First monthly Run?
 

Been thinking due to boredom (Danger Will Robinson DANGER) about when we should have our first run of the year and where we should go.

Do we have an ice cream run to Largs? Do we just have a nice bimble out? Or do I give trying to organise monthly runs a miss and let someone else organise something.

What so I can get lost again

If you have been doing good runs out then keep it up. Unless of course your sick of it? But the people will appreciate the organised runs out no doubt and you can be happy about that :)

I'd say make the first a good un with fish and chips followed by ice cream ;) not that il be there but still :p

Chucca knows we all love him and his runs, he just needs a wee hug and a pat on the head occasionally. So you carry on buddy, just make more of them runs doon sooth so I can join in. D&G, Borders are rather lovely you know. wee run down to the mull of galloway, most southernly point?

Like Mr Bond - Nobody does it better, makes you feel sorry for the rest.

I can rarely make a Sunday run, but I quite often do some of the planned routes you post on my own on a Saturday.

So at least keep planning them :)

Re: First monthly Run?
 

To be fair until summer I struggle to make a Sunday due to playing football so if a Saturday run could happen that would be cool!

Just remembered I need to rebuild my bike first, balls...

Re: First monthly Run?
 

I voted for the ice cream run at end of March :-)

Probably won't have a bike but I might steal one of my brothers to do it. Been itching to get back on two wheels.

Sold most of the GSXR bits so I have a nice tidy deposit to put towards my next bike.

So defo keep them organised runs coming Dean as we do appreciate the time and effort that goes into planning them :-)

Re: First monthly Run?
 

I'm happy to make some of the runs a Saturday, I have no commitments to either Saturday or Sunday.

It's the routes that I find get more and more difficult, I know the roads I like and tend to pick them instead of trying something different. Its nice to ride something new once in a while.

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Largs ice cream late march. Cos we are still waiting for winter the noo!

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Just had a flurry of snow !!! Saturday's or sunday's for me too, makes no odds.

I would be happy to take the buck one month, will organise a wee run roon D&G, stay away from Borders till after AR tho' Was thinking we never did the SW corner, crackin wee roads around whithorn. Ice cream in portpatrick is Ok. Even go see the lighthouse on the end.

End of April after Chucca's first run ?

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Sounds like a plan. :thumbsup:

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Im busy at work March, April & May so no Sundays off for me. Then same again August & September.

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Theres no harm on doing the borders you know. The AR is being run on roads we all know

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Nice, we can have a play on the Electric Brae.

I'm up for runs I can do up, round and back in a day.
Keep up the good work Dean we all enjoy the fruits of your work.

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Done the Ayr to Portpatrick run many a time but always happy to do it again, love it. Haven't went right down to the lighthouse so that would be good also...

Maybe even make it for a stop at the waterfall at Glentrool if I don't need to rush off this time!

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Oh yeah Electric Brae!

And there be my steed in front of the sign...

Re: First monthly Run?
 

When's it happening then ??? Come on Dean, git yer Airse in gear and get this planned, it's not like you have anything else in your life to do.

GOOGLE MAPS are calling .........

;-)

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Easy sir the polls not finished yet!!!

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Right Deano, the time has come... whats happening?

Re: First monthly Run?
 

We're going to Largs in late March.

Re: First monthly Run?
 

For ice cream.

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Date? Time?

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Last Sunday in March I would think, time route and anything else important will be posted ASAICB!

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Being as that's what I voted for, I'm in!

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Thats baws.. I'm working Sundays so I'm out.

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Sorry bud its not done on purpose.


I gotta admit that I'm struggling to find the enthusiasm to do a route for this. We could be boring and just do the normal Rest and Be Thankful/ferry route.

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Never! Burn the heretic! Ferry trips on rideouts 4 eva!

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Right where do you guys think would be best to start this run. I'd normally have picked Gericke but that's not possible. Its it wrong to use the road outside Victor Devines or would we be better to use the petrol station on Great Western Road?

Petrol station on Great Western Road

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Theres a very slim chance I might be able to make this... :-k

Re: First monthly Run?
 

I am going to try and make the full run this year. 263 mile round trip on the Gixxer - Any travelodges on Gt Western Rd ?

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Ah the enthusiasm of a new bike. Its great innit.

Re: First monthly Run?
 

The As Soon As I Can Be Bothered moment has come.


I have a couple of ideas (more than enough for me)


A - http://goo.gl/maps/gJaA7 its a little different to normal and some of the roads are V narrow but it gives some amazing views


B - http://goo.gl/maps/efYLT the normal route we take for this.


I'm guessing it could be a case of see what's happening on the day, First stop will probably be at the Pit Stop in Arrochar.

Re: First monthly Run?
 

No can do, I will unfortunately be in Florida (Yay!). Have fun chaps.

Re: First monthly Run?
 

How dare you go to somewhere warm while we're out in the cold...


Have a great time in Florida.

Re: First monthly Run?
 

I know, I do need to sort out my priorities!

Cheers, I will probably be gagging to get on a bike in the sunny weather though...

Re: First monthly Run?
 

If Ecosse was a democracy, this would get my vote. The simple fact of the matter is we don't get to Tighnabruaich often enough. Or indeed ever!

Proper all day route mind you, so sucking and seeing might very well be the thing.

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Is route A the one me you and Stramasher done last year?

Re: First monthly Run?
 

Kinda just opposite direction round the argyle bit. Well I think it is I haven't checked the routes in a wee while.

Re: First monthly Run?
 

This event is starting to look pretty big in the window. Yippee!

A couple of tiny details, hardly worth mentioning, that I'm missing. My fault entirely I'm sure.

Where & when are we meeting and what route are we taking?

See you Sunday. :-)
