Scotland : Glasgow & Clyde Valley CC Ecosse Ride (West) - Now 12th October

[Deleted member 20519]

This was a route that we did last October (click here for the old thread) and I remember it being pretty good. I've created a Garmin Connect profile of the ride so that you can easily edit it or transfer to your Garmin device.

• The Ride: From Glasgow through Houston, Langbank, Kilmacolm, Lochwinnoch and back.
• Meeting Point: XScape centre at Braehead, starting at 10:30 am. Approx. 5 miles from Glasgow Central.
• The Route: Something close to this - 65 km / 40 miles
• Terrain: No big hills, but there are a number of short, steepish climbs. But do not worry, and remember the rules below.
• Time: About 3.5-4 hrs, depending on stops.
  
• Stops: Cake stop option in Lochwinnoch (approx 25 miles in).

The three key rules of CC Ecosse rides:
NO ONE gets left behind!
ANY bike will do!
There WILL be cake!

The date isn't set in stone, that was just the first weekend that I thought of. Are you both available any other dates?

 

[Louch]

Anytime after the weekend of the 5th October, that isn't the Langholm weekend

 

[Deleted member 20519]

I'm free whenever so if anyone else is interested, we could sort out a date.

Great ride, wrong date. I'll be 9 timezones away.

I could probably do any weekend day in October except the 5th and 26th.

 

[Deleted member 20519]

We could do Saturday the 21st, Sunday the 22nd, Saturday the 5th (Oct) or Sunday the 6th.

Can't make the 28th Oct or any weekend 2 weeks after that as im off on holiday, enjoyed that ride though

 

[mcshroom]

Sorry, running my own ride from Carlisle the night before, so couldn't make it on the 28th.

 

[Harry_Palmer79]

I can make the 21st but not the 28th or the 5th... possibly the 6th, but I would say I'm a maybe at best for this

 

[Rasmus]

Any decision on a possible change of date?
