West Coast - Ayr Rideout

[TheRamJam]

Who's all meeting at EK at 08.30 then??

I will be coming with a mate and maybe another biker too.

I shall be there, McBreakfast in hand!

For those wanting to leave from EK it's McD's drive thru leaving at around 830. Can you let me know who's setting off from there?

For those meeting at Ayr it's Dobbies at 10. Who's that gonna be?

I am hoping to be at Dobbies at 10 in Ayr. Shame we didn't run today - weather cracking down here. Just hope its same for next week???????
Can any of the locals recommend somewhere near Dobbies to get a breakfast roll from???

Good work SIII! Do we know if we're going to stop somewhere for a bit of lunch or are we just riding on throughout?

I really hope it's a nice day weather wise - especially as this weekend was perfect weather for a run out. If it's raining I'll be gutted!

Roughly 1/2 way along the route is Roadkill Cafe(Clatteringshaw Visitor Centre and Cafe), on the banks of Clatteringshaw Loch. Would be a good place to stop for a spot of lunch or buy a mars bar and a brew. And has toilets.

Of course this is very weather dependent as if its wet and windy - it is a very exposed spot.

BBC website is showing showers on Saturday moving south in the evening and nothing much behind them. Fingers crossed it's a nice dry day. I'm not too good in the wet

I have just remembered my child has a better social life than me and actually has a friend staying over on saturday - so no bike fun for me. boo hissss.
