Hello

 

can you give me a provisional idea of the timetable, folks?

 

Regards

 

Alan

 

We usually head for the ferry from the clubrooms on the saturday (24th Nov.), drop of our gear at the YH and then go for a ride around the island (or half way round, or some alternative if the weather is crap :shock: ). Dinner, then to the bar. Ride hope the next day...Voila Oh ya dancer !

Please add my name to the list.

 

How bad can the weather be in November/ nearly December on Arran?

Surely the 14 on the list already can't all be wrong :-?

 

Jim :grin:

 

We always have an alternative ( Hello, beer !! ) should the weather be so bad (Force 10 :smash ) to deter the intrepid bunch :uzi

Last year I booked Lochranza by card for us all .. it will possibly be officially closed so late in the season so I'll need to phone them... it was about £11 or so a night

 

can we have final numbers by middle of next week?

 

 

 

Also any provisionals/

 

I'm happy to pay for it all at the moment.

In reply to Alan re; timetable

 

Plan A is

leave Johnstone on cyclepath 7 ish get to Ardrossan boat at 9.30 over to Arran dump the bags - light lunch- ride 50 miles round island at 15 mph- recover -shower- dinner -pub - wind 1 mph ne... sunny spells 18 degrees

 

 

reality...Plan B and C

 

leave late and miss the boat and / or the boat is broken and we go Johnstone / Ardrossan / Wemyss Bay / Bute / Tighnabruich / Tarbet / Claonaig/

 

and / or torrential rain ...get to Arran in wind fron hell -serious riders write it off and go to pub 2pm while pretenders do 20 miles in rain before shivering in the pub ...

 

 

lets go for Plan A

I'll have you know I'm just back from a serious training week in Helsinki . Eating, drinking and plenty of miles on the bike (Well two out of three ain't bad as some other slighlty overweight bloke said ;-) )

I will ring them next week after everyone has had a chance to sort their calenders.

 

We'll sort provisions out nearer the time, perhaps with Simon's guidance.

I'm not sure if "Alan" is me or not.

 

I can't book up yet, I don't know which weekends I'm working.

 

I'd be happy to pay a tenner just to keep a place. Is this possible?

 

If I can't make it you could buy four more bottles of White Lightning for the weekend. Just keep it away from your bearings.
