  1. Despite depleted numbers compared to our previous APRs, we managed to get 3 groups organised. It was a perfect day for it. We were joined by new prospective members - Stephen and Chloe, as well as blast from the past - Mark Whitehead. Also, Eddie from Largs joined in with the second group. Scratch (Robbie, Murray, Richie) caught the 2nd group with 1 lap to go. Rob won the sprint. Most of the group returned to the clubrooms for refreshments.
  2. A date for diaries. Back by popular demand, the second of our spring APR training rides will be on Sunday 4th June. We will use the Greenacres circuit. First group will be off at 10.30. We will meet at the clubrooms at 9.30 and have a gentle cycle over. There will be generous time gaps for the early group (s). After the event folk are invited back to the clubrooms for food, and cycling on the big screen. We also intend to award prizes for last years’ events (see forthcoming separate message from Gerard). Hope we can get a good turnout!
  3. The Johnstone Wheelers’ summer APR will take place on Saturday 29th July. It is now live on ‘entrycentral’: https://www.entrycentral.com/Barrmill
  4. For all riders, this is to alert you to the fact that the descent into Howood off the Bowfield is currently very dangerous. Towards the bottom, just before the sharp left bend which takes you through the houses, the road is covered in water and slime. There has already been one serious accident The council has been informed. Take great care here.
  5. Wednesday: Social ride. 6.15 at clubrooms for 30 miles easy pace. hope to see some of you there
  6. Tuesday: sewing 🐝 route. 6.15 at clubrooms for 35 miles at a brisk but manageable pace. Weather looks good. Hope to see some of you there. Cheers

  12. I’ll open the clubrooms up at about 8.30. Paul McD is bringing soup and cake. Feel free to bring something else along to eat as I’m sure we’ll all be hungry. See you tomorrow.
  13. Thanks everyone for turning out this morning. 3 groups, 40 lumpy miles, and soup and sarnies back at the clubrooms. Excellent. See you all next week for more of the same. Cheers Darryl

  18. Hi folks I’ve decided to postpone the Saturday APR. It does not seem as though we will have the numbers to make it viable as quite a few who have supported the event are on holiday or otherwise unavailable. Will try for next week instead. Thanks
