Life Members chung Posted December 11, 2009 Life Members Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi Charlie, Are you thinking of going down to Largs via the Hailie or Brisbane Glen? So, is it 9.00am then? Bit early, what about 9.15am? Please confirm! See you then Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted December 11, 2009 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Chung Great to hear from you.Thought you had put bike away for winter. 9.15 it is. Pretty chilled about route though we should have a coffee and mince pie stop. Any one else for a jaunt. Where is Frank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted December 12, 2009 Life Members Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Hi Charlie, Any idea as to what the weather is like tomorrow? If it's anything like today, then I really don't fancy going down to the coast with the ice and fog. Anyway, will be down to the clubroom for a 9.15am start and we can decide what to do then. Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Hi Charlie/Chung, won't make it out tomorrow sorry. In fact, I'm unlikely to out on Sunday runs for the foreseeable future. I went out today with Colin and it was bitterly cold so wrap up well tomorrow. Chung, I picked up your mail from clubrooms and will get it to you asap. I may drop in to your shop during the week.

2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted December 13, 2009 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 On a cold frosty misty morning myself Campbell David Colin And Chung met at Miller street for a coastal run. Chung did take a bit of pursuading that it would be brighter in Largs. We set off on the cycle track through Kilbirnie & all was well. David took the first climb of the day just pipping Colin. The second hill climb was even stevens between david and myself but it all went horribly wrong for david on the third, Whilst looking for that extra throttle to take the stage he managed to shear off his rear mech something hanger ( sorry Chung I know you told me what is was but at my age the short term memory is not so good ) Anyway chain was knackered and David could only free wheel. We were a mile and a half from Kilwinning Railway Station so with a bit of assistance ( mainly from Colin we got him to the station ) . On route both David and Colin did a triple salko on the icy bridge entering Kilwinning. Both fell with great grace. Colin may now have another scar on the wounds he sustained last May. Having left David at the station we headed for Largs. My promise of clear skies did not materialise and if anything the fog got worse. We made the sensible decision to come off the Largs road and headed to Lochwinnoch via dalry. Colin keen to score brownie points with his missus cracked on home whereas myself Chung and Campbell stopped off at Lochwinnoch for coffee blt and cake. We met the Carrigan boys and Kenny Christie who had just descended from the mountains. They made us look positively pristine but they seemed to have had a great time wading through rivers etc. Chung returned to Johnstone on the cycle track with the mountain bike boys and Campbell and myself took the kilmacolm road. Great company and a great day despite the weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
