Guest EPCC Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Big Georges fav run Callender and all lumps millage ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Circa 80 miles for round trip to Aberfoyle. Probably another 25 for loop to take in Callander and Dukes, therefore a ton for the day from Miller Street. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Point of order: I suggested this as an alternative to the Largs run. In no way shape or form is an 80-100 mile ride of up and down a "delight" for me. After you lot get back from Italy I'll be posting club rides up and down the cycle path for the rest of the year.

Paul C Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Is this still the proposed run for this Sunday? George (Hincapie) told me on Friday that he would not be out for this one. Not sure if I can manage extra loop to Callander. Cafe stop in Aberfoyle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm up for a run to Aberfoyle, various routes to be considered. I did a run to Aberfoyle tale end of the summer with Al Yuille and Ferenze John (met Richard on the return journey) can't remember the full route but could refer to a map of the area and come up with something. I do know we went through Drymen on the way out and returned along the main road. I'll have a look at the map and see if I can't come up with something.

Life Members chung Posted March 19, 2012 Life Members Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Mark, Does the route start from the clubroom or do we have to drive to a certain point first? I'll go with Paul and require a cafe stop for myself & others if possible. P.S did you get my note on the Michelin Pro-Race 2 tyres. (please refer to post for yesterday's run) Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EPCC Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Chung Paul I am not out but usual club run rules apply so fill your boots or stomach. The only reason for not wanting a stop on Sunday was time constraints and ferry waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Is Aberfoyle confirmed? 09:00 at the club? Forecast looks good 13 - 14C and dry!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 YES! Proposed route - 09.00 clubroom depart and strike out for bridge for 09.30 in usual way. A choice then of heading to Jameston and doing some minor roads via Auchincarroch to Croftamie or across to Duntocher and do the A809 thru Stockiemuir to Croftamie. Then onto and thru Drymen for more minor roads thru Dalmary and Gartmore and onto Aberfoyle. Return along main road A81 to Milngavie, the Bridge and Miller Street Cafe stop at Aberfoyle. I've ridden the Jameston route once before but not at all certain of it. If someone does then fair shout. My preference would be to go via Stockiemuir - nice climb to view point, but will go with maj. view. Post up preferences re the route otherwise its Stockiemuir and the view point climb. Pace will be usual for sunday bunch - brisk but conversational. Usual mechanical and regroup rules apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Mark, You have made the mistake of offering people the chance to post their preference for the route thus precipitating an avalanche of posts. You are proposing the run so it is your choice and we just follow it. Be firm!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Viewpoint climb it is!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeB Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'm planning to be out for this. Not sure about the extra loop though, will see how I feel. Cafe stop a definite though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Tom Hill Posted March 22, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I am doubtful for this as I will be fluid unbalancing on Saturday night. So if I am not at the Bridge don't wait. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions martin Posted March 22, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 other duties mean I can't come out this Sunday (again!). Going to Perthshire with the WoSCA under 16 team to recce the youth tour of Scotland route. should be fun all the same. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Looks like the internet gremlins have been at this thread as well!! Mark - I will meet you at PH at 08:20, can you bring the chain tool with you as it is esssential emergency kit for long runs as last weekend proved. Am a bit undecided if I will stay out for the duration if the much touted "heatwave" is as intense as it is today but will at least get youse a bit of the way.

Guest Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Due to the pull of extraneous forces I will definitely not make it 2moro. I will be attending another titanic sporting event. Hope you all have a good one & I'll be back to guide my flock next week. The Hincapie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
