2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted June 20, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 For some reason I was convinced this was on Saturday, I'm not going to be able to make it Sunday i'm afraid Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I was wondering how far Paul McD's route is. I think it may be too far too fast for me but Hunters Quay to strachur and back is too short. So, maybe there are some people interested to repeat the route we did in April via Glen Lean (southerly route). So options would be : a) Paul McD's route via R&BT/Hells Glen - leaving club at 09:00. Distance ??? 09:30 ferry. Hunters Quay to Strachur via Glen Lean and back to HQuay. Distance 47 miles. HQ to Strachur is 30 miles so should be there by 12:00 (barring major mechanicals). c) Jan/Elaine's route. 10:00 or 10: 30 ferry. HQ shortest route to Strachur and back - 34 miles. I don't know what the total numbers will be but would it be a good idea to phone the cafe to forwarn? Paul C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions martin Posted June 22, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 'scuse the ignorance, but which one's Glen Lean? (BTW have you been learning route names from Charlie? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted June 22, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Paul C, The long route is approx 100miles (60m + from Johnstone to Strachur, 18m from Strachur to Hunters Quay and then 20m from Gourock to Johnstone). Then there is also the distance from home to Johnstone and back etc. I imagine that some of the hills may be keenly contested, in a similar manner to a normal run out with JD! See you all Sunday. Cheers, R PMcD - 08:20 at the loch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Binnie Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Will be at erskine Bridge around 09:30 for the Hells Glen option Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted June 22, 2011 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Ramsay and garnocksiders etc If leaving clubrooms at 9am, what do you think 8.30am rendevous at Lochwinnoch loch for the various bodies heading along the track?

2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted June 22, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Paul, 8:30 at the loch sounds good. My thoughts on a 9am start from the club room would get us to Strachur closer to 12:30 even on a good steady run, given it is a hilly 60miles.

2023 Subscriptions Elaine Muirhead Posted June 22, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hey Jan Meet you at McInroys Point for the Western Ferry at 10:30.

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted June 22, 2011 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Great to see there are now 3 run options converging on Strachur cafe for about noon on Sunday. Good point from Ramsay that it would more like an 8.30am departure from clubrooms for the 60 mile run. So - a final show of hands for 8.30am clubrooms, bridge, either luss/military road or helensburgh/whistlefield - RABT - Hells glen - Stachur. Then maybe Ballochandrain over to Dunoon after some tea and scones. Club kit wherever possible big photo shoot option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavieB Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 08:30 at the club rooms is fine for me. So propose for those east bound on the cycletrack meeting at LochW the back of 08:00hrs. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Martin, Turn left after Sandbank onto B836 towards Glendaruel. According to my OS atlas it is called Glen Lean - maybe the JWCC dictionary calls it something else! To others : There seems to be a fair number taking option a) route. How about the other options? I am taking route and will probaly cycle from Lochwinnoch to ferry via B788 to Greenock (20 miles) leaving 7:50 - 8:00. If any body else cycling to the ferry I could dive into Kilmalcolm (as alternative) and take track/Clune route (like last time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarsan dam and Loch Striven over to Glendaruel, and then? Straight on over the Leanach to Strachur would suit me and the young lad. What ferry are you planning to catch?
