LenMcD Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Cheers all. Magic run down the coast. Well done Andrew on his first outing, hope to see you again. Great to see Hamish and Emma too. Bigger chainring needed Hamish! Your legs were a blur on the way down to Kilbirnie..... KennyS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest George Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Not much camaraderie displayed on way home from West Kilbride. Very poor form. I have edited this post & will say no more on the matter. Just wish to register my disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted September 14, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Excellent run out this morning, just what I was needing. Good to see such a large turnout. I'm sure the Bagel Basket will be well pleased with their days takings, although it is just possible we cleared them out of cakes by the time we left.

Mark O Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Well that went well, no? Fab turn out folks, great to see so many out in the blue and yellow. A pity that the jets were away in competition, would have been great to see some more young 'uns in the mix 7 new/old faces joined us today. Very encouraging to see potential members coming along and being made very welcome. Special mention for young Andrew out for his first ever bunch ride and doing fantastically. Hamish, what did you have for breakfast and is it UCI approved, and can we buy some. Looked very comfortable in the bunch at 12 years old - well done young man - (Chapeau Mul if thats the standard of Jet likely to graduate into the senior ranks in the coming years). Thanks to Billy for looking after the first bunch. Highlight of the day for me, other than the riding, was standing in the BB (under new management) and listening to the amazing hubbub of cycling chat. Absolutely brilliant atmosphere. Given the general positive reception these full club social rides get, I will aim at organising at least 2 a year. It is a good day when we all get out together. Thanks to all those who turned out. All in all a fab day on the road. M martin, GrahamF and alexb 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al yuille Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Yeah, well done Marco. Just goes to show that even the main bunch can be sociable ! Best bit of the day ? - letting Billy think we were going to wait at the top of the climb ! Alan Michael 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted September 14, 2014 Life Members Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Excellent day out on the bike what with 40-50 in the whole bunch, I just did not realise we had so many members :-) Thanks for the wheels to follow and particularly to Darryl, Alan Fox, Iain Couttie & Billy for towing me back to Johnstone after the West Kilbride stretch! A second cafe stop for Richard, Big Al, Iain (JanUllrich) & me in Pollokshaws topped it off for a great end to the day. Fantastic! Thanks to Mark for the organisation & everyone that turned out, apologies to those new guys & girls for not having a chance to chat. Hope you guys will come back for more :-) Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexb Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Great run guys. Cameron really enjoyed it too, although the hills over West Kilbride finished him off! I told Daryl we'd be heading back via Highfield to rejoin cycle track and managed to bump into some of the other group. 74 miles on 13 year old legs was some going. Chillies carry out beckons! Thanks again. chung and al yuille 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted September 14, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Great to see so many out today, welcome to the new members. Bagel basket was quite a sight with all the bikes outside, when Inverclyde Velo arrived a couple of them had to hang their bikes from the tree as there was no other space! After the West Kilbride turn got dropped then almost got back on a couple of times when it flattened out before it going uphill again, tough going so more incentive than ever to lose some weight this winter. I'll be saying the exact same thing next week too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Cross Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Sounds great. Really 40 or 50!!! If the BB is under new management, I take it they're still bike friendly..thinking ahead to wet winter rides!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark O Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I spoke to the new owner of the BB (can't remember the chap's name - serious problem with remembering names) to thank him for his forebearance putting up with the horde of locusts that descended on the BB. Any hoo, he was very glad to see us this morning, apparently the serving girls had forewarned him of the cycling based custom. I explained that the BB was the natural winter roost of the great and lesser lycra'd Joasin and that he may need a decent mop or 2 come December but he didn't seemed phased by the prospect of drookit cyclists turning up on a Sunday morning - business as usual it would appear. Ritchie/Chung, yes easily 40 and certainly creeping towards 50 bodies on the road, which is a fantastic show. Had the jets not been off competing we could easily have had 3 groups of 20 riding once we add in the Mulhooligans, Steeles and Macleans to mention one or three.

Sus-L Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Many thanks for dragging me along on today's outing. Although I did bow out at Largs I'm really not always such a lightweight!! BB a fine stop and crazy noisy with the amount of bike chatter. Hope to join you again soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
