Committee Alan McLean Posted June 14, 2011 Committee Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 One for the short, steep hill lovers. 1845 Crosslee, then Monkey house, Bishy hill, first 500m of West ferry but turn off into Langbank to do Station Road (ouch), past Gleddoch, Garscube hill (lovely views), Gallahill (more 10%) to the transmitter mast, Finlaystone hill (10% sections), Cloak Road (wee climb) to reach the top of the Clune and back through Kilmacolm. About the same distance as usuall but lots of 50-80m hills in place of the Clune. Overall around 200m more climbing at a guess. House rules: attack hills but regroup at the top. Polka dot jersey to anyone who beats Ramsay. Anyone interested? A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jannza Posted June 14, 2011 Administrators Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 The road from Johnstone to Crosslee was closed to vehicles tonight on case anyone is heading from that direction. Mark may be able to confirm if its passable on a bike as saw him heading along it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavieB Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Anybody heading out from the Valley - plan on cycling past Paddockholm just before 18:00hrs. Will go with the flow in terms of whether we do this or the "bunch". Davie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted June 16, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Not going to make it, as I've been up half the night being ill. Same bug Elaine had two days ago, so both of us are somewhat below par at present. Have fun. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancelogan Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Advice please. I done squats at the gym on Monday, was XC MTBing on Tuesday and still have tight hamstrings, should I come out tonight or not. I'm unsure of the recovery physiology.

Committee Alan McLean Posted June 16, 2011 Author Committee Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Due to an early puncture we were caught by the bogs bunch. Ouch. Lovely evening anyway. Top marks to Fergus on his first bunch ride and hanging on like grim death before a return to Beith with the Glengarnock team (i hope). About a fifty mile evening run.

A Hi Guys, thanks for a good 1st bunch ride and thanks for all the tips and encouragement. Got dropped coming through Kilmacolm and didn't have the legs to catch up so jumped on the cycle track at B of W and headed back to Beith. Look forward to some more rides with you guys if you'll have me back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancelogan Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Kudos on your 1st bunch run Fergus. Apologies to those that waited on the clune for me I'm a slow climber as it is without over training earlier in the week. Thanks to Charlie for pacing me up. On the plus side the sore legs are all but gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
