Iain Cowden Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Myself and Mary will be heading out for some steady miles, perhaps 50-60 from the clubrooms at 9.30am. Company welcome, pace 15-16mph average, re-grouping after any significant climbs. Open to suggestion routewise but would want to minimise busy roads (as usual)! An option could be Bowfield/Gateside/Barrmill/Kilwinning/W Kilbride/Dalry/Kilbirnie, with options to return via the track or golf club road to Lochwinnoch and extend the run via Johnshill/Howwood or Quarriers for anyone who fancies the miles/hills. Very happy to go with the flow on the morning. Thanks Iain ginty001 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Cowden Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Mary, Boyd, Bill T, Chung and I headed out from Miller St in fine dry conditions. Folk were happy to go with the suggested route above which kept us largely out of the traffic, other than the section from Kilwinning, skirting the 3 Towns, up to W Kilbride and a café stop at the excellent Cherry Orchard. From there over the hill to Dalry, then over to Highfield /CR 7, & back to Lochwinnoch on the track. There Boyd opted for Kilmacolm and some extra miles/hills, whilst the rest of us returned to Morrisons on the track, then over to Houston with Bill, after which the remaining three returned to Glasgow via the Georgetown/Paisley/ Bellahouston etc. Some 74 miles for Mary and me, a bit more for Chung and about 46-47 round trip from the clubrooms. The delayed weather front meant we stayed dry all the way - a bonus and probably the last outing on the good bikes for Mary and myself. Many thanks to all for the great company as always - a fine relaxing day on the bike! Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
