Life Members chung Posted June 24, 2016 Life Members Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Hi All, Spoke to Paul Levy earlier & we're both keen to get out this sunday despite mix weather report, chances of rain later on in the afternoon but hay ....... at least it'll be warm rain :-) Anyway, destination Dunoon Bridge - Dumbarton - Helensborough - Whistlefield - Arrachor - Rest - Hell's Glen (optional) - Struchar - Loch Erk - Dunoon - Ferry - West Ferry - Home. 100 miles no less I guess :-) All company welcome - how about an early start say 8.30am meet at the bridge! ​Cheers Chung EricL, Gerard Deeley and PaulL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted June 25, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I am a maybe, it depends on how I feel after Thursday's crash as my knee and neck and ribs are a bit sore. I may just go with the thirty milers for a gentle outing. I will let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted June 25, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I have groped and fondled my bike back to its verdant glory but my plinking knee has forced me to be sensible* and go with the thirty milers tomorrow. Have a good run and I will be out to play another day. *A new word for me I had to look up a dictionary!

2023 Subscriptions George Posted June 26, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I was looking in the Sunday run section for a ride this week & wondering why no-one had posted up. Didn't spot this ride. When is a Sunday run not a Sunday run? Answers on a postcard.... XXX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Cross Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Do your unread posts not show in bold? I believe it appears as a run when it's not 'officially' a 30 miler/intermediates/main bunch run etc George 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions George Posted June 26, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Well what category of ride is it? Chung, should we re-arrange the club run section to include: 30 miler Intermediate Main bunch Chung Just sayin. If it's a Sunday run post it in the Sunday run bit.

Life Members chung Posted June 26, 2016 Author Life Members Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Another Jerkyll & Hyde ride weather wise today, dry for the first part of the ride but pretty wet for the remainder Six of us meet at the bridge early this morning - Campbell, Eric, Iain C, James, PaulL & myself set off heading toward Helensburgh, but a last minute route changed meant Campbell & Iain headed for Dunoon, but instead the 4 of us went round to Kilcreggan clockwise via the coast to climb the hill after Coulport for a fast descend back down to Farslane. The new revised route took us up Glen Fruinn to drop back down to Balloch via the loch side for a welcome café stop in Balloch. The day had been dry with a bit of sun peaking through up to that point, but as soon as we sat down for our café feast, the rain started to fall as forecast. A long café stop due to the place being busy, but eventually we had to face the prospect of a wet ride home. So, we reluctantly donned our waterproof & made the return leg to the bridge, where upon I parted company with the guys. Hope everyone got home ok & Paul managed to catch the Ireland v France game, please don't tell me the score as I want to watch my recording proper! Thanks for the wheels & company today, guys - hope Campbell & Iain didn't get caught out with the rain before the ferry! 155 km for me by the time I returned home - please let the weather be better next Sunday, fingers crossed!

2023 Subscriptions James Posted June 26, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Good run and some good company. Cafe stop a bit longer than normal as the cafe was busy, but prolonged the rain a bit in the run for home!! PaulL, chung and EricL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
