2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted April 13, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hope to be out, if i am will meet at the bridge. What sort of speed do you think you'll be doing? A bit apprehensive of holding anyone up. The corresponding club run last year had an average of about 18mph for 100 miles. There are long flat sections so can make good progress in a group. A lot depends on what sort of miles you do and at what average speed to judge whether you will feel comfortable or not but you can always try it and see - if you are finding it difficult then there are bail out options in Helensburgh (either train back or go up sinclair street or retrace the route so far) and again at Faslane where you can go over Glen Fruin and head back from there. If you are still apprehensive then Graham and Gerrards alternative route is a bit shorter, will be at intermediate pace and is a cracking ride too.

Andrew On the flats 18 mph on the climbs 8 mph Thanks both. 18mph sounds about right for me (famous last words) but I've been a bit short of miles the last couple of weeks, however the bail out options are reassuring. I'll have a think and let you know which group I'm heading with. Thanks again for the info, really appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Anyone doing Strachur run that seems like it could be a possibility for me, and seems a decent day to meet everyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted April 15, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Andy Graham is leaving Kilmacolm at 0800h, check his post. I am meeting him at the bottom of the Clune at 0815h and we intend getting the 0900h ferry. Do post so we know if and where you intend joining us as you are most welcome. Normal pace allows plenty of blether on the steady sections so you will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexb Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I was going to go to clubhouse, but given I'd be heading from Houston just to head back through, I'll go with Paul's suggestion and get him at the bus stop at 0840.

Life Members chung Posted April 16, 2016 Life Members Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 If I get better from this cough of mine tomorrow, then I hope to be at the bridge for part of the run at least. But can say for sure, so if not there by 9am, don't wait! P.S Fingers crossed! Cheers Chung PaulL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
