Members Richard Posted October 12, 2017 Members Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 The A81 was closed between Balfron Station and Ballat Toll last week - no way through at all, even on bikes. It may have reopened, but it's worth factoring the possibility of a diversion into your plans if you're heading north on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life Members chung Posted October 14, 2017 Life Members Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Charlie & folks, I'm keen for this dispite the wet weather forecast, in light of that can I suggest bikes with mudguards please! I know it's still a few weeks to go before it's compulsory, but no one likes sitting on wet wheels :-) I'll be at the bridge for 10.00am!

2023 Subscriptions XXX Posted October 14, 2017 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Chung and co I might be out but no mudguards A’s can’t fit them to Cervelo and don’t have a winter bike set up yet , but more likely to do my own thing as man flu has been hanging round me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions George Posted October 14, 2017 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Sorry, Chung. Got a new bike and intend to ride it before mudguards become compulsory. It's only a wee bit of water......🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted October 14, 2017 Life Members Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Guys, no worries ......... like I said, it would be great if it’s do-able, but I know it’s still not mudguards time yet, so can’t ask for more! On the up side, I get to stare at your new shiny summer bikes, so that’ll make up for it :-) Anyway, hope the weather will be much better than forecast! See youse tomorrow, Billy & George!

Members Richard Posted October 15, 2017 Members Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Ta for indulging me on the fixed wheel, guys. I really enjoyed that. Hope you made it back without incident. George and Gerard Deeley 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted October 15, 2017 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Always good to get out and we were lucky that it did not rain. Many thanks to Charlie, George and Iain for keeping me on the way back, that was much, much tougher than expected. Head down and a wheel to follow that I fully trust is a great morale booster. I hope everyone got back safely Iain67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions George Posted October 15, 2017 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 If only, Richard.... A tough day out in the end, 95 miles on the clock for me, added to just shy of 65 yesterday so very tired. Late entry for the Hamoc award from Charlie: he had a puncture in Bowling, Gerard stopped to help as Iain & I sat under a tree to take shelter from a shower. Several minutes had passed when Iain noticed Gerard scrabbling about in a big pile of leaves that covered the entire pavement. Turns out, in his haste to remove his wheel, Charlie had pinged the helical spring and nut from his wheel into the undergrowth. 10 mins of us all sifting through the wet leaves followed before we found it 😂 Off we went. I felt great until we turned into the brutal headwind along the Georgetown Road where I went from feeling strong as a bison to weak as a kitten inside 30 seconds, hunger knock😕 Had to stop and lean my head against a fence for a bit and cadge some food off Charlie before being nursed home by him and Iain. Absolutely gubbed night night 😴 Richard, Iain67, Gerard Deeley and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted October 15, 2017 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Enjoyable ride and we got lucky with the weather. Headwind wasn't even all that bad, only had it for about 35 miles rather than the expected 45+ George, XXX, Iain67 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
