2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted August 20, 2015 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Team. We have a plan to try and accommodate Robbie and Alan. It is to meet at 0715 for a sharp depart at the big roundabout above Lochwinnoch where there is a small factory and a slip road with easy parking. Means we should be at start point just after 0800 for an earlier start. Â The roundabout is on the main Johnstone to Beith road A737. Â To save the planet I can easy take another body and bike in my car or join in to someone else's car and just be navigator. Â If anyone is planning to be there but a bit late then text me on 07939 733146. You will be publicly exposed for poor timekeeping though.

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted August 21, 2015 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Jan Great if you can make it. Meet point is an extended layby on the B7045 road which you turn on to just South of Minishant. The layby is on the left just before the short link road to the B7023. It's about 3 miles from Minishant. Text me if you are near. We should be there about 0810 latest. Also, my ex boss used to travel from England to Girvan every week. She reckoned the best route is probably to go as far north as Strathaven then head west to Kilmarnock and south to Minishant Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexb Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Other than some dodgy road surfaces, that was a great run. Great views down to the sea, great climbs, great descents, and very little traffic. Magic!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted August 22, 2015 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Another great day in our very own Alps. I think next year we need to extend this to an 8 climb or 100 miler. Plenty options to extend on these brilliant and quiet roads. Those descents are one of life's adrenalin rushes. :)9 iain couttie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
