Life Members chung Posted May 13, 2016 Life Members Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Hi All, Bit of a late post for this Sunday, but better late than never :-) Anyway, weather is dry at least for Sunday so I thought a trip over the North side again is on the cards for me. I'm trying to avoid the Crow AGAIN, as I've been over the Crow SEVEN times in 9 weeks :-) So, Kilcreggan it is then: 9.00am Clubroom - GT - Bridge 9.40am - Dumbarton - Helensburgh - Rhu - Whistlefield climb - Coulport - Kilcreggan Cafe - back round the coast - Glen Fruinn - Balloch - Bonhill - Bridge - Home Approx. 70 miles from Johnstone I think, bailout options along the way if need be. I would appreciate if you make your intentions to come so I can plan accordingly. Cheers Chung Campbell Hutcheson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life Members chung Posted May 13, 2016 Author Life Members Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Chung I can't make Sat so I was looking to get out early on Sunday and do 100+ for Spain. I was wanting to get back early James, If that's the case, then you can start early - say 7am (or earlier) and do a solo circuit around Houston, Lochwinnoch & Bishopton etc & meet us at the bridge at said time & do most of the route (say miss-out the Coulport & Kilcreggan part) & head back via Glen Fruinn. I think that should give you a fair amount of km & will get you back home early doors. With us doing the full propose route, I reckoned we should be back at the bridge no later than 2.45pm (give or take) anyway!

2023 Subscriptions BoydJohnston Posted May 13, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Chung, I'll be along for part of the ride at least - joining you at the bridge 9:30/9:40. I suspect that ride is a bit more than 70 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted May 13, 2016 Committee Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Can't make Saturday epic so probably be at bridge 0930. Eric, I will post to confirm. ?meet up in village first. EricL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions GrahamF Posted May 14, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Chung, I'll be along for part of the ride at least - joining you at the bridge 9:30/9:40. I suspect that ride is a bit more than 70 miles. I fancy a shorter version of this also. The Kilcreggan ferry is not running on Sunday's, so suggest cafe stop at Garelochead and back on Chung's route via Glen Fruin as a shorter option. This may suit some 30 milers? Eric, I'll see you at the Pullman at 9:00, to meet the others at the bridge at 9:30 / 9:40. EricL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Cross Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Sounds good for me!! Definitely there this week but couldn't do the full route I imagine. Is anyone going to be at the clubrooms? EricL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted May 14, 2016 Author Life Members Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Ritchie & All, Thats great folks, the more the merrier! Plenty of bail outs along the way, not a problem. It looks like most folks (if not all) are meeting at the bridge, then if no one apart from Ritchie & me, then lets all meet at the bridge, saves me heading over to Johnstone :-) But if more folks want to meet at clubroom, then please indicate your intention so - I'll make a final confirmation & post up later on tonight then. Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I'll do the shorter route with Graham. I will bypass the club rooms and head through Kilbarchan/Brookfiled to be at Bridge 9:30 - 9:40. Will be passing Houston busstop about 9:05 (but not stopping) Ritchie - you could park at the shops at Crosslee if nobody else going from club.

LA_Guns (Paul ?) - as Billy said, usual meeting point just next to the garden centre on the bridge, above the bus stop that you mentioned. Will see you there tomorrow then! :-) O.K, lets confirm to all meet at the bridge then at the said time of 9.30-9.40am, weather looking half decent & hopefully more of the same like today. See youse all tomorrow, remember to bring some lunch money folks :-) Cheers Chung EricL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
