simon simpson Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Lesley is away so may I propose a run for Sunday? Forecast is much like today 12c light rain four obvious options.... Option A How about Bishopton back road to Woodhall, Largs by Brisbane Glen and back by the Hailey Brae Cycle path to Lochwinnoch and back in by John's Hill or path Distance to Largs from Bishopton is about 25 miles and its 22 or 23 back to Johnstone from there. Could have a cafe stop in Largs if required on the main street. I will have the winter bike on the road by then and you'll be pleased to know I've patched my shorts. We could do a pick up at the Erskine Bridge if Erskine 8.50 Clubrooms 9.30 Bishopton ; cross roads at the garage 10.10 ish. Largs cafe 12 noon home by 2 Option B: Darkest Ayrshire Option C: go out with the 9 am bunch Option D: someone else come up with a plan...

simon simpson Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 To start with it was only windy. Daryl, Mike, Jim and Franky fixed were joined on the cycle path by me and Al who were late as usual. Out to Bishopton and we were joined by Campbell and Ronnie and the weather got worse and worse. Somewhere above Finlaystone we went up a horrible hill and continued to the cafe at Lochwinnoch via another hill or two the bunch by now depleted to 5. The experience of wind and wet was so bad we opted for the Moss Road. Funny how you forget what winter is actually like.... next week mudguards, tights, overshoes 2 pairs of gloves!

Members Kenny MacDonald Posted October 19, 2008 Members Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Have to say we didnt find the wind that bad this morning and rain wasnt too bad either, walked the dog this afternoon though glad I had full waterproofs on spotted Jim C and Kerry heading out as I turned into street , they would have been soaked thru before they reached Howwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted October 19, 2008 Committee Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Windy for sure. Big ring UP Brisbane Glen. Delicious freewheeling at 50kph on the flat around Loch Thom. Back in time to go to the X-race at Auchentoshan with the Jets in full action. Well done Lewis and Katie for racing in the evil weather.
