    Cool. I'm just in from work but i'll be there at 10am or just after, depending on how quickly i served a bacon roll and coffee. For those who don't fancy the 44 miles. There are quite a few train stations on the way there. Only one "incline", otherwise its an easy 20mph all the way. I need to get train at 12.53 back to glasgow. They are on the hour after that.

    Largs conquered!

    By myself and phunkymunky, with help along a goodly stretch of the way from conn artist. It was a brilliant day - the weather was much better out there than here in Glasgow and it was really beautiful along the coast on the final stretch. Sunshine and snow covered mountains across the water... I loved it.

    It had stopped raining by the time we set off at 10:30am and we didn't get wet along the way, so all was grand. Plenty of mist and fog, but some wonderful views when it cleared en route at points.

    Myself and phunkymunky reached Largs at 2:00pm and had a leisurely cup of tea & a slice of cake in a sea front cafe before heading home.

    First big ride of the year and I'm totally chuffed.

    Missed you NMK, you shouldn't be put off by a bit of drizzle, poor show lad!

    See what you can achieve when you abstain from alcohol! A lesson to us all.

    Many a man has got boozed-up on a Friday night and then cycled to Largs on a Saturday. What's all this "abstain from alcohol!" nonsense?

    PS even more men have got boozed-up on a Saturday night and then cycled to Largs on a Sunday.

    I did abstain last night, on purpose, at least on the alcohol front. I think the indecent amounts of haggis, neeps & tatties I consumed instead helped me greatly this morning. Tonight will be otherwise. Abstinance be gone...
