rideouts

[berto]

:cool: We are arranging some big rideouts this year....Applecross 550 mls round trip,Glencoe,Oban,Tighnabruich etc are any of you coming or what???

[Ratchet]

or what ??????????!!!!!!!!!
give us dates and well see whats on the calender. Can you promise four seasons in one ride instead of only three like last time. :D

[DavidT]

Sounds great - possibly be able to meet up on one of these runs rather than just watching you all go by!
Last week we had the first dry days since mid December. I used up some digging out a base for slabs to park the 'bike on and, as a reward, had a quick spin through Glencoe, round Ballachulish and Oban. Excellent!

[Fran]

Sounds appealing but was wondering though if these big rideouts would be suitable for a lil newbie rider like myself!? Also are there any dates available for us mortals who have to work weekends so I could try and get the day(s) off?

[Richard_S]

fear not for bertie is a mere 11yr old and still utilises his stabilisers.

you'll do just fine

[Scotty]

well im not so sure i think 550 miles is mental
cos id have t do another 100 t sunny glasgow and n 100 home again aftwards my knees would need amputating after all that cuh

[celt]

will be going up west coast (troon and largs) to gourock then after a nights hotel on to ferry to dunoon and onward to glencoe.
no date set but i'll let the fellow clan members know just in case you fancy a meet on the way :D

[DesmoDog]

Sounds good though. Could aways do part of it and then peel off for toon. Celt, long time no see man. You been hiding for winter?

[celt]

just about. bikes been in for that re-spray over xmas. been viewing site but not a lot to say on the biking front.
took her into work today though as i couldnt resist a quick blat.

i told scotty we should do a little run out so i'll keep in touch if we do. even if its just a bag of chips on the coast.

[DesmoDog]

mmmm chips - let me know and I'll make sure the old git is running

[berto]

;) Don't ferry Celt or you miss out on the Lochside road A82 only 45 mins from Troon. up to the Green Welly then on to Glencoe... :burnout:

[celt]

we are going back that way from Glencoe. whats the green welly?

[Fran]

The Green Welly is a restaurant at Tyndrum, one of the highlands best known "tourist" stops ! Does great grub and is geared up for bikers... it even has a bike park.

[celt]
