2023 Subscriptions martin Posted August 14, 2009 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I'd be up for a trip over the watter on Sunday too. Got another bealach trainee staying over on Saturday night, and thought the otter ferry / whistlefield loop would be ideal for him. Up for it Chung? Promise to keep it to the tarred roads This route is almost bang on 60 (go on Al, you know you want to) www.bikehike.co.uk/mapview.php?id=15770 We might ride down to the ferry on Sunday, depending on wine consumption after the JW family do at Miller Street on Saturday. Ian - we could join up with you around that time? Any other takers? M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim Daly Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Al What time on Saturday do you plan to set off and from where? Any particular time at Western Ferries? Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted August 14, 2009 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Martin, I assume you mean, if you're sober enough you'll be heading down to Gourock at 8'ish ? That would be good, i'd get you down to the ferry, then do a wee loop round by IBM, up the Whinhill and back home... Hopefully i can get out of work for a couple of hours tomorrow morning, and i'll see you at the Jets family day.... Ian..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
