alexb Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Looks like only the additional summer ferries are affected with the 0700 out and 1355 back unaffected. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think working night shift the night before may have contributed! Brisk southerly and double rain blobs on BBC forecast today. (Probably means no wind and bright sunshine on the day...)

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted May 18, 2016 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Well lADs, some things to think about. Wind looking even more suitable now, still showers but less then a DAy or two ago. It changes by the DAy, On the one hand ADverse weather will make it even more epic, On the other it will make it challenging and possibly even silly if weather bAD enough, From what I know the status of the immortality candiDAtes is as below but would really appreciate an update from each Alex B - mibeez hope you feel better Jan Ullrich - yip Robbo McEwan - yip pending anyone setting their house on fire DArryl - yip Alan McLean - yip Andy Gummers - yip James S - yip Colin - yip JuDAs van tool - nope, so prodigal son not reADmitted to the fold just yet Alan McB - unlikely with knee DAmage Gregg O - dunno Mark O - yip Paul L - please let us know Paul robster82 and Gummers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Committee Alan McLean Posted May 18, 2016 Committee Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hoping Paul Leavy will be doing a Jets coaching course and will miss him if he is not on Arran. Really wanted AlexB and AMcB for max wattage, shame if they can't come. ? comfort stop around Lochranza @ 2 and 5 hours? Better plan ahead and let everyone know than try to discuss it on a 50kph paceline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexb Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I'll be there but might just do some towing for a single. Hard week in Japan with very little sleep, hit with a virus the day I got back coupled with jet lag has had me on my back since Monday evening. Fingers crossed I'll hang in, but don't think a hanger on is whats required on the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
