Hi Paul, I have some rusty ones in the garage somewhere. May or may not be functional, will check.

Hi Darryl, @chung has alerted me to this thread. You still got those 32 hole record hubs by any chance?

Hi all, Updated guidance from Scottish Cycling on training during the pandemic. In short - no intense efforts, keep it aerobic. We have been copied into guidance issued by SC performance coaches to their athletes advising against intense training and zwift racing. Good to know that we are already on that page in organising no drop zwift rides. Here's what they are saying: PLEASE NOTE NO HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING … no zwift racing right now. We can still do group rides on Zwift right now but keep it steady please … it is clear that you don’t want to be doing so much that is leaves you too tired and weakens your immune system. Scottish Institute of Sport medical advice right now: 1. Athletes with no symptoms should be advised to refrain from maximal sessions and we should be aiming at submaximal training for the next 12 weeks. There is an impact on your immune system if you do high level sessions…that makes you more vulnerable. We need to be protecting our immune systems. 2. If you are symptomatic / diagnosed with COVID-19, you must not do any training for at least 10 days ( possibly 14 days …we are debating the evidence at the moment ) and only then, if symptom free, can you start to do a stepwise increase over 7 days. This is because there is evidence of damage to lungs and heart. As you can imagine this advice is all based around keeping a super healthy immune system so eating and sleeping right will be paramount to that as well. I understand this is all very frustrating but please follow the advice if you can right now.

Will do

Hi Iain, would it be ok to extend this to the skinny whippets in the Jets?

Hi all, spotted this on fb today. Our favourite post ride watering hole is closing for the foreseeable. But even if you can't buy their beer you can still order pizze for home delivery. Just ask Alan McLean for recommendations. Have just ordered 4 myself. S

Cheers Billy, appreciated. Was a big surprise tbf but was chuffed to see the nomination came from a bunch of the Jets themselves.

Unfortunately Jets will be away at our spring camp in Berwick on Tweed so won't expect many youths for this one. Fingers crossed the weather picks up.

Fraser Elsby, Kyle Maitland, Fiona Davidson. Thanks for organising Alan. Not done that for a long while, but it didn't take long to remember why I don't like time trials.

6 jets

5 jets, 2 or 3 parent JWCC members

PS the descent to Bedoin is a cracker. Smooth tar, flowy corners, fast fast fast.

Echo what Billy says. The Bedoin route is the classic one, road from Sault is longer and easier, and the road from Maulecene is busy. Some good bars in Bedoin too.

Can recommend the local beer

Me. Jets too?

Any tips on where to fly and stay for a road bike holiday? Other than get an ebike....

Timekeeper Barrie?

Will be out as well. Thanks for organising Dave.

https://road.cc/content/news/269517-complaints-upheld-after-police-failed-act-against-driver-who-left-cyclist-spinal Shocking article about (ex?) member Campbell Hutcheson. I knew he'd been involved in an incident but never knew the circumstances. Pretty sure I saw him on a bike last week though, if you're reading this Campbell hope all is well. M

Hi Linda, we have a Whatsapp group from last year which I've just renamed to flanders 20. If you, George and Tommy want to message me your mobile numbers I'll add you in.

Hi George, good timing with the question. Got a reply from our landlord today to confirm the hostel is available and now has our name on it. We have two weeks to pay a deposit to secure fully. It's all below: base price for three nights is 1750Eu, plus 150EU cleaning, 60EU gas and electricity 80 - 100EU. So just over 2000Euro, and currently we have 13 (maybe 15) Jets and 3 wheelers (you, Linda, Tommy) = 160Eu a head. If we add more people the price per head comes down. Alan T, Dave and Carol are all candidates. Am also toying with inviting some of our friends at Hetton Hawks youth cycling club - the place can take up to 32 I think. There's a link to the property in his email. The pics don't really do it justice, as any of the crew from last year will tell you. It's just a k from the Haaghoek too, for cobble practice. ================== Hello Martin, I’d be delighted to welcome you and the Johnstone Jets and Wheelers cycling club again next year! The weekend of April 3rd to 6th 2020 is available. Conditions are the same. The rent of the house for a long weekend (3 nights) is 1.750 EUR. If you want to reserve, your reservation is complete and definitive from the moment the advance is paid. If requested, I can give you an option on this weekend for a period of 2 weeks. If there would be an other request for booking this weekend, you have the first chance to make your booking complete by paying the advance. The advance (875 EUR) has to be paid on bank account IBAN BE35 7363 0102 7137 BIC KREDBEBB (see details below). The second part of the rent (875 EUR) together with the warranty (500 EUR) and the cleaning cost (150 EUR) has to be paid 1 week before your weekend. The warranty is paid back 1 to 2 weeks after your stay with deduction of electricity, gas and eventual damage. The cost of gas is fixed (60 EUR), cost of electricity is according to consumption (0,50 EUR/kWh, normally around 80 to 100 EUR a weekend). When leaving the accommodation, tables must be clean, chairs must be put on the tables, the diches has to be done and the kitchen must be cleaned up. The rest is done by a cleaning company. For your information, you have to bring your own bed sheets and duvet or sleeping bags (pillows are provided). You also have bring your own towels. The kitchen is fully equipped, sauna is available. There is a storage room for the bicycles. Smoking in the accommodation is forbidden. Outside you can smoke. Animals are not allowed. You can also have a look at our website (unfortunately only in Dutch) www.buikberg.com.

Did Dave and Carol talk you into it? 😉

A bargain right enough Frank. If no wheelers take it I could share with the Jets - I'm sure one of them might be interested.

Enjoyed the gentle run this morning with Dave C and Ruairi Mul. We met Fiona D in Stewarton who didn't need much persuasion to join us for coffee. (Hope the car was where you left it in Irvine 😳) 63km door to door in the sunshine.

Me and the youngest will join you. No 30 sign sprints.
