West Coast rides thread

Both routes look like tough but rewarding routes.


How did you get on last Friday Andy?

I've got three weeks in July when the gaffer is away with the kiddies at her folks' house en France. Which means I have 21 beautiful guilt-free days of riding (bikes) to entertain myself with.

Hoping to get a couple of decent road rides in (maybe Arran, or Three Ferries, or some kind of Rest 'n' Be Thankful loop) and no doubt a couple of off-road forays too (I can suggest some Argyll trails, but anything on the 'mainland' will need to come from others).

I'll post up again nearer the time with a better idea of plans, but is there any appetite for getting something set up amongst the West Coasters?

No . MacRetro / Retrobike is not affiliated to any clubs as far as I know.

Re:

I shall be taking a couple of MacRetro compadres round some local trails on Monday night if anyone is interested. Fairlie and Kelburn. I wouldn't say it's exactly retro friendly though, couple of guys have done but I don't think they exactly enjoyed it. Will be about 1800/1830 at Fairlie.

Who's going , ZZ ?

Tweedlove enduro this weekend, so I'd check what's open first. Be pretty busy in general around there just now.
