2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted May 14, 2018 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 How about the classic Dunoon run? Across the bridge; Helensburgh; Arrochar; The Rest; Strachur, lunch a Sheila’s Diner; Hunters Quay; Home via the Clune; optional refreshments at Amaretto; Home. Roughly 100 miles all in and not too difficult. Thinking possibly a bit earlier because of the mileage: 8.15 at clubrooms; 9.00 at the bridge. Post if coming. chung 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted May 14, 2018 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Did this on Saturday, scenery was stunning. Most of Loch Long resurfaced as well.

2023 Subscriptions George Posted May 14, 2018 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Did someone mention Sheila’s diner? Forecast is good so might even get to sit outside and soak up some passive fag smoke from those rough biker types. PaulL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Committee Alan McLean Posted May 15, 2018 Committee Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Working. But may I be the 85th person to point out that we rode this on Saturday under blue skies and I fell in love with argyll all over again. As well as breaking etiquette by posting my non attendance I'll also point out that it is much nicer to reach loch long via Balloch, duck bay and Glen Fruin than the road through Helensburgh. Martin, you will not need to bail out because your mates will get you home. That is why we are a club. chung, martin and charlie p 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted May 15, 2018 Author 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 All valid points re route and deviations. For this run - perhaps the first 100 miler this year for some ( me certainly) - I’m inclined to stick to the ‘classic’ route, which means going through Helensburgh up the new Whistlefield etc. My reasoning is that it is easier for the group to function as a group because it isn’t too challenging terrain and there are good roads for two abreast riding. If we keep this up, then longer and/or more challenging rides can be tackled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Iain67 Posted May 15, 2018 Members Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 hope to make it on Sunday and a classic route Darryl. Did the old rest road with McGinty few weeks back, less traffic and steeper at the end. What's not to like? Darryl Gunson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted May 19, 2018 Author 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Just bumping this thread. 8.15 at the club for 9 at the bridge. 100 miles of steady riding with the Rest and Be Thankful being the only major obstacle. Lunch stop and a ferry ride included. What’s not to like? See y’all tomorrow chung and Richard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John C Posted May 19, 2018 Members Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Dose of summer man flu at the moment and supposed to be off to a party this afternoon but will hopefully be at the bridge at 9.
