Tony Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I'm up for a Saturday run this week. I will try and catch you in BoW. Or maybe in Johnstone, if I am running late myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I'll be out too but need to set off a wee bit earlier. I expect to be at the cycle track at Morrisons around 09:00. Hope to see you tomorrow. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin H Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Many apologies to The saturday Morning Mile Munchers Had a domestic issue that had to take priority this morning Silver lining to every cloud though as I have been granted a pass for tomorrow morning as a result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Sorry you couldn't make it Colin. I turned up at the clubrooms at 0900, waited till 0915 then headed off on my own up the Braes road and wandered around the lanes for a couple of hours. Home by 1130 for tea and cake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim Daly Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I got to Clubhouse at 9:16... and, yeah, the forecast was spot on: very cold, wet, sleety, windy, etc. Was at Bull's at 8:50 but had to return home up ranfurly for overshoes and then didn't hang about getting down to Johnstone. Down to Kilbirnie and on to Kilwinning by some interesting new roads - with freshly cut hedges... Slow puncture a few miles short of Kilbarchan that I was not too keen on repairing. Limped to the main road and couldn't persuade any taxi companies to pick me up. Hands now too cold to repair. Eventually started walking! Martin Mulhooligan, already acting as ambulance driver for Kenny, saved my life by picking me up just as hypothermia and frost bite got a good grip. If I can be bothered repairing my puncture, I'll be back out Sunday morning for more of the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Headed off down the track towards Kilbirnie at 09:00 atan easy pace. Got to Largs by 10:15 during which time weather wasn't too bad. However, after grabbing a 5 minute banana break and setting off again, the temperature dropped, it started to rain in sheets, headwind really got up and I found myself slogging it out all the way around the coast. Grim stuff. Got to Port Glasgow at 11:45 by which time my fingers and toes were so cold that I thought I'd frostbite By this time I just wanted to get home the quickest way possible so decided to head up the Clune. However, it was all a bit too much for me and I ground to a halt halfway up. Had to hide in a bus shelter for a couple of minutes until I found the willpower to climb back on the bike. Took the back road into Kilmacolm and cycletrack to Houston. Home by 12:40 feeling awful. Much madness. So, who's out for a run tomorrow? Frank.
