First Monthly Ride Of The Year!!!

Some of us were unfortunately unable to tag along on Sunday. Give us a virtual tour of your sunny Sunday ride. Any photos ready for Flickr?

Poster ideas for Wheelers

Here are two poster ideas to promote Glenmarnock Wheelers. They both work on the same theme.

‘We’re the best’ on poster two is only used to fill space that can be used for key messages aimed at different audiences – it’s not the actual text that would be used. We welcome your feedback – what is your favourite?

Icons like the wheel and the riders can be used on various leaflets and even business cards. The posters are high enough resolution to be blown up to A3 and even banner size for various events such as the South East Club Nights.

Postponed Monthly Ride

Sorry guys ride’s off for tomorrow – the route’s got a bit of a hangover due to a heavy week of snow, sleet, and rain, and roads are closed. Don’t lose the faith – it’s been re-organised for 7th March!!!

Why not take the chance to make it up to Calderglen Country Park for 10.30am. Join in the 30 mile ride with a laid back group of guys, there’s even time for tea and a scone. It’s the ideal way to forget for a while that you have your crap work to go back to on Monday.

Weekend Map 28th Feb 2010

Hi Brian
 
Here is a map for the Run on Sunday. Hope this is ok Martyn i lost your maps.

Route for this Sunday

How many are going on Sunday, we should try and arrange cars?

Hya folks, yes, here comes the first of the monthly rides. So, here comes the chance to use all that secret training you have been doing or just take it easy and sociably for a ride(s) through some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
The first ride will start and finish in Helensburgh or, rather just through Helensburgh. From the railway station (lower), just off the main street, take the main road along the waterside until you come to a car park on your left, there is a Public Convenience and we will meet there. (In the car park, not the toilet!!!!)
From there we head north along the lochsides to Arrochar where there is time for a brew. Then over to Tarbet and down the Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond.
For those worried about this road, the time that we should be going down it is reasonably quiet and also as long as you ride sensibly there is room for us. But, if you want a breather you can always stop again at Luss for another brew.
Further down the road we take a right turn and over the hill back to Helensburgh.
Last year we were blessed with blue skies on a lovely day, it’s a bit earlier in the year this time but, let’s keep our digits crossed.
So, see you all in Helensburgh at 10 a.m., on Sunday 28th February.
