18/6/08 Subject:- Arran Weekend
We had a cracking weekend in Arran. The Shore Lodge accommodation was top class with comfortable rooms, great cooking facilities, washing facilities, dining room and living room all within walking distance of Brodick.

After arrival on Friday Bob Alexander led a ride up over the Ross Road over to the West coast and back over the String road. Two good climbs to whet the appetite for the weekend. We met for a few beers after we got back then headed back to the lodge for a bite to eat. Another few beers in the evening was followed by stumbling (literally) across a beach bonfire party. The planned early night for the big run on Saturday went oot the windae ! We enjoyed a great couple of hours lying in the sand under the stars with the fire crackling away listening to some guitar. Magic !

Not so great the 7.30am start on Saturday after 4 hours sleep ! There were 2 groups today. Kenny, Les, Bob Alexander and I headed to Lochranza and caught he 9:30 ferry to Claonaig. We then rode across to Kennacraig and then enjoyed a wind & Kenny/Les assisted blast down to Campbeltown. It was a hard run back up the other side and we were relieved to get some food near Carradale before a mad dash to Claonaig to catch the 3pm ferry with 5 mins to spare.

The other group stayed on Arran with some going round the island and others heading back over the String road. We all met up for a beer at Corrie in the afternoon and ate back at the lodge. Saturday evening was fairly quiet with everyone quite tired.

Sunday had a trip round the Island planned. I gave this a miss as I was feeling a bit rough from a cold I had picked up. However by 11am I was getting itchy feet and decided to climb Goat Fell and was rewarded by fantastic views in all directions. The various parties met up in the afternoon and we had another communal meal at the lodge before heading out for a final relaxed beer to bring the weekend to a quiet civilised conclusion.

The weekend was a big success and everyone seemed to be up for doing the same around this time next year. So keep your eyes peeled on the website if you fancy coming along.

30/5/08 Subject:- Club 25
A reminder that the club 25 has been postponed for 2 weeks due to roadworks on the course, so Thursday 5th June will be a TT round the Glen and the 25 will be on the 19th June.

The club run from Killin on Sunday was blessed with good weather and I think everyone enjoyed the run despite the tough climb at the start and the rollercoaster ride along the south side of Loch Tay. The photos can be seen here
