Hi Guys, posting on behalf of Asima, who was in touch today enquiring about sunday thirty milers bunch....unable to access web site for some reason, I said I was'nt available tomorrow (unless no muddies is accepted) but told her I would post a message for anyone interested in a run from clubrooms at nine fifteen.. she intends being there, with fab experiences of cycling north africa Cheers ian.

hi guys, please accept my apologies, unable to make either run or agm. sun run if any, will not feature me, unless weather dry and summer bike can be used without muddies, as winter bike should be getting brazing and re threading work done on bottom bracket, see ya soon .......ian.

hi alan, sounds like you had a great day, did i read a mention of a 'cool cafe ' , maybe need to try this other form of cycling. ...........Ian.

Hi guys, sorry to hear about all that bad weather, not when yer playin a drum for a pipe band Bone dry we were....and seeing several bunches approach form north and south of gourock, i thought you were oot to check my excuse yep dry but freeeeeeezn, how cold can it get when yer standin just listening ad not to move a muscle? reminded me of the polar bear cub joke.( hey da, ye sure am no a koala bear cos am freezin !) should be there next sun ,, if bbj manages the impossible and gets my bottom bracket re sleeved and re built....a sawing ,grinding, cutting , chisseling,and hammering job to change to a triple ! cheers ian.

guess wot kenny, next sunday i'll be playing in drum corps with pipe band for remembrance day parade at gourock.. British Legion. round to cenetaph at gourock baths, stand and freeze for 45 mins and be expected to march ,,,,never mind play a drum all the way back to the club,,( a wee 'cafestop') 'no wot i mean....still hope the weather is good in skye and renfrewshire AND inverclyde,,, .... cheers ian. If you want to pass my contact no to the retired teacher you mentioned last sun,, for weekday afternoon run, please do so.

great outing today....at least i turned up .this time,,,,.for a short while kenny how did you know i was seeking a cafe stop?... only to give the ailing davy r a chance of a breather of course, but yes what a lovely cuppa !! . should manage next week again hopefully for a little longer...hpe the weather in skye is good for you ..cherrs ian. ps.. making enquiries with bbj for a triple,, might just make the transition from summer lightweight to winter tank a tad easier..had to get mrs s to help me carry it up steps at house !!

hi guys will def be there this sunday, is it a nine or nine fifteen kick off ? winter bike being asembled as we speak/ type. Hope weather stays dry... see ya sun. cheers ian.

what patter..how's that for excuses kenny, should have said in previous posting, hope Norma is all right and any involvement you may now have in dusting 'ooovering etc doesn't detract from your cycling time...see you soon

hi guys, would love to be able to say left sharp at 09.00 from clubrooms cos had'nt seen kennys posting and no one else turned up BUT.... 1...winterbike still in several boxes 2 working out an assembly plan .3 weather looked really ruufff 4 slept in after late gig despite extra hour... ..... should be ok for next sun.. cheers ian.

woops got it wrong again , dem compooter things and modern technology is accelerating away from me....just like the bunch!.. playing late this sat but will make great effort for sun morn ,,presume its the old (er)###heavier bike with muddies from now until the spwing. ( 's just around the corner)... sorry about last week but when i looked out, the trees were giving it yahoo in the wind and the rain ,,,,,well it was back to bed. see you guys soon regards ian.

last posting not on bunch for some reason, however, anybody oot tomorrow. ?... nine o clock at club rooms.. weather permitting!!!! cheers ian.

Hello cafe stops..anybody out this sunday 09.00. will be there , at clubrooms, hope to meet up with many others, looks like the last few weeks have had a good sized bunch... cheers ian.

race blades were accepted last winter season, they seem to reduce spray on following riders but still get the rider of the machine to which they are fitted pretty moist, especially from the front wheel john duffy was doing a good deal last year and appears to have the knack of fitting the guards to the impossible.. even the tightest of frames. ian.

forgot about that one kenny, do you require assistance, marshalling, timing, etc if so i will make myself available.. ..... regards ,,ian

yo looking forward to a wee thirty on sun, nine oclock at miller st clubroom..looks like we could have a good sized bunch.. ian
