Mind and give a shout to jets team of Sammy and Conal if/when they catch you. 

I think this is more appropriate for me (as recommended by Martin Mul)

Planning on joining the 9 o'clock gang. Bringing 4 or 5 jets to put on the front and pull us along.

Unless you are a 1980’s American “bikie” who loves “pack sprints” & serving up “pain shakes” there is zero, I repeat, ZERO, excuse for calling Campagnolo “Campy” 
Kindly refrain from this non “rad” behaviour.

Not campagnolo. The end truly is nigh.

I'll crack the jokes! 

... and a day out in Ayrshire 

New JWCC Strava event posted today.

Have shared with jets via FB. Will email all members as well. 

Oh yes, we saw a sparrowhawk with prey on the verge too.  Just this side of Highfield. 

Good run until the legs fell off in Kilwinning - a heavy weekend and not enough food. 
See you all in  2 weeks - off to Arran for a Jets mtb weekend camp on Friday. 

Tough windy day but got a little glow of satisfaction now that I’m sitting in front of the fire with a beer.
Thanks to Charlie, with his vast experinace in mechanicals (and impatience) took over to change my tube tout suite.  Only to nip the new tube so end up with 2 punctures but the bunch had already disappeared up the road before I’d set off.  
Cut to me with a 2nd puncture doing a Fromey’ running up Fairly Moor as they disappeared over the hill.  I was actually running and pushing the bike faster than we had been cycling it!  And then you couldn’t make it up as one of Charlie’s ‘customers’ drove by and said “do you know Charlie McCusker he’s a Johnstone Wheeler?” and then kindly sped off to flag him down.  McC turned back and gave me a 2nd tube, which again he speedly swapped, to perfection, saved the day and all was ok with the World.
The thing I took from this is what I love about the bunch.  When things aren’t going well and you are in the proverbial it’s good to know that there are people there that you can fall back on to dig you out of it when needed.  Cheers lads.

Hi All
The Don Smith Memorial Ride 2019 is now live on BC
Sunday (3rd of March) sees the annual Don Smith Memorial Ride based at Lochbarr Services in Lochwinnoch
 
You will be able  to enter via the British Cycling website  HERE 
Please let me know ASAP if planning to enter as require to let caterers know numbers attending 
For those who are new to the event, there are three rides available to participate in:
Short Route - http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/368004877
Medium Route - http://www.mapmyride.com/gb/lochwinnoch-sct/jwcc-don-smith-45mile-ride-2012-route-72414462
Long Route - http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/1002950791

Event HQ, Lochbarr Services, Newton Of Barr, Lochwinnoch, Renfrewshire, PA12 4JB
 
Are you able to assist?
Route checking - Each of the routes requires to be checked against the Risk Assessment (which has been done) prior to the event, This would either be Friday, Saturday or early Sunday morning. Note that this can be broken into segments and spread around a number of volunteers rather than one person checking the whole route(s). We're generally looking for roadworks / closures / really obvious issues with quality of roads as riders are expected to follow the rules of the road and any official diversions in the case of roadworks, etc...
 
Sign On Desk - Smiling and taking people's money as they register for the event. Required from 8:30am until latest 10:30am (Note that this would not preclude your from riding). We just need a few club members willing to help before everyone sets off.
As ever looking for volunteers. If you can help post up or pm us... 
 
Cheers
 
Paul, David and Eric

Will probably tag along for a bit, at least until Stewarton then bale for Luggie and home. I hope its better (warmer) weather than yesterday. Cold is not good, sleet is just horrible. Binned my ride after 2 hours due to iced up digits. 
M

horrible weekend Mark not helped by a lone ride to Largs then a kicking to keep up. Need to get out my bed earlier on a Sunday

+1 to all the comments above. Great bunch, mental drivers. Thanks for the kicking and the tow. 

Sun splitting the sky just as I wheeled the bike into the garage. Never a fan of the road but a good run nonetheless the usual bonkers driving on display the only good thing to say is that they seem not minded to shout abuse at you like their brethren in Dunbartonshire.

Gents, I am finalising costs for flanders accomodation, as all beds are now taken (unless grown-up share doubles), so shout now if any changes.
Names I have are Chung, George Donnelly, Paul Leavy, Ian Carvill (+brother-in-law), Glen Irving, Alex Mclean and Scott Johnstone.
Costs and payment details to follow later this week.
