Regular Rideout - West Coast?
 

Being a proper noob, not just to the forum but to biking in general (cbt on July 19, full license aug 27!) I just wondered whether there was a regular group ride out at all? I really like the idea of something like a breakfast run once or twice a month on a Sunday but haven't seen anything on here like that.

Anyone do this already or interested in starting something like this before this "summer" skips straight to winter?!

I normally do frequent trips to the Carbeth Inn and back if your up for it. Although they are usually a last minute thing depending on weather etc. In fact am going a wee run up there tonight about 6.30 ish should be up there around 7.30 or there abouts. If your in the Glasgowish area PM your moby number and i txt you. Last Sunday me and a friend went a run Carbeth, Aberfoyle, Callander, Carbeth then home

Cheers

The other option of course is to organise your own "breakfast run" Weegie.

If you put it out there people generally turn up. :)

Well, I went on a nice little run this morning with a guy I passed my test with. East Kilbride - Strathaven - muirkirk - Cumnock - New Cumnock - Dalmellington (think that's what it's called!) - Ayr, then back down the M77 and home through Fenwick and Eaglesham. Excellent run!

I don't really know anyone else with a bike so can anyone recommend a nice route that puts me back on the M8 or M77?

Lol, gotta watch yourself in areas like Dalmellington! Rough as! Geed auld Ayrshire!

I'd be up for a west coast ride. In Ayr and used to heading out the route you described. Post something up next time you fancy it ..

Aye, I skipped it this weekend. I may be a Manchester lad but even for me, it was a bit rough.... ;)

Will do. Probably won't be this weekend but I'll try to sort something once a month at least. None of my mates ride so it will at least make it a bit more enjoyable for me rather than bumbling along on my lonesome!

Re: Regular Rideout - West Coast?
 

Aye, if we had a meetin point in Ayr, even I might be able to make it!

What about Kilmarnock? Is that about half way?
