Life Members chung Posted November 28, 2018 Life Members Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hi All, Just looking at the current weather forecast for Sunday, it doesn't look very promising though However, I still fancy heading for a wee pedal even if a bit damp, maybe not too far from home then. So, was thinking maybe a shorter run - Meet at clubroom for 9.30am, head down to Bishopton via GT road, over to the back roads of Langbank, coming out of top of the Clune, then heads toward & climb "the Wall", back out onto the top of the Whin then head back to Johnstone ......... not really thinking of a cafe stop ( shock bloody horror ) or it depends on how wet it will be. The route is a bit like the 1st Reliability Run really, except avoiding the Westferry part! http://www.mapmyride.com/gb/elderslie-sct/reliability-no-1-tour-of-the-shire-route-1730016 Company welcome! Cheers Chung PaulL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Codg1e Posted November 28, 2018 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Boarding House at Howwood is excellent for a cafe (£2 basic coffee and cake), but only open after 12 in winter. Worth considering chung 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life Members chung Posted December 2, 2018 Author Life Members Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Five of us met at the Clubroom this morning - Alex, John, Martin, Scott & myself set off optimistically looking for the sun :-) Instead we got a constant drizzle throughout, but no matter, the company & the spirit made up for it! Quick cafe stop in Kilmalcolm, where we bumped into Alan & Ross who was out earlier & already enjoying a big breakfast as we sat down! After that we all headed home nice & early to earn extra brownie points since it seems like we’ve all been spending a small fortune on new bikes recently :-) Kudos to Martin for grinding up those steep hills with a massive 39-18 gear on his hastily build up steel is real winter bike, big up! Thanks again for the company & wheels chaps! Hope to see youse on Friday at Amaretto!

Thought you couldn’t shift into the 25 because of your short chain? In that case, your big softie :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
