Life Members chung Posted December 6, 2018 Life Members Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Hi All, Current weather forecast for this Sunday is meant to be "sunny", so how about a trip over the river or do we stay on this side of the Clyde? Can see who turns up then decide or if anyone have any route suggestion? Fire away ........ I'm easy, I just want to pedal :-) Company welcome as always!

Life Members chung Posted December 9, 2018 Author Life Members Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Destination sunny Kilcreggan - bunch of 10 riders - Alan (Hendry), Alex, Colin Sale, Colin McPhee, Eric, Glen, Jaki, Iain Carvil/McGinty & myself made steady progress all the way to Helensburgh, where upon Colin M turned back to play in a gig later on the afternoon. We were joined part way in Helensburgh by 2 of Glen's friends who also are heading to Flanders next April, getting some km in their legs no doubt & introducing themselves to some of us Flanders bound Wheelers too! What was meant to be a quick cafe stop in Kilcreggan turned out to be anything but, the service was good but it was sloooooooooooow! A welcome tail wind on the way back up the road, but some mad drivers about which wasn't expected this time of the week but still it didn't spoil the run in good weather for December & good wheels to follow all day! Kudos to Jaki who haven't been on a bike since early October, she dug in & made it all the way round, chapeau! Probably a shorter route next Sunday ........... it was dark by the time I rocked up my front door :-/ Thanks again for the company & wheels today Cheers Chung Richard, EricL, GlenIrving and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Codg1e Posted December 10, 2018 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 An enjoyable day! A tad icy on the way out and temp didn't go much above 0C all day - until we left the cafe at a balmy 12C - that didn't last long lol and it was back down to 3/4C all the way home The foot & glove warmers came in very handy! Great run, quite long for a winter run and sun was setting upon returning home, but I put this down to the slow service in the cafe, despite giving them a heads up on our impending arrival - we were in there for just over an hour! Some really poor driving and risk taking by drivers on the usual Helensburgh - Dumbarton stretch but other than that, a great run! ginty001 and chung 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Iain67 Posted December 10, 2018 Members Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Great day and love a Kilcreggan day out but think we'll need to find a new cafe stop. really enjoyed the day and good to get a solid 70 in the legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted December 11, 2018 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 I know a new Café Stop for that route.... the Green Kettle, just up from the roundabout at top of Garelochead, would mean doing the whole Peninsula loop first, but its only an extra 8 miles before the stop... last time I was in I had the best homemade soup ever....
