    The Sam Dooley TT has been cancelled this year.
    We have had difficulties in sorting out permissions for the event and with the possibility of roadworks made it too difficult to arrange a safe TT.
     
    Thank you to all that volunteered to be marshals

    Thanks to all who joined us on the ride today. I think we all agreed it was a great first outing over the water, this year. Special shout out to new members  Frank, Dom, and Geo.

    stuart10ant reacted to AlanT in NEW: Wednesday evening social rides   
    7 of us set off from the clubrooms on a warm but windy summers evening. Stuart, Lauren, Dan, Alan, Kenny, Gary and me. Stuart and Lauren dropped out at Kilbarchan, but the rest of us carried on, staying together (mostly), helping out the riders that struggled with the hard bits, particularly once we got pas the 20 mile mark. 
    We had a great tailwind on the way out, but that made it a little tougher on the way back, especially on the uphill bits, however, we all arrived back at the clubrooms together. Pace was slow enough to chat, quick enough to stay warm as temperatures dropped.
    A good start to the social runs.

    Hi folks
    Every Thursday (starting this week 3rd June) will see the return of our very popular ‘sewing bee’ ride. This is a brisk ride towards Stewarton, returning via Neilston. This is a ‘training ride’ but a bit more sedate than the Thursday Renfrew Bunch.
    The emphasis will be on travelling efficiently and safely in a bunch. This run is aimed at established club riders and fit new members who would like a good bike workout with like minded folk.  Rider safety will be paramount, and no one will be left behind.
    The depart is 6.30 from the club rooms (6.35 at Morrison’s on the cycle track)
    I would very much appreciate if we could have a show of hands for this, so I have some idea in advance of numbers.
    All the best

    Darryl, I know when I worked in Evans at braehead they had the rivet tool and a load of bottle bosses. Unsure whether they still do after the unit move a few years back but worth a shout

    stuart10ant reacted to EricL in Covid19 Update - wef Monday 26th April 2021   
    Great news for club organised riding from TOMORROW 
    Scottish Cycling has updated our Level 3 Guidance which comes into effect from Monday 26 April.
    Adults (18+) and Under 18s may travel locally or to another Level 3 area to take part in organised sport. Transiting through multiple Level 3 areas on a ride is permissible. Scottish Cycling strongly recommends a maximum group ride size of 9 for organised club group rides from unlimited households based on the retention of the physical distancing requirements from Level 4. Events for Adults in a Time Trial format may take place, with physical distancing before, during and after competition.   It is currently anticipated that the whole of Scotland will move to Level 2 on Monday 17th May. At this time, it is expected that we will see the requirement for Adults to maintain physical distancing during sport to be removed, and expect to see further changes regarding group sizes for Events. Further information to follow in the coming weeks.   The revised guidance document to follow is here 👇 https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/zuvvi/media/SC_Guidance_L3_A4_23.04.21.pdf 
    The Covid-19 Resource Hub is here to support ride organisers and leaders.

    Short 20km meetup on Wednesday. Select TT bikes for this one so no drafting.
    Course is Tempus Fugit and we roll out easy for the first half until we go round the big roundabout - the start of Fuego Flats reverse segment is shortly after this then it is approx 7km and flat to the end of the segment. Results based on the time on the segment leaderboard. After this a couple of km still to go to cool down.
    If using a road bike to try to gain advantage by drafting then you get a 2 minute penalty!

    Since we’re unlikely to get out for the February reliability runs, even if the weather is ok, I’ve put a bit of thought into how we could do these on Zwift.
    I’m thinking 4 runs on successive Sundays in February, 65, 80, 95 and 110km, 3 groups, cruising at 2, 2.5 and 3 W/kg, setting off 15 minutes apart. No cafe stops, bring your own post run refreshments.
    Happy to take on board adjustments to the format.
     
    Anyone interested?

    stuart10ant reacted to EricL in Covid19 Update - January 2021   
    I expect that the majority of JWCC membership will already be fully aware of the latest Scottish Government lockdown guidance and restrictions associated with life at Tier 4. In simple terms - stay at home except for essential purposes, Police Scotland is legally enforcing the measures, for the weeks (months?) ahead.
    Exercise is permitted in certain circumstances and close to your local area. British Cycling and Scottish Cycling have confirmed their positions on this and I have below lifted extracts from their web pages to assist any of our membership who choose to venture outside on their bikes at this time.
    It remains the case that it is not possible for JWCC to safely run any events or organise group riding while there are such restrictions in place.
    Stay local, keep riding, and come back smiling
    While winter is often a trickier time to stay active due to the cold weather and short days, it’s a vital tool for safeguarding our physical and mental wellbeing during what is set to be another challenging few weeks ahead. Although the restrictions have been tightened, riders are still encouraged to get out and enjoy some fresh air – whether that’s for daily exercise or essential journeys.
    Mainland Scotland is at Level 4 and will now have to follow enhanced guidance including;
     
