Did you just like your own post?!
 
My replacement frame arrived today, so I should be back by the end of the month. Starting in the Bs, though, and not expecting much of myself - unless we abandon racing bikes and have a hopping-onto-a-box competition instead. I'll try and get along next week to watch (and pin your numbers on - obviously!)

Enjoyed that tonight
 
First up was a scratch, was ideally placed about 4th wheel with things strung out a bit with 3 to go then the guy in second attacked with 2 to go i just followed him then went past on the bell. If only all races would fall into my lap like that! Next up another scratch, unlike the first one this time i poorly positioned at about 10th when the sprint started so had to make a big effort and managed to get 2nd, was really pleased with that considering how far i had to go. Last was the points, think i was 3rd or 4th in the first sprint, 1st in the 2nd, didnt contest the third then the final one - well it hurt alot. Couple of riders had attacked after the sprint which i thought was going to stick so i bridged too, then as soon as that happened they eased up and everything came back together only with me on the front with 4 laps to go. Tried to keep a hard pace up so no-one would attack while at the same time trying not to blow up. With 1.5 to go no-one had attacked but i could tell there were a few just waiting behind the idiot on the front leading things out so i put my last bit of energy in to at least make them work for it and surprisingly it was enough to hold them off. Points races are much more fun when things work out
 
Next week will try entering the Bs again see if im accepted this time.

I sit corrected
 
 

Three Towns Bypass? Didn't know that was on the route!
Smashing run which I thoroughly enjoyed. Left early with Ironman, caught by the main bunch breakaway riders on Phil's Folly. Might have made it ahead of them if we hadn't gone through the 3 towns.
Cheers Campbell for the usual 69 mile lead-out!

BIG effort from a number of members to put the event on today
 
Particular mention to Ramsay for giving up his Friday morning and Saturday afternoon to carry out risk assessments, as well as Big Al who was out early doors this morning to drive round the Medium route to carry out the re-assessment
 
Thanks also to AlanT, Greig, Jann for all their help with the sign-on
 
The Milligans at Lochbarr were their usual accommodating selves with some fine catering which takes a lot of pressure of the club
 
It was a pleasure to have Dot Smith along to see all the riders off and also fantastic to hear how Dot still takes an interest in the club as a whole
 
It was great to see so many faces from different clubs supporting the event, mostly local but others from afar as Perthshire and Edinburgh
 
Final figures on monies raised will be advised as soon as we can figure out how much we have to pay BC for insurance and admin fees (a necessary evil for Open Reliabilities in this day and age)
 
Sitting enjoying a beer
 
Gang Forward!

All the best.

Great first ride on the season, thanks to the mini group in the 40 milers who got me up the the heali brae. Big thanks to Kenny fir organising and bottle of juice, even if it did taste rotten!

Jody,
 
I don't have a garmin but if you click on the route that you plan to ride the click 'Action' there is the option to 'Export' as a GPX file

Cheers
Iain

Riding in 930 but can make it for 830 if any duties apply
Andy

Entered online - noticed it was a bit low on entries to date so would encourage the many who will no doubt be riding to enter in advance,

 

Easy mistake to make Tom.

Race report. Race 1 - Drilled, Race 2- Reamed, Race 3 - Bored. All great fun.

Danny in the B's, Lewis in the A's

Storm Jameson Court, central Leeds
 
None for Sat 5th,
 
Rooms at York University in Franklin House at £59 single ensuite for Saturday 5th, doubles( £90) and singles for Friday 4th and Sunday 6th
 
Also found B&B Knowles Lodge at Appletreewick, through link off the same source says available that weekend??? Also offers camping with minimal facilities on site for £2.50 a head http://www.knowleslodge.com/
 
It might help some of you to see the event.
 
Bonne Chance

Can't believe it's five years since we lost Davie
 
Seems like yesterday we were riding carefree and joking on bunch runs and planning / developing a youth section for the club
 
Such a character and it was only when he was gone did I realise how big a part he played in so many other peoples' lives outside the club and how little I knew of him off the bike

The 2014 Don Smith Memorial Ride will take place on Sunday 9th March based at Lochwinnoch
 
There will be three Rides as per previous years
