2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted May 26, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 This is the date that had been set aside for the double Arran challenge. However not possible due to road closure. So I propose an Ayrshire Alps run. Can't remember exact figures but when I looked at a route earlier in the year when we were going to go it was about 65-70 miles with about 6 big climbs of Whin type proportions. There is practically no flat road inbetween to get rolling as such. Requires a 45 min drive to just south of Ayr. So perhaps a 7.45 depart with view to start riding about 8.30? Anyone interested?

Mark O Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'm out on the bike with a few clients on Friday (cycling is the new golf for doing business) so probably not for me. M AllanC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GEORGE DONNELLY Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 George, sounds brilliant what about juice in a cup and a babybell? I assume you mean Robinsons Barley? Might even throw in cheese strings (boak) & a splicer bar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted May 27, 2013 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Davie, if we start at 8.30 then max ride time would be 4.5 hours plus allow 1/2 hour for shop stops then back at cars for 1.30pm. Home by 2.30pm latest. Route only takes in a couple of very small villages so cafe stop might not be possible. It's ok though, George is bringing a big picnic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted June 3, 2013 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Who is on for Saturday? Route is essentially 6 climbs with some rolly miles inbetween. Proposed format would be roll down to first climb and take it as one bunch as it is a long, not too steep one. Then ride as a bunch between climbs and people can have a blast on each climb if they so wish with a regroup at top of each. Rendevous point will be in layby just south (about 100m) of the Manrahead roundabout in Beith - which is the big roundabout at the Dalry end of Beith where the A737 meets with the B777. Meet at 0730. Drive time to just south of Minishant is 45 mins. Plan to be riding by 0830. Davie B - want me to pick you up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
