I should b able to help at this.

Maybe riding trying to get day off

After the race I'm standing in whitecraigs rugby club looking at a flask, tea bags, milk and sugar. I can't figure out how to use any of them. The start was on the Dams climb. Where the ramp starts. Into a head wind. The neutralised zone wasn't very neutral. My strategy was stay at the front on the climbs. Make sure I'm at the front for the Clunch then recovery on A77. First lap all going swimmingly and I'm on the front when a land rover turns up on the Clunch squeezing the bunch and dropping a bunch of guys. With a smaller main bunch going onto the A77 there's a break and the main bunch get irritated and lively. The pace ramps up so plans of recovery are generally screwed. Back onto the dams all is well, even manage to drop my chain and get back up the front of the bunch. I go into Clunch in first position and the climb is less arduous than the first. The breakaway is getting organised. Pace ramps up again going onto A77 and by the time it reaches 36mph I'm out of any place I've ever been in my short life in racing. I'm off the back. After that its a salutary lesson in putting the head down and getting on with it. Finished 17 minutes of the winning time in 32nd place out of 60. Guys retiring everywhere so anyone finishing gets a chapeau! Rest now ahead of Wednesday nights return to the same circuit.

Ramsay, the organiser didn't receive my initial entry so I posted off a duplicate which he confirmed receipt of.
 
Well spotted, I'm not on the start sheet but I have been in touch & he informs me that I will be no63.
 
He has mistakenly put no63-Scott Newman down twice.
 
I'm looking forward to it but also dreading it
 
Thanks for all your answers, guys!

Guys can I say from the apprentice organiser thanks to all the drivers marshals bakers and very body else who helped put this on
This is the first time I have done such a thing and much praise should go to Kenny for making sure everything needed to be done is done
I think a prestiges club such as ours should be running these events however to do so we need the help of all so quoting Churchill never has so much been owed to such few
Thanks

Don't compromise. Get the stealth. It will do absolutely fine as an audax or sportive bike when you want to do them.
Also, you're only a low single figure % away from hinging on to the end. The good news is the final % point is in the head.
Hugh, well done, indeed lots of potential there, you are one of the most natural climbers I've ever had the discomfort to observe at close quarters !

 
 

Alex Dowsett was in Paisley today taking his wheel into Dooleys to get fixed!
 

Billy, you could hire a cage with Charlie and stage cage fights to pay the annual charge, just a suggestion, just sayin like do you think Charlie would be a biter...
 
 

No. This is NOT a confined event / race
 
It's a training run

Chung, I hate to be controversial but as you were able to type this post you are clearly not suffering from an ailment that precludes you from posting club runs.
 
Also, this post should really be in the general section.
 
just sayin'

Can't believe it will be two years tomorrow since Jim passed away. It feels like no time at all since we were last riding round the coast or over the bridge together, or indeed sharing a coffee or driving to a race. He is still missed.
 
I hope all that are out on their bikes this weekend take a moment to remember Jim.

My bad habit is putting my left hand in my right okester and cranking my right arm up and down.
 
It makes that crackin' "quack quack" noise.
 
Wife hates it but I find I can do it for hours before I get bored
