JaneF Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I hope there are some folk who would enjoy a social, slow pace ride from McInroy's Point Gourock Red Western ferry to Dunoon and then Strachur cafe for lunch and hopefully meeting up there with the Intermediate and Main bunches followed by a slow ride back to the ferry on the most direct and flattest route. We estimate this as about 36 miles from ferry to ferry. I am allowing 2 hours each way. If anyone wants to up their game they can come home with a different bunch and I would welcome all who want to join us back to the ferry after lunch. 10.40 ferry crossing out, return passenger ticket £5 from newsagents on Shore Street called Pauls Food and Wine, more expensive on the ferry! 94 Shore St, Gourock PA19 1RB Phone:01475 630997 Meet at 10.30am with bike and tickets at McInroy's Point, I shall drive down and leave the car nearby, not a lot of parking at the ferry. Great opportunity to experience a Club outing at an easy pace and for those who haven't been out much this season. Please post if you are coming along.

al yuille Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Just be careful parking near the ferry as there are time restrictions on spaces closer to the ferry terminal. Yes , I have had a ticket ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jannza Posted May 28, 2014 Administrators Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Would quite like to join you but I would like to be back for 2-3pm Defo won't take 2 hours each way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneF Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Thanks Al for the parking warning. Thanks Jann, the time allows for plenty of stops/photo opportunities and encouragement of novices, if we arrive at the cafe first then we can have extra coffee and cake before the other bunches. No problem if you want to pedal out or back with a keener group. Everyone welcome, especially potential new Wheelers. chung 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 The proposed mass club meet up at Strachur has been done previously and worked well. The ride back to the ferry is a good one and mostly flat. As Jane suggests it allows riders the chance to ride back with a different group. Us alledgedly anti social types in the main bunch have no problem with anyone wanting to hang on to our wheels on the the run to the ferry. The good thing is should you get dropped another group will sweep you up. Barring mechanicals I'd imaging the main bunch will be arriving in Strachur around 1.00pm. At least I hope it will be as I'll be starving by then!!!!! Richie Cross 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneF Posted May 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Thanks Mark, looks as though only Jann and I at the moment so should be plenty of lunch left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneF Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 A great ride to cafe including one photo opportunity. Seemed harder returning to ferry. Thanks for the encouragement from the other groups. Will plan another soon. Jannza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
