2023 Subscriptions Codg1e Posted June 18, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Update: Route: https://www.strava.com/routes/19738575 with wheels rolling from 8am from Clubrooms Hi, I'm thinking as it's the longest day this week, we'd be better taking advantage of the long days and go for a long ride! So I propose heading across the bridge, Helensburgh, Garelochhead, Arrochar & The Rest, Strachur, and choice of two options: home via Loch Eck with cafe at Sheila's Diner, ferry to Gourock and back via West Ferry or Clune, or keep going south from Strachur to Otter Ferry, (cafe at the wee hotel there) then home via C11, Loch Tarsan, Dunoon, and then ferry to Gourock and home via West Ferry/Clune. Going via Otter Ferry adds on extra miles, elevation and time (circa 100 miles via Loch Eck and 120 miles via Otter Ferry). Happy to go with the majority... As it's a long run, are we good for wheels rolling from clubrooms at 8am? chung 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably do cafe stop Sheila's diner or if we're in a hurry to catch ferry then Bluebird cafe in Gourock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth considering so you don't dehydrate or hit the wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
