Yes, clockwise Galeb. And may the force be with you, its all in the pacing and you will cream it ! Be fantastic to get a spread of entries in the hallowed Hall of Fame this year

Good job again Jan Calm approach to roundabouts will become a habit if we all play our part when on the front I can give first 3 in sprint, Sam, Marc, me, then don't know.

should be

Sounds grand Colin, I am away this weekend so no cycling

Almost I have a shimano 12-23 cassette. You can have it if ratio not too large.

Gerard My apologies, there is a vets race that day which I would like to do. I could help out early morning if that helps up to about 9am

I’m absentee again, abroad with work

away on business

Yip, good to see you too Iain and get a chance to catch up on ferry. Ended up a bit of an epic yesterday to make the most of the drier (although it was pretty damp up the Rest) weather. Ended up with 180km. Totally burst - scary bit is that it was a few km short of a DA

Evening all, with the lesser interest in Arran this time we have reverted to plan B. Which is Erskine Bridge 9am for a run to Dunoon via Glen Fruin. 5 signed up so far - pace will be Arran challenge type pace which is 20mph average. Myself, Andy, Richie and a couple of other club's riders are doing this tomorrow anyone welcome

Conditions are perfect for a clockwise Single Arran on Saturday. For those who did an anti clockwise in April then this is further and thorough training for the mythical double in August. Best to know the details both ways. Or put another way - any excuse for an SA. Usual format of riding at pace required to achieve challenge. Anyone up for a cheeky single on Saturday ? If I know early I will also ask some neighbours from the Messenger group bunch.

Very well done guys, pretty amazing performance and stories

2 x tyres removed from new bike. Unused. 700x28c. Best price I can see is £16 each. Anyone want them for £20 ?

I am selling my Scott Foil Team Issue HMX carbon bike. It is the 2015 model and the range topping frame. Those that know me know I am pretty OCD about keeping bikes in good running order (I actually enjoy stripping and greasing !!) so it is in very good condition. Brief spec is, 52cm (small) Scott Foil HMX 2015 frame. Front fork replaced so the decals are white not red. Ultegra 6870 Di2 groupset. Rear mech upgraded to Ultegra 8050. Zuus 50mm carbon wheels. Rear hub upgraded to Miche Primato (the rear hub supplied just did not meet my OCD criteria). Brand new Michelin Pro 4 tyres. See pictures below Bike as pictured (without pedals and I've removed the bottle cages to another bike) - £1,500. Can be flexible and sell without wheels as would be quite happy to keep the wheels, for £1,250

Yes thanks for the tow and great to see you guys pushing out the watts. For the 2nd week in a row I was hingin. There is no skin left on my nails. Repaired to the BB with my daughter whom I met in Largs then headed over the Fairlie Moor where the wee bit of nail stub that was left disappeared.

Possibly Jan if early doors Saturday. Would a cross bike fit the bill?

Excellent stuff, sounds like a belter

Advance notice for an away day on Saturday. Andy and I looking at option to do Ayrshire Alps early doors Saturday. 65 mile loop with 5 decent climbs. Leaving Minishant 0830 (its a 50 min drive from Johnstone) Who might be up for it, this is a fantastic run in beautiful country and more importantly is good prep work for Arran

Complex chap ! Maybe the lack of sprint wins on the Gtown is pushing him over the edge

Nae luck Jan. I punctured too before Bishopton so had time to change and head over West Glen to Kimacolm just in time to catch the bunch. I can only let you know it was Marc then me at the finish then don't know after that. Chapeau Elaine - next week Bishopton

off to take a sedative now..………..

Chapeau Ian, I am very happy for you and I have great respect for my elders. I am also very happy I was not there to witness it as I might have recurring nightmares.

Lord above, or even J Esus, that's a pretty decent effort! Cedric for the DA - I've got to get rid of the DA tee shirts one day

Bogs bunch at 7pm was fine last night and it was a darkish night. And that was without a captain of industry driving the pace to try and shake off the sprinter types c u at 6.30 then
