Well done Kayleigh - excellent achievement.

Guys, how about this Friday for the curry? I'll get Van Whitehead along as well...Short notice I know...but who's up for it? Show of hands please.

Friday night for me. As for venue...make sure to double check the booking wherever we go

Count me in too for both. I'm happy whichever we go for. The Auchrannie however, is a bit more luxurious and we can drop our gear off before we ride around the island As for the food, nothing could really top Simon + Martin's extravaganza last year, but the Auchrannie does have a nice looking retaurant and a bar - no need to walk anywhere then! But then again, the thought of another 'Man in Black' session is tempting and it wouldn't be allowed in the Hotel But I'm in whatever you all decide (I shot a man in Reno...) cheers DG

You just get cooler and cooler

Just like to echo Bob's comments about today's ride. Kenny and the team did an excellent job today and should be commended for giving up their time so that the run could go ahead. A really enjoyable day out that served to remind me why I joined this club in the first place (eg all that sympathy I received when I cramped up - cheers ) Thanks again to all involved McGunson

Great blog Al. Was a tad envious when you told me about your plans the other week, but now i'm not so sure. Keep the reports coming though. I'll be loggin on every day to see how you're getting on. Dig in DG

Well done to Triking Dave and his team and congratulations to all who rode what is definitely a challenging course. Sounds like you all had a great day out. Hopefully, I'll be along next year. cheers DG

Only just spotted your report Scott. Chapeau!!! Catch up soon. Darryl

Well done to all who rode last night and thanks again to Donald and Martin. 'Twas another miserable night though and enough to remind me why I only do one TT every three years! cheers DG

Scott could you post when and where we are to meet? I've told folk 7pm at the restaurant, but Marco tells me that 'aint right. Shall we meet in a pub first for a few 'warm ups'? ciao DG

It just keeps getting better and better...truly great riding. Well done DG

Me too

Warmest congratulations to you both. best wishes DG

We'll all be cheering you tomorrow - Eve (4) thinks it's very exciting as does Robbie (2). We're all very proud of you. Give it 'laldy' ...no-one could ask for more. all very best wishes Darryl, Claire, Eve & Rab

Would love to but I'm relegated to the Turbo for at least 4 weeks Sounds like you're feelin' better though...see you in April ciao McG

Is it not the 'Monkeyhouse'?

Cheers Stevie. very useful info. ciao DG

Hi Shazy, any idea of the exact dates? cheers Darryl

Just to let you know that Mrs McG won't be attending this year. I'll get my ticket today from Dooleys. cheers

No doubt you will all have heard about the tragedy that occurred in North Wales yesterday with four cyclists being killed when a car collided with a training bunch. This was a bunch just like the ones that many of you ride with: safety conscious and experienced. The conditions were also similar to those that we have experienced recently: cold and icy. A sad and salutary reminder as to just how dangerous the roads can be... Take care out there and join me in extending our deepest sympathy to the members of Rhyl CC and the families of those involved. McGunson

Last year the bunch started up on Sat 8th, so it will probably be the 7th this year. I'll be heading over then... cheers

Where will you be on Saturday? I'll meet you there @ 2. cheers Darryl

It's wot all the egotists in the club get up to on a night out... or...it could just be my rubbish typing cu on the farm tracks
