Life Members chung Posted May 31, 2014 Life Members Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I'll get you guys at the end of Georgetown Road or Bridge, but I'm push for time as i need to be back for 3pm, so I'll bail either at Glen Fruinn or before. Hope the good weather continuous for tomorrow! See you's all tomorrow then. Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted June 1, 2014 Life Members Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Met the bunch at the bridge with new recruit Alex joining us for the day. I counted 9 - Tom, Alex, Billy, Mark, Paul C, Iain JanUllrich, Alan T, Ritchie & myself set off towards Helensburgh. Where upon Paul & me bailed out after Glen Fruinn leaving the remaining 7 to continue on their journey to Dunoon. The rain as promised made its predicted appearance, but only slight drizzle though. I hope you guys got better weather than us! A quick descend into Balloch for a cafe stop at the Corries where we bumped into the Paisley Velo Bunch, me & Paul was out numbered to their bunch of 5. We stuffed our faces and off we went again and a friendly toll from them back to the bridge, don't worry we did our turns on the front :-) I left Paul to fend for him self after I bid farewell to them before at the bridge as I opted to stay on the North side of the river to head home via the leafy Westend. A slight head wind with constant drizzle meant a rather unpleasant ride back which also meant I'm totally soaked through, ah don't you just love Scottish summer? A tad over 120 km, I'm sure you guys will have a lot more by the time you've gone all the way round. Just hope you got better weather than me. Again thanks for the wheel chaps (Joansins & Velos) and I'm off to Edinburgh now for some French nosh. Billy, I hope you're wrong about the restaurant, otherwise I won't be back till midnight Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Cross Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Good day today. As described by Chung then the rest of us made our way to Strachur for lunch via The Rest. Weather wasn't too bad really. No mechanicals of any sort. Nice lunch apart from the fact it took an hour with service being a bit slow. Only myself and Al along the Georgetown with the breeze in our face. 125 on the clock with a 17.8 ave. I stopped my Garmin on 122 miles to preserve my 18+ ave but it was clever enough to keep going!! I'll have to remember to reset it next time! Cheers for the wheels. See you soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted June 1, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Yeah good day out, only 101 miles for me so managed to keep it above 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted June 1, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Clocked up 111 miles at a 17.3 average and just short of 4000 ft. of climbing. Weather was ok at times and distinctly moist at others. Not overly impressed with the service at the stop in Strachur, even if the food was good. Great to meet up with the intermediates and Jann and Jane at the cafe stop. A pretty good day out all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Fine day for the first 125 out of my 128 miles. Wiped out doing a right hander on a roundabout at ibrox in superb giroesque style...well ic the pros can do it. Hit some oil or grease on wet roads and the back wheel was away. Classy slide for about 4 metres across the road. Luckily no cars behind me. New kit held up well hardly a mark on it. Got off lightly with some road rash. Bike ok too. Apart from that a good day in the saddle. Arran challange next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted June 1, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Glad you're ok Mark, and, just as importantly, the kit survived too. Told you it crashes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EPCC Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 110.5 miles at 17.8 would have been higher but I was bust half way along the westferry limped home with Henrietta nipping away Think the hill walk yesterday with the dog was not such a good idea Not out next week somebody want to post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted June 1, 2014 Life Members Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Mark, sorry to hear your wee spill. Hope every thing is ok and no real damage done to you and the bike! Take it easy Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
