I’ll be up for marshalling too Gerard..

just before I mention it to the guy, where is the bike at the moment, Up the Isles or down in Weegieland ?

Hi Kenny, would this suit someone around 5'11'' /6ft ?

Colin Sales on Saturday, I think it was on the Lochwinnoch Rd towards Phils Folly and then again on Sunday doing what looked like some TT training in Erskine...

I’ll pop along to hawd up/ timekeep

Brilliant lads, well done all 3 of you... great wee read as well Paul, sounds like you had fun

Thanks for the treat Charlie and all the best when your birthday arrives

this appeals to me, but not sure how much time I would have next year, could possibly do a long weekend ….

terrible news.. very sad

Afraid got no access to car on Sat ... will head out somewhere local instead .. enjoy guys

what time do you reckon we'd be back home Paul ?

I agree with the guys, this was a very well organised event, in a stunning part of the country on great roads... we stayed in a quaint wee village called Kettlewell in 4 different lodging all within about 100 yrds of each other and had a meal in the local hotel, food was great and for once we went easy on the pints, only 3 or 4 max .. as for the ride itself, no-one has exaggerated how tough this was, easily as tough as anything I've done before including the Fred and the Marmotte Pyrenees, it seemed that every single climb had sections in the high teens or low 20's plus a couple of 25 percents that seemed to go on for ages... as usual the company was great, so despite the pain it was a really enjoyable day in a masochistic kind of way.. Slept like a baby when I got home.. mcginty

Just asking for a friend whose looking for his first road bike... he’s 5’11, so I’m thinking a 56cm would be ideal .. something used but decent, Shimano 105 level kit in good nick, probably alloy frame .. if anyone is looking to sell please let me know . cheers ian

Glorious night for the Frank Lauder, 9 riders and check out the brilliant times all round... all very tight except for the 5 times in a row Champ 1st. and JWCC 10 Mile TT Champion : Richard Montague - 20.50 (pd) 2nd.
