome to join me

Thanks, but probably staying local area Renfrewshire, Inverclyde, Ayrshire area

Charlie you have me singing....my desire is to be here...I meant there ..
I am in ..

Ok guys, fess up, youse are just envious that I am one of only two people on the Planet to have done the DA😁😁

 

I agree. Some of his previous Arran excursions have been mired in controversy. Allegations (made by me) of illegal pacing, taxis, e-bikes and bribing cal-mac employees have left him with little credibility (in my eyes) he’s pure shady.

I will run the book  ...anymore bets ? 

 

If anyone is running a book I'm good for a tenner Paul won't make it. He's going to need Galeb and Richie at least. 

Contrary to my post title - I managed NOT to get a soaking after all 🙂
Being Johnny-no-mates for the day, I opted to start from Glasgow instead of heading for the Bridge.
Got to jump on a Bunch of "Lomond Roads" coming into Milngarvie, after introducing myself to them, I slotted into the group seamlessly since our Club colour are pretty much the same ........ very friendly Bunch of cyclist so they are 🙂
Pretty much got dropped off by them at the door step of Aberfoyle where upon it seems every cyclist in the Glasgow area was there, including Iain McTarvish & Jess. Got there so early that we sat OUTSIDE in the sun for more than an hour waiting for the Peloton to arrive - ETA 12.10noon. It was all good weather wise up till that point, but just as we were about to head up the Duke's, the heavens opened but luckily for me, I took shelter underneath a porch & stayed dry, while most must have got drenched up on the climb.
Waited for the convoy & then the Race Peloton to pass, everyone (especially the Police Moto riders) look cheering & enjoying themselves, well, apart from the Riders :-)
Then back down the climb & a detour with Big Ronnie Chard over the Lake of Monteith & another cafe stop in Kippon, then the Crow & home without getting wet at all. In fact, it was pretty hot later on the day, strange weather indeed!
End up being a really nice day on the bike for me, loved it!
Cheers
