CC Ecosse (West) ride - Sat 19th Jan

[Rasmus]

I'm just home after an excellent day out in good company.

To those who invented excuses not to appear: You missed out!

Pictures will come off my phone later, but here's my gps data

An awesome ride with good company - great to meet you all.
Thanks for taking the initiative on this and showing us such a great route, Rasmus!
All in all I'm quite pleased that my broken wheel didn't ruin the ride!
Now to try to get warm again!

Looks like it was a great day out. Unfortunately I have the dreaded manflu so I'm confined to barracks at the moment

A thoroughly enjoyable day on a great route! I say this even though I had a bit of an uncomfortable return leg, much of which was marred by cramp in the quads. Heartfelt thanks to those who hung back with me in support, and particularly Andy with his 'Hand of God' on the hills
Nice to meet you at last Pat, and there will be a few photos coming up shortly

The good group shots were taken on GBC's camera, so I'll just show you a couple of the nice views of the Campsies we got along the way.

Really enjoyed the ride today...was great to meet up with the other six who made it along... and Pat! (cake was a wee bonus) :-) Just a little chilly with the odd patch of ice and my ride was nice and flat (hope the hill wasn't too tough) ;-)

My bike was here

Well done guys! You certainly meant business, bet there wasn't much competition around to scalp
It wasn't that cold today, after a mile or so on the bike one heats up. Still no snow, he he!
I quite fancy doing Rasmus's route myself, been up to the Loch but came back the same way I went.
Looking forward to see more pictures and a detailed report.
How did the broken wheel happen?

Aww, pics look great and you all look like you had fun - wish I'd made it along now!

It was a nice ride today on a route that I would never have picked out myself.

Not being a particular fan of cyclepaths it was a surprisingly plesant change to ride almost all the way to lomond shores without having to share space with traffic . The ride back was equally enjoyable with some great scenery and a few testing climbs. The low winter sun lit up the snow dusted hills a treat and the clear blue sky defied the reports of snow from other parts .

I managed to snap a few pics but made the classic mistake.. There are no cake pics !

. . It was really good to meet you all and will be seeing you all again..
