2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted June 1, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Darryl 8am start would suit me. Really looking forward to 85 odd miles of being Billy's domestique but it'd be good to get home around 2 for my other domestique duties Andy Billy We're off to look at a house tomorrow afternoon so need to be back early afternoon. Sorry I can't be your domestique tomorrow! Hope youse have a grand day, excellent route and good weather! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life Members chung Posted June 2, 2013 Life Members Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Good summary of the ride today, Darryl, I couldn't agree more! Just like to add that the 6 of us - Al, Campbell, Alan Fox, John, Hugh & myself who weren't that push for time went for a wee detour after following the original intended route. The extra miles took us - after we departed from the rest in Strathblane - to Cuilt Brae, Queens View, Croftamie, Cycle route 7, Bonhill, Dumbarton, Bridge then Al, Hugh & myself stayed on the North side to carry on home to the South side of Glasgow! For me coming back up the A77 Ayr Road solo was murder with a strong head wind slowing me down big time. My legs are totally knackered & I'm stuffing my face now, but with 104 miles in the Garmin I'm well chuffed! Second Century ride in 3 weeks, no bad then for me! But I imagine John will have raked up more when he gets home! Great to see a big Joansin bunch today and tons of other cyclist on the road, happy days! Thanks for everyone for the company & wheels to follow today! Same again next Sunday please! Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life Members chung Posted June 2, 2013 Life Members Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Billy, Have you got a PayPal account? It usually depends on how quick the buyer pays you! Good luck on your track bike sale! Do you know if the velodrome have a message board or something? You could try selling it through there as its the right catchment for protential buyers.

al yuille Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yes a great bunch run today - or so they told me when I caught them at the cafe after 60 miles ! After they rode off from the bridge without me I took a bit of a detour and missed the Khyber , heading straight into Milngavie and up the climb beside the reservoir. Was so quick I got to the top of Mugdock before them but , not knowing that , I headed into Strathblane and along the glen. Bumped into Gerry from the MTB club and we did the Tak and the North Third loop before rejoining the Carron valley road where we met Campbell. Climbed the Crow and eventually rejoined the bunch at the cafe at Campsie Glen. Nice route back via Cuilt and Queens View climbs. A real old school club run - looks like it was a hit. Ayrshire Alps on Sat but more of same for Sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Tom Hill Posted June 3, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Great ride yesterday , although I struggled after the Tak. Must have done me some good though - no coughing or sniffing at all today!! Thanks to Paul & Chung for giving some wheels to suck.
