2023 Subscriptions GrahamF Posted October 8, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 To mark the end of the season and the start of winter time, here's a whole club run to Largs and the Bagel Basket. Starting from the Club Rooms at 09:00 (winter time, the clocks go back the night before). As in previous years for this run, the intention is to set of in groups of 15 to 20 with members mixed from the regular Sunday bunches, proceeding anticlockwise to the Bagel Basket, via Kilmacolm and Gourock. After the stop we can reassemble into different groups to depending on who want to take which route back. The outbound leg is 32 miles from Miller St., the return can be anything you want it to be, including the train if required! The minimum return cycling is 20 miles via the Haylie Brae and Kilbirnie. Nearer starts are possible for anyone who may not feel up to cycling all the way. Remember the clocks go back, so you get an extra hour in bed, and mudguards on please! (but lets hope it's not wet) Please post if you will be riding, then I can warn the BB how big an invasion to expect.

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted October 15, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Would any of the cyclocross fraternity be interested in doing the murshiel challenge on this day. This involves riding up to murshiel then on up track as far as you can go. There is then a section of something like 4k where you have to carry your bike through peat bog, it is not rideable and you can expect to wade though ditches up to your thighs. Then join the Loch Thom road at highest point and down into Largs to join rest of groups. Challenge is to get there before the bunch going round the coast.

alexb Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 You sell it well Paul! I'm hoping to coax Cameron into coming along so will need to stick to road bike. Gutted as wading through ditches up to my thighs and carrying my bike for 4K sounds brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted October 15, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I'd be up for that Paul - although you have my consent to leave me to die should that be necessary to catch the bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted October 21, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 CX brigade will depart from Castle Semple Loch at 9am assuming there are at least 2 commits. It would be 'not sensible' to do it single. David Cathcart and Alan McLean are mibeez, Andy G a likely so post up intentions chaps. This is a life changing* experience and one to add to the bucket list ! *under certain weather conditions this could be changed to 'threatening' PaulL, DavidC and George 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
