Members Kenny MacDonald Posted May 30, 2008 Members Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 With Georgetown road not available for series we require to move to alternative venue. Te APR circuit is not suitable for TT bikes therefore the proposed alternative is :- Gateside whisky bond circuit which has been used for APR s in past . Route :- start just past junction leading to whisky bond proceed south to turn left onto A736 head east to turn left at Canny man ( parrafin lamp) proceed to finish at 30mph sign at Gateside village approx 6.7miles comments ?? a wee multi map thingy anyone Circuit has got one hill and rest is rolling and suitable for TT bikes.

Sean Gray Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hi Kenny would it possible to move the series to JULY, asi think that the road will be getting resurfaced which would make for some fast times. Only a thought, What do i know Cheers Sean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions gregbalden Posted June 2, 2008 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Is the start down the road that has the sign that says "Balgray Bond" on it and left from there? Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Greg yes it's just round that corner where the Balgray Bond sigh is. Here's the course: http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-ki ... 8530432371 Probably the best way to cycle there from Johnstone is to head out Beith Rd and go up the Bowfield climb, passing the reservoir on your left, then take the next turning on the right (just at that very sharp left-hand bend where Mike was marshalling last Saturday). Then turn right when you reach the Lugton-Beith Rd, and you will see the whisky-bond sign after a mile or so. Hope to see you there Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
