Saturday 3rd May – Fairlie alps and social

Graham and myself have been talking for a while about getting a club ride at my local spot in the hills around Fairlie and Largs. As here is nothing in the calendar for the first weekend in May, and the trails have finally dried out, we’ve decided this would be a good time.

This is a good chance to get a wee bit of a sociable ride too, as cars aren’t really required from Glasgow. Plan would be something along the lines of train from Glasgow to Dalry, which gives a nice 6 mile warm up on quiet country lanes, and gives great access to the moors and trails within.

Spot of lunch and a beer in the Village inn, Fairlie (Schiehallion on draft, liver and bacon… Yum!) and back out, either finishing up in Largs, by way of the new purpose built trails at kelburn, or West Kilbride, both of which are on the train line back to Glasgow.
