Scotland : Glasgow & Clyde Valley CC Ecosse Three Ferries Saturday 21st March

I'd be happy with that

Here is a TCX of the route if anyone wants one. This one stays on the main road after the big climb, rather than following the loch side, but either way suits me If you stay on the main road you get one climb and a longer descent, the water side road is very up-and-down, narrow and bumpy.

Just saying... ok, it's not exactly predicting wall to wall but it'll do!

That would do nicely

Very good point, how could I have forgotten?

 

[Telemark]

Is anybody else train-ing it across to Wemyss Bay or Branchton from Edinburgh, or from Glasgow Central?
I haven't looked up the connections yet ... Last year it wasn't possible for us Easties to get to WB, as the ride was on a Sunday, but it should be OK on a Saturday.

Who is planning on meeting at Wemyss Bay?

 

[Harry_Palmer79]

I'm giving some thought to cycling to the start (though I think I'll stick to the train on the way back) and turning it into a four ferries ride! which would take me over 100km for the first time this year, with the added bonus of an extra point in the 50km a month challenge!

4 ferries?

 

[Edwardoka]

The Renfrew ferry, I'm guessing. He's too good for the Clyde Tunnel or the Erskine Bridge

 

[Fubar]

Have a good one Lads and Lassies, hope the shines on your backs.

Yep... I could use the tunnel, though I'm not a fan tbh, also taking the ferry makes the route a little shorter (which means I don't have to get up so early!) The ferry operator said they run about every five minutes early in the morning and it's only a short hop so should be pretty quick!

I like to pretend I'm in a zombie movie when I go through the Clyde Tunnel. Although I once emerged in Govan on Giro day so it was more than believable

I've only ever driven through it, was a strange experience

Me! Looking to get there about 9am

Different tunnels There's even a strava segment iirc but it keeps getting flagged.
