    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Enjoyable morning off road. Would be keen to try similar type routes within an hours drive of Ayrshire if anyone wants to organise/suggest options.

    It’s a possibility. Was thinking about Thursday cause I am already in Glasgow that day.

    Hi Colin, I won’t manage to attend but happy to contribute to the club next year if required. Can you let me know your email address and I will send the committee my thoughts.
