Guest EPCC Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Guys I have to work this weekend so was going to leave it up to Charlie or Mark to post a route However same time and place 0900 miller street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al yuille Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Looks like decent weather - anyone up for a long one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Sounds like an Aberfoyle and Loch Katrine type weekend if the weather behaves itself. Who is coming out to play? Need a decent size bunch for this. Please allow McBagel's absence to greatly influence your judgement. Most likely a more steadier pace than there has been over the last few weeks. Cafe stop where ever you fancy. Usual depart from Miller Street 09.00 and meet at the bridge 09.30 ish. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted August 8, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Might see you up Aberfoyle way - if I can take my eyes off the hub in front - vets race does 2 laps of lake of Menteith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Richard Posted August 8, 2012 Members Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Looks like decent weather - anyone up for a long one ? I can't make Sunday so I'll be going out on Saturday. I do fancy a long one, though. Haven't decided where yet. Maybe the Rest and Hell's Glen. Or round the Cri'. Company welcome. (Or I'll wheel out the tumbleweed photo again.)

al yuille Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Nae luck boys - you'll just have to be sociable on Sun ! How about this ;http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/86760077 or this ; http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/21540598 Both full day out with 2 ferries. Might be best to get transport to western ferry to avoid too much cooling after riding and keep milage sensible. Ferry at Portavadie is 40 minutes past the hour so 830 Western ferry gives best part of 2 hours for the 1040 to Tarbert (30 miles Dunoon - Portavadie - you know the climbs !) Not ridden the Kilberry loop but east side of Kintyre is quiet ( beyond Arran ferry ) and rolling with great views of Arran. West side is flat and usually a tail wind - great views of Gigha, Islay and Jura. Tarbert good for coffee , food. Other options for stops Carradale and Campbeltown. Only for those with the full day available I guess. Be nice to get a day out. If no interest then it's hard to beat Loch Katrine. Reasonable bunch already done this run earlier in the summer though. Go on ,go on ,go on..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Fox Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Like your thinking Al - day pass now secured. Campbeltown preferred option, but either looks good for a day in the sun (you can only do the Dukes Pass so many times in one year!)

2023 Subscriptions gregbalden Posted August 8, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Sounds fantastic Al, count me in, I had a full day, and ill defo keep it that way!! Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Al's route will do just fine. Who is riding to the ferry and what time would be the Miller Street depart. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted August 9, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Sounds great, but infortunately Sunday is out for me.... Richard, I'll happily join you on Saturday, route your choice Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted August 9, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 al Simply inspirational. totally makes up for not getting into vets race. mark most direct route to Ferry is through Bridge of weir so could I meet you there at say 7.30 am( Clydesdale Bank ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al yuille Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Excellent guys - big miles from BOW ! I will drive to the ferry. See you there for the 830. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Big miles - smiles, Guessing at 160 for the day if I ride to and from the ferry, could be interesting on the way back. Charlie 7.30 at the Clydesdale Bank BofW sounds good, or perhaps on the track for Kilmalcolm, can dicuss this evening. Anyone else heading for ferry on two wheels. Will be heading along the track from Paisley around 07.00 hours can meet people on the way. I am working on the basis we are doing route 21540598 per Al's post can open link to other one. M PS a couple of sacrificial goats dispatched to the weather gods would not go a miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Looks like a cracker. Too much too soon for me. Hoping to get out for a shorter run if my knee, back & bronchial problems clear up. Scunnered of Paisley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin McPhee Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Sounds a great route Al. See you at ferry Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Fox Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Heading into Gourock in the near future to attempt to buy Dunoon ferry tickets as I've been told it's a bit cheaper buying from local shops than the ferry. Anybody else want one (apologies for short notice?) If I don't hear from anyone then I'll buy a 10 journey book and they will be available for a small fee on Sun! (Although have to take the chance that the ferry guy will accept them all from the same book at the same time!? - if he doesn't then you'll need to pay up and I'm sure I'll get through the 10 tickets in my lifetime!)

2023 Subscriptions gregbalden Posted August 10, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Alan, ill take some of your ten journey tickets, if you don't mind, saves me stopping at the shop Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
