I have attached the schedule of confined events  ( and some open ones) for the coming season. Confined event awards are open to all club members, and are an excellent way to introduce new riders to the mysteries and dark arts of Time Trialing.
This year, I have introduced 2 new courses for the League of 10. One is the Hilly course, and the other the restricted gear course at Gateside. These will be one of events within the league of 10, which will be mostly on the Westferry, as normal.
If you want to give TT-ing a shot, these are the events to try.

Great run out today. Turned out the BBC lied to us about the weather, as it was dry but cold. Not a huge number of riders out, around 14, which splintered a bit before Bishopton, but the rest of the run was steady and pretty sedate. Refreshments at amaretto's were very welcome.

Was down the bagel during the week, whats happened to the bus stop??! 
Felt lost with nowhere to lean my bike!!
We'll need to start a campaign...

Great wee ride today with Karen, Fiona, Boyd and Alan. Headed to Bishopton, Port G, Kilmalcolm and home. A few wee extra detours to throw in some extra hills thanks to Alan.  We even helped (sort of) the local farmers to move their sheep! Nice to see Iain for coffee in Kilmacolm. 

Splendid farmwatch exploration of the shire with Boyd, Fiona, Karen, Elaine and I. We have been feeding alpacas and herding sheep. And riding bikes. 

Post holiday lurgy means no bike riding for me. 🙄

I wish I could read, thought it was today, waited but ended up on my own, not unsurprisingly.misrable day, 55 slow miles

Hi Guys,
Having spent the last few years working abroad, I've now retired and returned home. Not wanting to turn into a full-blown couch potato, I'd like to re-join the mighty Wheelers. Assuming you may actually let me back in, can someone advise on how best to go about this please?
Cheers,
Frank

Cracking day on the bike with Ginty, Colin, Alex, Gintys mate Gerry and JohnC. Pipe track to Aberfoyle and sitting outside eating lunch in Oct, what's not to like. legs shredded now bur great day to be out

Good run today Linda, Tommy, Graham , Dave and myself toured elderslie , beith, lochwinnoch, port Glasgow thru Houston and back to the clubhouse, strong headwind slowed us down but all in all it was great company and good to be out.

great turn out today, fab to have so many supporting the hill climb. Jets are too light and don't have to work night shift.
 

 

Hi all,
 
I have been in contact with PSL in Hillington about supplying new hoodies.
I have arranged to get a small, medium and large sample for sizing and will arrange to have a sizing night at the clubhouse once i know when they will be available.
The hoody design will be the first image below (yellow inside the hood) with embroidered club logo and print on the back as shown on the second mock up. We will also do embroidered initials.
Prices are still to be finalised but looking at around £25.
 
Cheers

Heading to the Black Isle tomorrow to ride the v40. Anyone else heading up? 

Ladies and gentlemen, the final confined event of the season, the Joe Brunetti Hill Climb championship. This is a whole club event, with the Elliston Castle Road being closed for the duration of the event, so a good turnout is appreciated.
In recent years the main club has gone off first, then stayed around afterwards to cheer on the Jets, and this year should be no exception. Following the event, riders can go off on runs to suit their ability and leg conditions.
First rider off at 10:30, registration from 10:00. Once you have registered, you need to wait around to get your start time, generally around 5 minutes before the first rider goes off.
I can confirm that I have a copy of the Road Closure notice, which I will be putting up on site on Friday 20th.
Some volunteers are required to assist with putting out signs, timekeeping and holding, and then recovering the signs and moving the barriers aside once the event is complete.

The 2019 club hill climb championship will take place on the Elliston Castle climb, which will be closed for the event. If there's a desire in the club to change that route for the future, raise the suggestion at the AGM. I will look at the suggested routes, as well as the likelihood  of actually getting a road closure.
Obviously, we can't ask for a road closure for the Tuesday night events, as that would really inconvenience the local residents.

I was sitting here with a cuppa just before I read that, reminiscing about the coffee and walnut cake!
Good time trial, that. Well done, Gerard! Well done, Wheelers!

To think there were 24 pieces and I only got two of them... 😭
Cheers, Jane!

This recipe made 24 pieces. ENJOY
