A Burners Guide to (some of) the Historic Landmarks of the Pennyglen Loop

One of our most popular and commonly-used routes is a loop of Pennyglen, preferably clockwise, returning back to Ayr along the coast road with stunning coastal views. While we’re typically concerned with PBs or worrying about the next hilly section, we actually pass (and totally miss) loads of historic sites without realising it. So a…

QTS Sponsorship Update

Despite the coronavirus pandemic, 2021 starts on a positive footing for the Burners as we proudly announce the continuation of our long-standing relationship with the good folks at QTS.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year and welcome to 2021 to all Burners, friends, family and sponsors (more on that on a forthcoming post) – let’s hope it’s an improvement on 2020 !!! As usual, 1st January saw us gathering for the traditional New Year’s Day ride. However, as well as the long-standing ride up to the Masts,…

New Year’s Day Mast Ride

It’ll come as no surprise that this (next ?) year’s Ne’er Day Mast Ride will be a bit different from previous year’s rides. Instead of a peloton of 20-30 going up in a big group, we’re going to split into smaller bunches so that we comply with all current regulations and socially distance as appropriate….

This session is led by a fully trained volunteer, and includes…

Ronde van Ayrlanderen 2020

The fabled cobble will have a new name for 2020 !!! The winners of the 9th Ronde van Ayrlaanderen are … Alex Paterson and Sharon McNicol. Having been delayed from its usual spring slot, the 9th Ronde was a slightly strange affair, run under cool autumnal conditions, with two groups out on the road rather…

Ardnamurchan Gravel Ride

We’re going to run occasional write-ups of Burners rides away from the familiar roads of South Ayrshire. Here’s the first about a scenic gravel ride in Ardnamurchan. Please share your experiences, and we’ll publish them here too (no cash will change hands !!!). This could actually be posted on Paisley Velo’s site, as I was…
