simon simpson Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 In the absence of David McKellar , next Sunday, we are one crank short of a bunch... Martin is also otherwise engaged..that's a pair of very expensive cranks we have lost... In the light of this we need a Sun Run organiser / leader and I am quite happy to do this unless someone else has a burning desire. Proposed routes Option A) Clubrooms, Howood, Lochwinnoch, Kilbirnie, Largs, Brisbane Glen, Woodhall, Bishopton and home. Distance: a bit less than this week......which was 58 miles apparently Option Clubrooms, Georgetown, Erskine Bridge, Duntocher, Mugdock, Strathblane, (option to go Gartmore then) Drymen for (enforced) cafe stop and 25 miles to go home on cycle route 7 then the Georgetown. Distance: about the same as this week but probably not as exposed Speed 15-17 mph average, slower riders will be waited for at the top of hills by at least one rider. 9.30 departure from clubrooms in either case. We'll also avoid the four abreast on urban climbs, the failed communication over who has turned for home, etc. etc. Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon simpson Posted November 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Big Al and I set off just after 8 from the house to pick up Aillen and head off to Miller Street. We assembled Dave (2nd timer) Darren, Jim Daly, Frank Kennedy, Mike, Lesley and Sarah appeared from nowhere ( and disappeared to somewhere after floating up John's Hill -shame as after that we calmed down). We hob-nobbed with the comic club at Quarrelton Shed before going down to Kilbirnie and up the hill to Largs. At the start of the water board 5 of us opted for the downhill to the Dalry road and back along the cyclepath while the hardlads went over to do the Brisbane Glen route: Frank, Jim, Mike and Darren. Everyone seemed to get the ride they were after and it was a first for me with an adult stoker. ss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
