2023 Subscriptions GrahamF Posted June 4, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'm planning to do this Audax which starts from Bridge of Weir, and is the day before Milport. Any company would be welcome, it might be a one for anyone who doesn't fancy the racing on Cumbrae. As the name suggests the route includes Loch Katrine and places in that direction such as Callander and Fintry. Entry closes on 11th June, here's a link to it: http://www.aukweb.net/events/detail/14-204/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life Members chung Posted June 22, 2014 Life Members Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I managed a late entry into this event thanks to Graham Hanley (the organiser), I have fond memory of this event since this was my very first audax I did back in 2005 when it was organise by "Triking Dave" of the JWCC. So, I was happy to relive the memory again plus the route was very attractive indeed! An early start yesterday with a few Joansins - Graham F, Campbell Hutcheson & Ironman Campbell along with 2 dozens or so Audaxer ventured North of the river. It wasn't a good start for Ironman as his freehub packed in just meters after the start, luckily a lift home for a back wheel change meant he could carry-on the ride only with the slightest delay. I suppose if it was going to happen, then it's better to be near home! Along the way, we picked up Big Al Yullie at the bridge but no sign of Simon Simpson :-) The 4 of us - Campbell H, Graham F, Al & myself rode in our wee group making good progress. We had to since we had THREE cafe stops, one in Callander, then Inversnaids & finally Aberfoyle. The stop at Inversnaid Bunk house was a new one for us, the soup & sandwich deal which the organizer made with the owner which cost us a fiver was hard to beat! :-) So it was a magnificent day of cycling with lots of sandwiches, rolls, soup, tea, coffee, cakes & splendid company along the way! Oh, and with 205km & 7000ft of climbing by the time we got back to BoW with more tea & coffee, even a plate of vegetable curry was on offer too! Thanks for the wheels chaps & Al constant blether! Hope to do this again next year, a great route indeed! Cheers Chung GrahamF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
