Southside roadride – Thursday

  By

Leaving Crookston around 6.45pm (Barrhead Rd / Crookston Rd) junction about 6.50pm. 25 miles via Barrhead, Gateside, Braes, descend to Howood and return via Paisley. Any takers? there will be at least 3 or 4 on ride so far, pace quick but not fast if you know what I mean! 🙂

About StephenM

Part of the paisley peleton, kidding on to be a cyclocrosser as it is more socially acceptable than a roadie?... not enough much dirt, but way too much tarmac :-) my bike is often found outside coffee shops around renfrewshire or gleaming on the trails when it should be proper muddy!

    Stephen – I’m not going to be over for this one but if anyone fancies a rural road jaunt a bit further ‘southside’ and less west, I will be heading out similar time on Thursday for a 25 miles spin round the quiet roads of South Lanarkshire – EK-Jackton-Auldhouse-Strathaven-Whitelee area. Its a fairly undulating loop and 15-18mph range. If anyone fancies it post up and we can sort a meeting place (most likley Lidl at Hairmyres)

    Iain, I would normally jump at the chance of this ride but cannot do this Thursday (but possibly next week, but only able to confirm later that day). Please keep me posted of future EK rides as would be ideal for me after work. Normally, Thursdays are ok, but would struggle to make a Wed or Fri. I’ve been working in EK for ~8.5 years and still never managed to ride the route you suggested.

    Gerry – no probs. I often head out Mon/Tue or Thu/Sat in that area, particularly if roads are dry and trails are manky. There is some lovely road riding to be had – the norm over a 90 min ride at this time of year is 3 cars, 4 tractors, 6 horses and 20 roadies 🙂 Will post up and we can try and get a wee club ride going soon.

    cheers

    was trying not to hijack, hence put up as a comment rather than a new post !

    No worries… ride still on, Alan L is out, but Reuben on and maybe any other of the Southside regulars too. We will do our classic loop, some big climbs and swoopy descents. I think I may have tendonitis so pace not too fast (hopefully) – probably caused by doing saturday morning time trials and pushing a 50×11 on the flat… must remember to stretch first!
