Life Members chung Posted January 28, 2011 Life Members Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Already posted this on Long run Sunday post "Sorry for confusing folks with my poor judgement on distance regarding the run round Helensburgh, Arrochar, Rest and Struchar. I will struggle to last the distance and therefore does not want to slow the "Flanders Brigade" down. I plan for a 8.30am start from clubroom and cycle down to ferry, hopefully catching the 10.00am crossing with the 30milers. If the "Flanders Brigade" are starting the same time, then even better, which means I (we) can hitch a ride at least to the bridge. Again sorry for the miscalculation.

williecosh Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Sorry about the late posting guys, but I was out with the family tonight. We have ten places on the bus and my car for riders and bikes. This should be plenty. Remember we need to leave at 9am sharp and we're picking Lewis Mulholland up at Bridge of Weir at 9.10! Looks as if its going to be a good day. W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williecosh Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Chucked out the Strachur tearoom for criticising the service and refusing to pay 'corkage' on a pint of milk, by Sybil Fawlty! I take it that's the Hammock award in the bag then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Cowden Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 That was a really good day today, and many thanks for the lift - shame those chaps on the longer route weren't round quick enough to meet up with us at the cafe as planned - do catch up!

Paul C Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 The long route boys arrived about 15 mins after you left!!. So those of us who had done the extra bill t loop joined them for the run back to the ferry at a briskish pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.yeoman Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 thanks to all for a great day out, Good to be back in the saddle after a few year away, hope to join you again next week. 2 weeks in a row!!!! that will be a new record for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Evening guys or at least those who have not crashed and burned on the sofa or beat a retreat for an early night. Absolutely stonking day out over the water. Without question best day on a bike for me in a long time-so cheers all round. Chung, I finally got home around 5 after a sandwich and mars bar stop at morrisons with light fading and bang on 96 miles on the clock. Outrageous for January, doubly so for me. Unfortunatley too dark to add a few sneaky laps of Lochshore to bring up trable figures!! was tempting though Willie C, good to see an old face from the past, will catch up with you further next Sunday.

jonnycosh84 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks to everyone for an enjoyable cycle on Sunday, I had a great day! It was great to see the two young guys (Lewis and Josh) keep the high reputation of the Jets going with an impressive cycle too, well done boys!! On the note of reputations, it was good to see my Dad keep the 'Cosh' family one going with the immediate fall out of the cafe owner...we have belters in our family, but being 'BARRED' from a rural cafe has reached new levels. My mum would like mention that my Dad's bike collection is now up for sale...she says that if she gets the 'right' price she'll throw in a free Scottie.
