Mark O Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 1st weekend in November hmm anyone up for ........Troon, as a last hurrah before the bagel basket express kicks in for the winter. Clubrooms 09.00, steady pace. Bowfield, Lugton, Stewarton, Irvine and Troon (Venice Cafe) return via Dundonald, Crosshouse, Kilmarnock, Kilmaurs Fenwick, Stewarton and back to Miller Street. A little rolling but no climbs of note other than the Bowfield. Who's in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest George Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Thanks to those who waited this morning/sorry for holding you back. Mrs D dutifully picked me up but getting her to me was a bit of a carry on. This was due to: A) my poor directions her poor interpretation of my directions C) poor/intermittent phone reception D) the wind making it sound like I was calling from a ridge on K2 Combination of the above led to me shouting down the phone & her shouting back that she couldn't hear me followed by a pause then us shouting over each other followed by another pause then the call cutting out. Of course, we then called each other back at the same time, time and again. Then I would get the "searching for signal" message. So I ended up waiting nearly an hour to be picked up, by which time I was truly frozen & miserable. Guess what? That's right, she had left all sorts of junk in the boot AND brought the DOG with her! Much faffing & mumbling & under the breath cursing ensued followed by a stony silence on the way home. I'm away to bed to defrost. Bike still in boot.

Guest George Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Forgot to say, I got another double puncture on that exact corner the last time we rode over it. So I blame Darryl for turning left instead of right. I'll forgive you, given time. Darryl Gunson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Cross Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Glad you got home eventually George! It was indeed a tale of woe We got a decent amount of rain on the way to Troon but sunshine on the way back. Good run....maybe not so much for John but we all made it in the end Colin McPhee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin McPhee Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 As I was a bit pressed for time peeled off with Darryl to do a shorter (dry) loop made it home without getting as much as a speck of rain so result. Chapeau to those who did the full loop to Troon Darryl Gunson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions martin Posted November 3, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 thanks on behalf of the Jets for letting us tag along for the first bit. We had a spin down to Kilwinning via Dunlop and Torranyard, and then a cafe stop at Castle Semple on the way home. almost dry all the way, although we could see some angry looking clouds down the coast.

LenMcD Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Cheers chaps. Peeled off at Kilmaurs on way home to get Mark back to do his homework. Ended up into the wind to Stewarton, Dunlop, Barrmill, Beith and back to Lochwinnoch. Both suitably knackered. Great way to spend the early part of a Sunday. Thanks one and all. By the way, great scrambled egg bap in Troon. Fine choice of cafe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted November 3, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Thoroughly enjoyable run in better than expected conditions. Ended up clocking 73.5 miles, and raided the jelly babies several times to get back. Thanks for the company everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Ritchie there was a splash of rain as we hit Irvine - not even worth stopping for rain jackets. Pretty good run and sunshine on the way back. Len I claim responsibility for introducing the Joansin to the delights of the Venice Cafe. Charlie was sold on the size of the scones at his first visit and its been a regular watering hole since. Scrambled egg roll hit the spot today no mistake.
