Mark O Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 I'm guessing the Flanders bound chaps will be doing another monster route at the weekend. For those not heading for the Classics I'm going to propose a jaunt down to Troon. Usual route and cafe stops and an 09.30 start. Post up if you fancy it.

2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted March 19, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Mark heading a bit confusing. Is this main bunch pace or something less? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Morning M'Lud I hope all is well with you Still in March - muddies still on and the not so Skinny One out of hibernation early. Me thinks main bunch pace as far as a definition can be pinned onto that moving target. Not bogs bunch pace but neither intermediate pace - same pace as Sunday last, I guess if that was main bunch pace. I'll hang in until I go pop, then scuttle home. I think you can read 'lazy' as being 'not as long a distance as the Flanders bound chaps'. I'll be looking for a wheel to drag me around the Sewing Bee from next month, how's your diary looking? Got a stone to lose and 2 mph to find. Just think, you'll be able to give me a kicking all the way up the Bowfield and from Stewarton to the turn for home. What's not to like. charlie p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted March 19, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 'Lazy' was a reference to the 09:30 start as well as the much shorter distance. pace should be fast enough to stay warm, but without blowing anyone up.

2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted March 19, 2019 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 This Sunday was ideal. Sunday bunch pace. Not too quick but not too slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions XXX Posted March 19, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 As an outsider looks like you don’t have a faster longer bunch you have what would have been an intermediate bunch, being driven my riders who may have done little training over the dark winter and now want everybody to ride to accommodate them. Oh the joys of the great club run pace debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted March 20, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Early part of the route will be Bowfield, Dunlop, Stewarton, then on to Troon. The way back could vary, depending on legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark O Posted March 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 As Alan says - Bowfield, Lugton, Dunlop, Stewarton. Then onto Kilmaurs, Knockintiber, Crosshouse, Gatehouse, Dundonald, Barassie Troon (cafe of choice). Return via Loans and the reverse of the outward route to Kilmaurs then a sortie out towards Fenwick (I'll bale out here) and then onto Stewarton, Dunlop, Luggie and Bowfield. A variant would be to head for Stewarton then take a right at the cross, up Glasgow Road/Dubbs Road and follow the sewing bee route back. I'm guessing 65 miles. Turns will no doubt be shouted out as we get to them. Iain67 and Codg1e 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
