Whilst the article is one of the most cogent rebuttals of the most common anti-cycling attitudes you hear expressed these days, I find that in an 'encouner' with a motorist, I rarely get to the stage where such eloquence is required, or even possible. Great post Iain ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all your computer needs, spares & repairs - PC Express, Love Street, Paisley 0141-561-0323 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We'll be staying on the Tourmalet (Bareges) so that's something to smile about ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all your computer needs, spares & repairs - PC Express, Love Street, Paisley 0141-561-0323 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I understand your point Brian, and of course, you want to get riders to sign up in advance. But equally, anyone who turns up on the day without pre-registering - through ignorance, sudden window of opportunity or tardyness - surely won't be told to ride on their own will they?

Hi Pete sorry to hear about your 'incapacity' - didn't realise you were still off the bike - hope you're able to get your leg over....the cross bar soon As an infrequent user of the club rooms, I personally see no need for loads of showers. One would be quite sufficient surely? Most folk get showered at home anyway. After a long ride - say a reliability - if folk are going back to the club rooms, then washing facilities will suffice until they can get home.

Better let Sarah know then eh? Anyway, anyone can ride on the road and join a bunch! It's not against the law ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all your computer needs, spares & repairs - PC Express, Love Street, Paisley 0141-561-0323 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks Kenny. Obviously Glasgow would be preferred if we can.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all your computer needs, spares & repairs - PC Express, Love Street, Paisley 0141-561-0323 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Further to the above, I have a few more details. the trip will probably be in the first week of July for 7 days or so. We intend to stay in the vicinity of Lourdes so that we'll be within easy reach of the cols and the Tour. Probably looking at flights from Edinburgh, change in London and on to Toulouse. From Toulouse via car (approx 150Km). At the moment a few possibilities for accomodation are being investigated. (a) A luxury Villa (for 8, 10, or more) that is 4miles from Lourdes at the head of a private valley. all mod cons , but it is not in town. Price is approx £150pp/pw ( Something closer to town (not sure yet) Anyway, at the moment we have: Stevie Darryl Mark Scott (maybe) Big Christian (poss some others who Stevie knows) If anyone in the club fancies a week in the sun , riding in France and seeing the Tour, then get in touch asap. cheers Darryl ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all your computer needs, spares & repairs - PC Express, Love Street, Paisley 0141-561-0323 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A plan is being hatched to spend the 1st week in July in the Pyrenees. No details have been thrashed out yet, but the basic idea is to do it on the cheap. Cheap flights, rent a chalet and ride our bikes for a week. I'll be calling a meeting at my house in Feb to thrash out details, but for now can anyone who is interested post here. At the moment there are 4 of us that are likely to be going , but a larger squad - as shown by all those foties Stevie wants a hand annotating - might be even more fun cheers Darryl ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all your computer needs, spares & repairs - PC Express, Love Street, Paisley 0141-561-0323 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stevie obviously I can't help since I wasn't there, but if we manage to get as many foties this year then I'll certainly lend a hand ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all your computer needs, spares & repairs - PC Express, Love Street, Paisley 0141-561-0323 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sarnies that is...not the kids ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all your computer needs, spares & repairs - PC Express, Love Street, Paisley 0141-561-0323 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll provide a loaf of sarnies - tuna- mayo - but I won't be riding at all that w/e due to babysitting duties. I'll drop them off at someone's house on the Saturday. cheers McG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all your computer needs, spares & repairs - PC Express, Love Street, Paisley 0141-561-0323 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just had a call from Christian. He's in Amsterdam and unable to come to Scotland after all. They wouldn't accept his student card and wanted him to pay an extra few 100 euros But he is well and sends his best wishes to everyone. Says he will meet up with those of us going to France next year Anyone know Martin Keir's mobile no? Need to tell him not to go to the Airport this afternoon. If someone could ring him, that would be great. cheers Darryl ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all your computer needs, spares & repairs - PC Express, Love Street, Paisley 0141-561-0323 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We can't get the Shimla Pink's place (next to Dooley's) so I've booked a table for Friday 8pm at Cafe India which is opposite the Bull Inn Oh...er...the Bull is 1/2 way down New Street. Where's New St.? See multi map - PA1 suggest we meet at 7.30pm in the Bull for pre-curry drinks CU there Darryl ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all your computer needs, spares & repairs - PC Express, Love Street, Paisley 0141-561-0323 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
