  1. Enjoy it Mark, as it turns out I'm heading to Amstel the week before
  2. Great wee APR this morning in fantastic weather with Murray showing the old guys how its done with a fine win, chapeau to him Lots of great new surfaces round the Admiralty but still a couple of craters ! Ideal for this sort of thing 😁
  3. Just posting a follow up to the Whatsapp message - there is an informal APR planned for the Barmill circuit on Saturday, I will be at clubrooms 9.30am to ride along track to Glengarnock for anyone who wants to join. Everyone is welcome and there will be generous time gaps to encourage an early group to stay away ! Good response so far with about 10 confirmed. Look forward to seeing more on Saturday morning if you can make it.
  4. Emma and I have entered the mighty Ronde van Vlanderen 2022 and really hope we are able to go ! Not booking any travel or accommodation until we see how things pan out, if it is on then we will be there for the full bhoona route.
  5. Hi Ramsay Myself and daughter Emma thinking about it if we can get an entry. Entries not open yet but keeping an eye on it, I guess it could end up full with carry overs ! My plan would likely be to fly to Amsterdam, hire car etc with Emma getting train from London where she lives. Keeping a watching brief
  6. Just a heads up that 8 of us are heading to Torrevieja area from Thus 24th Feb to Wed 2nd March. If anyone else interested please get in touch with me, Darryl or Billy. Transport for up to twelve is sorted by Billy with a mini bus and trailer for bikes. 4 of us still to book accommodation so would be good to know by next weekend and we can book a bigger villa. Cheers
  7. I have a pair of Roval C38 wheels for sale, bought in 2019 and used in the summer. Condition is excellent, the bearings are all super smooth and the freehub regularly stripped, cleaned and lubed. They are true as the day I got them. They are tubeless ready and I will dig out the tubeless valves if needed although I've never used them (hope I can find them!) as only run with tubes, will come with rotors (which will need replaced soon) and lockrings but not cassette. Best I can see online is £1,100. Sell for £600.
  8. Did re accred last night, not sure I'll be there first few weeks
  9. Thought it worth mentioning another astoundingly brilliant day on Arran where 5 of the 7 riders were JWCC members (although one missed the memo to wear the jersey😀) 3 new inductees to the Hall of Fame were Sean Delaney, John McGivern and Mark Cushley who are all regular Saturday bunchers, repeaters in the Hall of Fame were David Archibald, Richie Provan, Garry Dunn and myself so chapeau to all, 5 of our number finished a bit ahead and took the Island Loop KOM by a chunky margin on a near perfect day with virtually no wind. The weather was so brilliant it was a shame all we could really view was a 700x25 GP5000 and a rear hub !! The legend grows and I see another double taking shape in my crystal ball. Get training hard because you know you want to, Forza Arran Forever !
  10. Just to add to the colourful debate - it was Jan who dreamt up this one a good few years ago - big day out. As you can see on his Strava link we did the Mennock pass from the South which I reckon is best as psychologically you are a bit closer to home after the descent. Café stop at top of Mennock was very nice. I reckon when you get to Dungavel returning via Galston is best bet (don't listen to Archibald and his Eaglesham ) for simple reason roads are known and by that time you are thinking shortest way home ! Second café stop in Muirkirk always an option at the Greasy Spoon - home of the chicken burger. When we did it we didn't have a 2nd stop but did raid a supermarket in Darvel for as much chocolate and biscuits as we could eat. Have fun
  11. Hi Kenny Yes for me for any slots that become available thanks
  12. Yes for me Kenny - very late to this thread !
  13. Sorry, no, that sounds like a tricky one. I'm sure you've checked out google for solutions
  14. Just saw this, great memories, also made me think just how many decades I have been habbling down the Westferry 😁
