Yes I will get train up. I’d originally suggested a cycle up via crow road but that means leaving KA postcode 😞.

George Square appears to be the hub. Or Glasgow Green.

[Derek Skinner]

Good day lads.

If anyone gets the chance of a day off the train to Stranraer and cycle back has 4 or 5 excellent options. About 20 new miles for me today.

Del

That’s 6 – so probably topped out at that.

Del, Alan, Chris, Philip, George and David.

[Derek Skinner]

Hopefully you wake up on time 😀. See you tomorrow.

Hi David

Absolutely. We are cycling to Ayr from Troon, leaving Loans at 6.45am. Or meet you at Ayr railway station.

Any issues my mobile is 07776255398

I’d maybe join you for a that on the 2nd Ian if that’s ok. Will check out the weather nearer the time.

Another event we would recommend.

It’s perhaps a bit of a journey to get there – drive and ferry – but a great welcome at the host town and an excellent sportive. Good roads and scenery round the Island, with 3 well stocked food stops (with a 20 min allowance for each that was ideal). About 500 riders, with majority of a similar standard to us doing the 100 mile route.

We stayed just outside Castletown in a fairly basic but good hotel, a couple days cycling and 3 evenings in the town or Douglas. Probably all in cost of £350 (hotel, ferry, fuel, food etc).

Perhaps one that the club attends next year if anyone is interested – not one for anyone who hates hills or steep gradients.

So far 5 FWCC members have signed up for this. Anyone else interested in a trip to Isle of Man ?

I enjoyed the past two weeks and would recommend it to anyone looking for a chain gang. Unfortunately will miss this week 😎☀️🚵‍♀️🍺

Also Ardrossan to Largs road surface is very good.

Del

[Derek Skinner]

Enjoyed that today – good workout.

13 out? Half of them FWCC

[Derek Skinner]

Allan – it’s individual rather than the group ride we are doing. £45.

If your going let me or Alan B know and we can tell you the plans for Accomodation etc

[Derek Skinner]

Dave – going back next Wednesday afternoon 3pm and 4pm.

Brian Loye and Gordon Stead probably going as well. The ‘re accreditation’ takes no time (if you don’t fall!).

Likely to be fairly quiet on those sessions.

[Derek Skinner]

Entered :

Del
Alan
George
Colin G

Also a couple of guys down south who did LEJOG/ride London with me and George.

[Derek Skinner]

Should be there next Wednesday. It was a tough shift last week 🥵

[Derek Skinner]

Good session today – Jim Colin Charlie and me.

Booked again for next Wednesday 14th 3pm till 5pm. Followed by pub grub 😄
