9am at Doyles as usual, for two to three hours in the sunshine, hopefully. But it will be dry with light winds at least, 10 to 14 degrees, virtually tropical compared to normal.

Nice steady group of 8 out today, headed out through Fintry, up to Top-Of-The-World, descended into Arnprior, then round the Lake of Menteith. Took a left at Port of Menteith and another left at Rob Roy roundabout, then we turned off and up through Gartmore. The concencus was that we wanted to do the Pipe-Track, so we did. Our new rider got the knock quite badly on the slopes of that mountain, so we nursed him home after that, but a good morning out, hope to see more of you next week. Valuable lesson learned today for anybody who's not been out in a while, is eat a good breakfast, or you'll suffer later. Thursday is another training time trial at the same place, same time, 7pm, see you there.

A jolly nice ride this morning good to see everyone old and new faces alike. Shame about the drizzle but the bonus was the fact it hung around so long meant there was no wind to battle against. Lessons for the day? Always have some food and drink on board, it's a long way home on no fuel!! Top effort all round troops hope to see you on Thursday work permitting. Jez

Regarding the training time trial, I may change it, the winds turning and the Crow on will just be a headwind slog, I have a nice tailwind one planned, with no major mountains. Keep an eye on the Vorum for details once the forecast is more accurate.
