  3. David Well done. Look forward to your next report
  4. Richard Did not realise you were not on. I last saw you coming across the road from Nardinis with a bottle of water. Then we were off again. I thought you and Campbell were just behind me.Then out the blue the pace increased.Myself and Bob got dropped but worked together to try and keep in touch.It was only when we turned off to the Cloch lighthouse that we noticed that both you and Campbell were not behind us. I kept telling Bob that Billy Mac and Richard could be reeled in ( got that one well wrong. Good effort lads)Bob and I had a communication breakdown in Gourock and I travelled from Gourock to Lochwinnoch on my own. If you are out next week I will make a point of looking out for you Thanks to Martin for all his hard work in making it a brilliant day. Charlie
  5. Ian Do not see why not. We could check it out on Tuesday after training Charlie
  6. Kenny I have entered. Also happy to give lift to other Johnstone Wheelers. Think Billy Mac has already bagged a space but have Lancruiser so room for more Charlie
  7. paul sorry I am one of the others doing tearfund
  8. Jannza Did sprint event last year and have entered this year. A fantastic and very friendly event. They also provide great nosh afterwards. The cycle is an out and back course. No bother for you. If this is your first tri then you have chosen well Cheers Charlie
  9. Thanks to 930 bunch for a great day out. My brief moment of glory was staying with 1000 am bunch when they caught up with us just after West kilbride. Unfortunately for me they just as quickly dropped me on the Barrmill road. Thereafter I was on my own and when I got to the t junction for some reason I thought I should go left and ended up in Beith. realising my mistake I took the gateside road which put me back on route although on my jack jones I found it hard going.

  10. I had promised the missus that i would be no later than 12.30pm so arriving home at 1.40pm did not go down well. I tried to tell her that i had had 4 punctures but she told me not to make up such stupid excuses. Anyway thanks to the 3 wheelers who supplied me with tubes. Thanks to alan for the gas. nifty bit of gear. Thanks to Martin and Colin for the expert advice on tyre changing and thanks to Billy Colin and David who stayed with me for the whole route. The gators are getting binned and the slicks are coming out next week. Charlie

    An eventful day. Myself David Jim Daly Martin m and Martin met at club rooms. I got a puncture en route to club house which delayed us a bit. Conscious that there were guys waiting for us at the erskine bridge we set off at a very brisk pace. Martin who was out for the first time this year was finding it a wee bit tough so cleverly I thought I sent Jim ahead to tell the guys we were not far. Martin decided to head back to Paisley and to be fair I think that was his original plan. The rest of us met Ian and Richard on the bridge. Ian was adamant that he had not seen Jim pass. Anyway we headed to the other side and saw Jim and I think Kenny Christie on the other side of the road. That was our last sighting. We headed slowly up towards Hardgate thinking they would catch us. We stopped at the garage before Milngavie but no one had a no. Martin M and Richard decided to head back to cycle about Gleddoch as they had time issues but this was only after Martin tried to pursuade us that going to Crow hill via Kyber pass would be a good route. Fortunately Ian was wise enough to insist that we went thru Milngavie. So Ian myself and David headed for the Crow Road. As we headed up the hill we had the delight of seeing snow again. I was tail end Charlie. Half way up the hill I met geoff Rankine ( an old Johnstone wheeler) who was parked in the car park.I do not know why? Despite a shove from Geoff I was last to the summit. It was bitterly cold up top so we decided to head back down for a coffee stop at the cafe beside wheelcraft. Then we were homeward bound. As always great company. Apologies to Jim for not stopping sooner. We are so used to you catching up. Hope everything ok with you Cheers Charlie
