Life Members chung Posted July 10, 2019 Life Members Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hi All, Looking really good for this Sundays weather forecast, so thinking to do a lap round Loch Katrine via Aberfoyle & up the Duke's counter clockwise. Plenty of options to shorten the route if need be, but a fairly long route. So, I'm thinking earlier start - 9am at the Bridge & 8.30am at the Clubroom! Any one fancy it? Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John, not sure yet, there's always the Crow which you "enjoyed" so much on your first ascent last year :-) ........ seriously though, we can decide on the day! We'll be heading up the Pipe Track on the way out via Cycle Route 7 to Croftamie, so will see if we return the same way! Looking forward to it, chaps!

2023 Subscriptions gregbalden Posted July 10, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 I plan to be out Chung however have to be back sharp.   So I'll probably do a dead turn at the far side of the pipetrack...One of my favourite decents!!  Greg. chung 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Iain, I reckon if we do the full route round Katrine, then I imagine will be at least 4-ish back to Bridge with a cafe stop ..... or two? Then again, I could be completely wrong in my estimation :-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted July 14, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Good run out today. The bunch got a bit fractured after Aberfoyle, with Chung and Alex carrying on round Loch Katrine, while the rest of us wimped out after climbing Dukes Pass, then re-traced our route back home. The road back to Alexandria from Croftamie was a bit busy with cars, so we hit the cycle track back to the bridge, as we reckoned  - rightly so, as it turned out - that the A82 would be very busy. We met up with Tommy (who had been at the Helensburgh sportive) at Bowling, and had a good run back to Bishopton. chung, Iain67 and John C 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted July 15, 2019 Author Life Members Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Lovely run into Aberfoyle with a Bunch of 7, then Alex & I headed round Katrine as it was rude not to, given the scorching weather 🙂 Managed to visit 2 cafes that I've never been in before, the first being the "Go Ape" Adventure centre half way up the Duke's & the Wee Blether next to Loch Ard just before Aberfolye, both top recommendation from Alex ........ unfortunately for him though, not a Samsung mobile phone charger was to be found in each of these cafes (all i-Phone users) since Alex had forgotten to charge his phone for Strava before he came out 🙂 ......... he was convinced that everyone was out to piss him off  🙂 Anyway, it was a very long enjoyable day on the saddle & thanks to the Bunch earlier on & Alex for great company all day .......thankfully, I think his phone survived to record all his ride on Strava ........ otherwise it did not happen! 196km for me in the end, not quite the 200 I was hoping for, but I just ran out of road   P.S - Alan, lovely retro restoration & build on your Gazelle .......... especially the SWITCH to Campagnolo! You seem to be a changed man since your retirement, one is never too late to walk down the righteous path of Cycling Component Enlightenment 🙂 ......... keep walking my brother!  Cheers Chung AlanT, Richard and Iain67 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
