slow al Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 The famous five set out from BBJ at 9.27 am heading for Largs via Kilbirnie, the five being Ian, John, Dave, Alistair and Slow Al whom struggled a bit on the hills. However I dug deep and kept going, as Ian kept whispering in my lug of the joys of the cafe stop with stories of scrumsous rolls and square slice covered in broon sauce ! Once revitalised it was onwards and upwards via Brisbane Glen, a doddle, doon to the port, back through Bishopton and along the well laid Georgetown Road. Thanks guys for a great 60 miles in the saddle, sorry will not be out next Sunday as I have to go to a wedding, no not mine ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
