........... & there's more!

Lot of fun to be had in the C's indeed. In the A's, Cedric bossed the elimination as usual. Chapeau sir. Stevie, Sam and I in the C's, always difficult predict form and Stevie was not in his usual top 3 slots tonight. Sam and I made up for it, that's the benefit of the team , only race we didn't really feature was the points. Tempo, 1st Sam, 3rd me Scratch, 2nd me, 3rd Sam Points, 6 me (outside chance of top 5), Stevie 2 and Sam 1 I think Elimination, 1st Sam, 2nd me

Well looks like the plan is back on, Myself, David Cathcart and David Borland(Once he figures out the PBP Webiste) Inspired by and following in the footsteps of JWCC PBP Legend IRONMAN Campbell will attempt the 1200km ride... To be honest when we talked about it in the pub I thought they were talking about the Famous Paris Brest French dessert... Only a matter of riding a 200, 300, 400 and 600km before June, If anyone else is interested in coming and has a qualifying ride last year 300km and in a week 200km can pre-register let us know! Weirdos Welcome!

Aye good day to be out. Would agree with Colin that the bunch riding of the 930 was real smooth. Jumped ship to get the 900 bunch up the haylie and that also functioned as a good unit. Was planning to cut off at kilbirnie but was lured back to try Gerards cakes and have to say they were brillant as were the energy bars. Sorry Alan, still can't stand parsnips. Worked off some of the calories by returning on the back roads to kilbirnie in spring like conditions ..fab day.

At long last ............ it's done

I have had better starts to a ride, not getting onto the bike track proper before puncturing from all the glass shards. That meant a bit of a push on my own to catch up with everyone else, not helped by me not paying attention to the route. There is something quite amazing and heartwarming to see everyone waiting for you, so a big thank you to everyone who was there, a new measure of reliability. Maybe I should also post up recipes for Paul Leavy.

Cracking day indeed. Well drilled bunch, thanks chaps. Thats how the main bunch should be. Gutted I missed that soup, waited all week for it. Cakes? Missed those home-made bad boys also. Cheers folks.

Hi Folks this thread has gone a bit quiet but I believe a few people are still interested. John, Ian and myself have booked flights for 6th June to 11th June. Flights are 6/6; Jet2 7.15am (LS177) 11/6; Ryanair 15.00pm (FR2521) Hope to see a few more heading for España.

let me find the right moment to break to the good lady. Watch this space........

Hmmm after doing more research it will charge my Garmin about 10 times... I can just follow DavieB at night

You're actually taking lights...impressed.

A social work intervention is required to save you from yourselves

Aye Greg that's exactly what the main bunch should be, best discipline I've seen for years.

First go at the CX today, dug out my 10 year old kit, last worn about 2 stone ago and decided my tactic would be start at the back and try my hardest to stay there. A bit apprehensive I stayed near the rear of the race to begin with, and soon found myself pegging back some places. Just as i thought it was all going well, the race got fairly strung out, with the fast group miles ahead, there were no more targets. Around the 40 min mark Cedric came flying past to lap me with apparently no effort. The dismount needs a bit of work, coming to a stop to get back on, apparently isnt the mist time efficient. Got to the finish with no crashes and not in last place, a resounding success! Well done to Cedric who i believe won by a country mile on a warm sunny day.

09:30 bunch rolled out up the cycle path and down the Clune, with a view to catching up with the main 9am bunch which we did at Gourock. We cracked on into Largs and figured we'd wait on the 9am bunch and see what folk are doing. Even had time for a quick coffee - thank you @Darryl Gunson for that We then chose the standard route through Dalry via West Kilbride, and back via cycle path. It was here where I started to feel like I was going to hit the wall (I forgot to take out my lights and food with me - d'oh!) and sure enough heading through Kilbarchan I quickly ran out of energy. Thanks @Scott for the Fruit Pastilles A well disciplined bunch - great bunch riding with everyone taking a spell. Thanks guys for letting me sit at the back over the last few miles. Hope to be out next week but a bit time constrained so may be the 'short' route. Will wait and see nearer the time.

Anyone recognise the guy on the right advertising the etape!, great run today and thanks for those who supplied the grub at the clubrooms, unfortunately never got one of Gerard’s cakes thanks to Paul leavy until next week

Big group of 9am Jets and sandbaggers nice run down the coast in pleasant weather, well done to Mairi on her first club outing! making it to Largs. Thanks to AlanT and his wife for delicious soup and my own personal patisserie(Gspot) for supplying the eclairs(Sorry if you didn't get to try one! I had one and a half, I have cake issues). Good fun!

Spotted this deal online 15 function multi tool, most appealing bit for me is the chain tool £5.50 currently, hard to beat! https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/ribble-multi-tool-r-mt/

Good day out today, hope everyone else enjoyed it too. It turns out the cakes were a thank you to the Jets for pacing me up the Haylie?!

remember to enter !

would love to and working on it just back from xxx's in Murcia so need to pick a moment !

Great stuff have fun. Campbell

Thanks Chung, found the culprit when I got home.

Hi Ramsay, I’ve actually still got the bar tape to do, so haven’t taken any “finished” pictures yet :-0 I will definitely post some up when I have ........... man, I’m really milking this, ain’t I Please be patience & bear with me :-) Cheers

The best comments are from people who are worried that it will increase congestion around their school pick up times. You really couldn't make it up but it is a natural reaction when the whole area is car centric.
