Saturday Feb. 3rd. @ 10.00am - 15 miles
Jackie S. heads out from Prestwick for the coffee stop at Hayes Garden Centre before returning to Prestwick.
Expect to visit Monkton, Symington, Corraith and Troon along the route.
Some hills along the way (this is Ayrshire after all!) taken at a relaxed pace.
Registration closes Thursday Feb. 1st. @ 18.00
Sunday Feb. 11th. @ 11.00am till Midday - Your choice of miles
Nominated meeting point is the Community cafe in Kirkmichael.
Just be there between 11.00 and mid-day to meet up with like minded cyclists for coffee/snacks and a chat.
Choose your own route there and your own route back at whatever pace makes you happy, to make the day as long or as short as you desire ...
DIY events are a good opportunity for non-members to come along and chat to club members to get a feel for what we offer as a club.
No registration required for DIY events.
Just turn up if you feel like it.
Sunday Feb. 18th. @ 10.00am - 18 miles
Clive S navigates his way round a 20-mile route through Monkton to Bogend (near lunch stop) returning via (or near) Earlston, Templeton, Corraith and Fullarton.
While this route has similarities to the Women's Ride on 3rd February, it is slightly longer using some different (but still quiet) roads.
Once again, Hayes Garden Centre is the chosen venue for the lunch stop.
Registration closes Friday Feb. 16th. @18.00
Sunday Feb 25th. @ 10.00am - 30 miles.
Jamie W. takes us on a hilly route south from Kirkmichael then over Glenalla before heading right and right again over Glengennet.
Returning via the Girvan valley.
No coffee/lunch stops during the ride.
Optional coffee stop in the Community cafe after the ride.
The aim is to complete the ride in 3 hours to be finished by 1.00pm.
So, you should be able to average 10mph over hilly terrain before registering for this ride.
If you can't go 30 miles without eating then bring snacks to eat "on the go".
Registration closes Friday Feb. 23rd. @18.00
