July's Jolie Jaunt

[carelesschucca]

Here's the planned route (now with James amendment);

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Allanshaw+Ind+Est,+1+Peacock+Drive,+Hamilton +ML39BG+(J+%26+S+Accessories+Ltd)&daddr=Dalmellington+to:Castle+Douglas+to:Dundrenna n,+Kirkcudbright+to:Newton+Stewart+to:Biggar+to:Wh itburn,+Bathgate,+United+Kingdom&geocode=FSsWUwMdJyLC_yEb2yyg2IQIcQ%3BFbEtTAMdeui8_ ykj4tMHNYFiSDGDv2dzKxzdxQ%3BFZpNRgMdtADE_ylbPz6XkY ViSDHojkrFKS7SzQ%3BFWhRRAMdVMfD_ykZ30Ok5N1iSDGn5Na 57_hdMg%3BFRKbRgMdio67_ymFa4PMUBViSDFNRB58TUTmJQ%3 BFdDBUAMd-jnK_ynrS2ePMKhiSDEAak4O-YkySA%3BFVR1VAMdb8XH_yn3MtXLMHSISDEwPSIinAXuww&hl=en&mra=ls&sll=54.954357,-3.975677&sspn=0.295323,1.054001&ie=UTF8&z=9

Its a 10:30 start this time to allow the people from further away to make it in time and I'm also proposing having it on the 10th July as I've already heard people can't make the 3rd.

Main stop will be in Castle Douglas for food (probably in the old petrol station or Tesco carpark)

we'll have quick stops 5 or 10 min stops (fag breaks) in;

Dalmellington (petrol station)
Dalry (on the 2nd time of passing)

we'll also have regroups on the way round.

Sadly Angelina has already said she can't make it so has sent a picture of her on a nice bike ;) (Look she's pushing ginger just like me!!!)

[Milky Bar Kid]

Ooooh, I am off then...I could maybe nip up and meet you in Dalmellington....

[JamesMio]

** Raises hand like the swotty kid at the back of the class...

Mr Chucca, Mr Chucca...

I can improve the bit between Gatehouse & CD hugely... it'd only add on a few more miles (4 according to Google Maps, which I find hard to believe!), but let me know if you're interested?

[carelesschucca]

yeah let me know and we can run it :)

[carelesschucca]

Ooooh, I am off then...I could maybe nip up and meet you in Dalmellington....


could and maybe!!! C'mon you can do better than that come out and play :)

[JamesMio]

Thar' she blows...

This time Google Map's has decided it's an extra 18 miles, not 4 - but still better than cruising along the A75 speed camera paradise for any longer than needed.

[Bibio]

i'm in for any date. although J&S will hurt my brain to get there i will try my bestest to be there for 10:30.

[The Guru]

If its the 10th then I'm good for it. \\:D/

[SIII]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Can't believe your down my way and I'm in Edinburgh, Wifes birthday that weekend and she says she won't change it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gutted.

[fenjer]

I think I'll be in the peaks that weekend...

[TheRamJam]

could make this. I've just recently serviced the bike :-)

[GagginForraPint]

Looks good. Don't think I have any plans.

[carelesschucca]

i'm in for any date. although J&S will hurt my brain to get there i will try my bestest to be there for 10:30.

Do you want a route in? its not that bad, or even meet me in Scumbernauld?

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Allanshaw+Ind+Est,+1+Peacock+Drive,+Hamilton +ML39BG+(J+%26+S+Accessories+Ltd)&daddr=Unknown+road&geocode=FSsWUwMdJyLC_yEb2yyg2IQIcQ%3BFcZ-UwMdQSXC_w&hl=en&mra=dme&mrsp=1&sz=14&sll=55.79021,-4.05324&sspn=0.036144,0.13175&ie=UTF8&z=14

[Bibio]

numbncauld would be better (i think) but i have a fair idea of where i'm going tiz just the bloooody bit from bellshill road roundabouts that gets me

[yoda650]

Might well come along for part of this, meeting main group in Dallmellington and do part of the route before work at 1430. Confirm closer to the time.

Bob.

[Milky Bar Kid]

Come along might well part of this I may be, main group at Dalmellington I will meet and before work part of route I do. Closer to time confirm I will.

Bob.

Corrected ;)

[Bibio]

just had a thought, i could rig the spaznav up :-) so problem solved.

[The Guru]

Corrected ;)

:smt081


Ehh I might just meet you's in Cumbernauld as well if thats ok.

[peterco]

If meeting in Cumbernauld ,wherabouts?

Mcdonalds/Asda ?

[peterco]

Will not be going on this run.

Working.

[Bibio]

or i was going to suggest a little further along the road and harthill services.

[carelesschucca]

James....fancy meeting me at Ken Bridge and riding up to Dalmellington that way?

[carelesschucca]

We should make it there for just after 11.30.

I've not looked at the weather for sunday I'm too scared...

[TamSV]

We should make it there for just after 11.30.

I'll get there a bit earlier to rub in the coconut oil and soak up some rays. :cool:

I've not looked at the weather for sunday

I haven't either. :p

[JamesMio]

And what time should we be at Dalmellington for?

James....fancy meeting me at Ken Bridge and riding up to Dalmellington that way?

Aye, in theory... My bike's still in bits in the garage, so it'll depend on whether madam's alright with me nabbing hers again.

I'll let you know nearer the time dude.

[STRAMASHER]

Dry roads and sunny since youse left Ged!

Gotta keep the faith!

[gedt5]

sorry andy,it just got to wet out in the leathers for me mate.we did carry on to cumnock but it wasn't letting up so just headed home.

also nearly had a big off at the road to muirkirk from strathaven.i hit the metal plate on the midle of the small bridge and had a big tank slapper left and then right,just managed to slam my left foot down to keep me upright and it also somehow straightened the bike up for me.jim and tam were right behind me when it happened and jim still doesn't know how i didnt go down. me neither.

[STRAMASHER]

Ooofff!

That plate is dangerous enough in the dry, just feckin stupid in the wet. Don't blame u for packing it in after that. Bloody CHANGE of leathers more like!

[Blue Flame]

Enjoyed the day out today. After that first ten minute spell of rain it stayed dry and bonny.

[littleoldman2]

Thanks for a great day out, really enjoyed it. Total for the trip 405.
Cheers Mal

[carelesschucca]

Thats a bit of a bummer Gedt5 hopefully see you next time.

Good run. Cheers guys.

That's the only bike pic I managed today. To make up for it here's a pic of Carelesschucca and Blue Flame checking out a Yurt, or Ger, as used by the nomadic tribes of Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan. Very educational these Ecosse rideouts. ;)