    Household rules now apply to all activity (no sports bubble at Level 4) i.e. 2 people from a maximum of 2 households only. Sport can continue but it will be for a maximum of 2 people together unless under 12 years as they do not count towards the total (so more can take part).  Travel is restricted (as previously) but with ‘stay at home’ the key message and this has been put into law from midnight on 4 January 2020. There are however exemptions for sport, exercise and recreation and participants can still travel up to 5 miles from the boundary of a LA to take part in informal exercise such as walking, running, golf or cycling as long they abide by the rules on meeting other households noted above e.g. 2 adults from maximum of 2 households. Please ensure that you have reviewed the latest Scottish Government guidance if planning to take part in informal rides during this period.
    Do your bit to minimise the risk of Coronavirus spreading by abiding with this guidance, the restrictions will not last forever.
    With thanks,
    Eric (Covid coordinator for JWCC)

    stuart10ant reacted to Codg1e in Covid Update: Club Activity Suspended from 11/12/20   
    Dear Club Members
    Today, as our area has moved into Tier 3, the committee have reviewed the latest guidance. We note that the restrictions under Tier 4 were practically unworkable for club  bunch rides, and that there  is very little difference between Tier 3 and 4 restrictions.  In line with other Scottish cycling clubs, we have decided that the best course of action, for the present, is to suspend all club activity until further notice.  If you do go out on your bike please ensure you follow the guidelines, and  be mindful that they are  now enshrined in law.  If you’re unsure about them, the latest information is here:  https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/scotland/article/20200313-Scottish-Cycling-Coronavirus-COVID19-Guidance-0 .
     
    Johnstone Wheelers hope to return to the roads again soon, but for now there will be no further club runs or related activity.
     
    We are very active on Zwift - see the Virtual Rides forum on The Bunch, and further details in Main Bunch WhatsApp group.
     
    Keep safe - and we’ll gang forward again soon
    JWCC Committee

    stuart10ant reacted to EricL in Covid Update 04/12/2020 - Ride restrictions   
    Another update has been published by Scottish Cycling today, well spotted George, I've lifted the extract below directly from the SC website and invite all members and social cycling friends to take the latest information on board. There is also a handy note on what differentiates an informal ride to a formal one.  Another update will no doubt be along soon enough! With thanks, Eric.
    What has changed in the most recent update?
    The latest update to the Protection Levels Framework was made on Friday 4th December 2020. This update included the following:
    For informal cycling, at Level 3 and 4, the Travel guidance was updated to: 'travel is permitted up to 5 miles outwith a Level 3/4 area to start your ride, as long as your ride starts and finishes in the same place. At Level 3 and 4 for organised (formal) cycling for Adults (18+), an additional statement was added to the Travel section to provide the following clarity: 'club activity (such as group rides) must remain within the boundaries of the Local Authority'. In the Coaching and Leading section, changes to what is permissible with regards to the delivery of British Cycling Education courses across all Levels. Detail of what is permissible at each level is outlined within the Protection Levels Framework. What is the difference between informal cycling and organised (formal) cycling activity?
    Informal cycling is defined as cycling where there is NOT a Covid-19 Coordinator involved in the planning or delivery of the ride. Activities falling under this category, must comply with the restrictions which exist within wider society for outdoor socialising.
    Organised (formal) cycling is defined by the involvement of a Covid-19 Coordinator in the planning or delivery of the ride. Activities falling under this category, are able to take place with bigger group sizes as outlined in the Protection Levels Framework.

    Important
    Within the last hour I have received the following update on travel, i.e. ride, restrictions from Scottish Cycling and SportScotland, the same is posted by Scottish Cycling on their Facebook page. The guidance on travel has now passed into law and will have a significant impact on many potential club rides at all levels. The legislation on travel restrictions also applies to informal social rides (non-club activity) of up to two households. Group sizes remain as before i.e. up to seven on a club organised bunch ride. With thanks, Eric
    Dear Covid-19 Coordinator,    I hope that this email finds you well.  I have less positive news today I am afraid. Following the introduction and subsequent passage of the legislation on Travel in the Scottish Parliament, sportscotland has now provided an update to all SGBs on what this legislation means for sport.   In essence: For Adults, living in Level 3 or 4 areas, you cannot travel outside of your Local Authority area for club activity. This includes club rides, which must stay within the boundary of the LA. For Children and Young People (U18) at Level 4 areas, you cannot travel outside of your Local Authority area for club activity. The 5 mile rule only now applies to recreational/informal activity which must adhere to the 6 from 2 households rule. Coaches/MTB/Ride Leaders continue to remain exempt from the travel legislation and can move freely across all levels. Full Protection Levels Framework document including these updates can be found here.
