Iain Cowden Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Forecast looks cold but otherwise Ok for Saturday so I'll be heading out for some more steady miles (50-60)on quietish roads from the clubrooms at 9.30am. Company very welcome. Happy to leave route till the morning - open to suggestions but will give it some thought on the ride over! Thanks Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions BoydJohnston Posted November 8, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Should be golfing tomorrow, but the course may be a bit on the wet side, so I may just go for a cycle instead. Don't wait if I'm not there, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Cowden Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Kenny Christie and I met up on Paisley Rd W to head over to Miller St for 9.30 - no surprise that no- one else there given the cold rain! We headed out up Bowfield, left over to Peesweep, Sgt. Law, down Shilford hill, across to Uplawmoor, then over the back road to Dunlop. From there over to Beith via Barrmill, then down the back road (now re-surfaced to great effect as far as the stone bridge at the first turn off for Beith) to the rear of what was previously the Hungry Monk, and on to Lochwinnoch. A welcome café stop there to heat up, then back to Morrisons, over to Houston, down the Georgetown to the Red Smiddy, where Kenny headed home over the bridge and I home via Renfrew. Almost exactly 60 miles for me and a good bit more for Kenny. There were actually quite a few cyclists out and about. In truth probably a better day for the Hoydrome or the turbo, but nevertheless we had a fine run out in true winter conditions, visiting some roads not seen in a while. BTW modern cycling clothing is fantastic! Iain martin, Richard, ginty001 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions martin Posted November 9, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Nice one Iain. Coaching the Jets at Linwood this morning we could see some lovely blue skies over the Renfrew Heights between the showers. Sounds like a fine run on good back roads.
