Colin H Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Ian, Still have to find out which day I'am working this weekend but its looking like Sunday so I may tag along for as long as I can Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted March 23, 2011 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Colin, Sounds good... A slight change of plan, I probably wont get 60-70 miles in, as i've got things to do in the afternoon, so am planning to be out from say 8.30 till 12pm, so it's looking more like 50 something miles.... Let me know if that suits, i'll post a route shortly.... Ian.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Cowden Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Ian/Colin I'm up for a run tomorrow too. Was going to suggest maybe meeting over this way if you fancied a change of roads, but that doesn't look an option given time constraints. So, happy to meet 8.30/9.00am clubrooms/start of Georgetown/ or Bishopton as suits. Will check later for views. Cheers Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin H Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Iain, Good to hear from you. As Ian has not posted a route yet I was thinking: Houston, BOW, Kilbarchan, Howwood (Bowfield), Clockwise around Peesweep APR circuit, Beith, Kilbirnie, Lochwinnoch, Kilmacolm, Houston. A few wee steep climbs in there and quite a number of heavy drags. If you guys have other ideas I' am happy to go with the flow. Will try to keep up as long as possible Meet outide the River Inn in Houston 0900?????? Nice and handy for me Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Christie Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I plan to come over too. Where and when are you kicking off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Cowden Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Folks I am happy with Colin's suggested route and time (9am). Kenny, the Riverside Inn is actually in Crosslee. It's just a couple of hundred yards from the Georgetown turn roundabout. Just past the shops I think you sometimes parked at for last year's Thrusday hilly runs. I'll check later to see if there is any changed plan and look forward to seeing you/catching up in the morning. Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted March 25, 2011 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Sound good to me, so long as i'm home for 12'ish... Kenny, i'll meet you at the entrance to Erskine Hospital at 8.35'ish, and get you over to Houston... Ian... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Christie Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 No worries Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Christie Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I met up with a sprightly looking Ian McGinty at the bridge this morning. We made our way down the Georgetown to be met by the welcome sight of Iain Cowden, and Lindsay. We mustered at Crosslee to await Colin's arrival, other commitments meant he was unable to make it. Cambelll appeared and brought our numbers to five.That being the case, Iain Cowden became our route master. We had the best of the day in the morning, bright and warm was the order of the day. A stiff breeze in the exposed area's but really, a perfect day for cycling. All told 80 odd miles for me, and it felt like it too.

Iain Cowden Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 As Kenny says, a fine day in good company! Thanks to Colin for the route which I think we followed pretty faithfully save a wee extra bit due to a senior moment (mine). Shame Colin missed out but another time for sure. Kenny and Ian McG were the strongest on the (many) hills. Renfrewshire looking at its best. Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l80own Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Yeah I agree great day and company. Pity I couldn't make the whole route. I was really struggling today, more hill training needed i think. Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
