Well done everyone 👏👏

Hi folks I don’t think anyone has posted a ride for Sunday so I suggest a a run to Largs via Brisbane Glen, and home via West Kilbride abs Dalry. 9.30 at the clubrooms.

I’m away but Robbie will be along for this. Just make sure he knows the course and generally look after him please. ta D

Just read that Eileen has won another Olympic medal in the tandem pursuit at the Paralympics. Congratulations to Eileen, who many of you will remember is a past member of JWCC. I have fond memories of some of the runs when she and Denis (White) turned out on the tandem. Chapeau!

Someone mentioned beer afterwards. That clinched it. See you Sunday🍻

Got stuff on so I’m a maybe 🤔.

Well done everyone, especially to Sam.

Hi folks im having a bit of a clear out of old cycling parts. I’ll be posting stuff up here as the clear out progresses. If you need parts for a winter bike/hack I may have something you need. I’ve wheels, tyres, cassettes, chain sets, loads f saddles, loads of bars and stems etc. First up is a trio of frames suitable for a winter bike/hack build. 1. Small (fit up to 5’8 ish) Ridley Triton alloy frame. Super light, takes guards (can be supplied). Robbie used it for a couple of years and loved it. Builds very light. £60 2. Cannondale CAD 8 alloy frame. Medium (54 t-t). Suit rider 5’ 9 to 6 foot. Takes guards. Needs new screws for bottle cages. Rob rode this for a few months before getting a new bike. Can supply all parts to build into a nice winter bike. £60. 3. Kenesis alloy frame (55 t-t) suit rider 5’8 to 6ft. Comes with campag brakes, chainset (needs new rings) front changer, bars, seat post, choice of saddles, guards and rack. £95.

6.30 at clubrooms

Good wee group of 30 milers, intermediates and main bunchers set off from Miller St. for a few gentle hours around Barmill, Beith, Lochwinnoch, and Kilmalcolm. Think we delivered on the three C’s- cake, coffee, and chat. We did get a wee bit wet, and I think a few folks turned off early (Frank? David?) but the cafe in Kilmalcolm was super - good shout @Ianarchibald. Had a good chat with the Glasgow United boys, and bumped into JWCC legend Katrina Hair. All in all another good day on the bike. Cheers 🍻

Me and Robbie will be out but only for a few hours. Thinking a tour of the shire with coffee and chat. Obviously, folks should feel free to crack on further.

Usual 9.30 meet at the clubrooms for a 50 mile ride. Exact route tbc, but there will be cake 🎂

Another blast round the sewing 🐝 route, in glorious sunshine. Everyone seemed in fine fettle, with a special shout-out to new guy Ali. Thanks to all for a very enjoyable evening!

Anyone out tonight?

Reminder: sewing 🐝 ride is on. Tomorrow - Thursday - 6.30 at Clubrooms.

As above. I hope some of you can join us.

Likewise Dave. Hope to see you out again.

A nice wee grouppetto of 6 headed for Largs, cake and coffee. Present were: Robbie Gunson, Alan Thomson; Darryl Gunson, Stuart Tennant, Dave Ferguson, and old JWCC legend Marco van Whitehead. A wheel about was had over the top of the Haylie Brae. Bumped into another ex-wheeler Gerry McCartney on the track as well as current wheelers Andy and Alan. Another good day on the bike

9.30 at Miller Street
