Al Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Simon, sounds like a good run. Myself and Dave will join you. Will you be coming across the cycle path from Johnstone/Linwood and joining the Georgetown Road? If yes, we'll meet you at the Georgetown Rd T junction at 09.25/09.30. Looking forward to it. Ta, Al.

simon simpson Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 ok guys clubrooms depart 9.20 onto cycle path to Morrisons TR onto road to Houston through Houston TR @ roundabout and along Georgetown TL at T junction at end (this might be about 9.40 but that's very approx. Through RBT to Erskine along to Bridge pick up at 10 at car park if there before 10 we will wait until 10. If there after that's because we are slow or puncture etc etc route then goes to Bishopton Turning right up the road that's now one way whicvh your not meant to then straight over the x roads onto the country road. I rode one way to Troon today 45 miles of misery into a headwind. It took me 1hour 15 to get on the cyclepath at Morrisons from Milngavie. Kenny- if you are coming I intend to leave at 8am from the house I may be running late because of the headwind and I am going out tonight - if you see a wobbly cyclist it might be me! If I am not there just carry on on the way to the Georgetown and Erskine hospital and I'll be plodding along the other way.

KennyS Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Sorry, Simon. Some folk are obviously too used to the late nights and early mornings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon simpson Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 good turn out today regulars, returnees, newbies, accidentally bumped into us etc etc 16 or 18 bodies at times three crashes (all low speed - one a comedy fall) two punctures (same wheel - check that rim tape) one great cafe stop and it didn't rain mid fifties miles - 56 ? average around 15 point something - everyone got round and the wind gave a great descent to Kilbirnie next week- Easter Bunny is coming so I may not be out- time for a run up the bowfield into darkest ayrshire I think? good to see so many out making a good effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted April 5, 2009 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 great day out today, thanks Simon for leading us out sorry to miss the cafe stop, but was already late at that point 1st time up the Haily Brae for me, thanks to Frank for waiting at the top Roll on next week Didnt quite get the expected tail wind on way home Ian McG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David J Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Excellent run on Sunday with a great turn-out including the welcome return of Dennis! Good to see you back out. Thanks once again to Simon for an excellent marshalling of the troops. P.S. Rumour has it that Chung could not finish his carrot cake on Sunday - is this part of his (secret) preparations for an assualt on the summer calander??

Al Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 My thanks as well to Simon for a great run. I checked the rim-tape on big Dave's wheel, after the 2nd puncture, and it appeared okay. Probably just the punishment his "excess" puts on that poor wee tyre. Did I not see Chung scoff a Bacon Roll prior to the carrot cake though....where does he put it all I'll be out again this Sunday...yeehaa . Cheers, Al.
