Any chance of getting a look at them before they go on the website?

Karen, are you happy for me to proceed with adding these new pictures to the club website?

Well done Mark!

Of course Karen. I haven't received the files from Alan yet but I will display them on here prior to adding to the website. I would like approval from people before using their image etc.

Alan, I haven't got anything yet. Can you re-send when you get the chance please?

Cheers

Thanks Alan, much appreciated.

Hello all,

I'd really like to update the club website with some pictures of members in their new kit, in order to promote our sponsors. Therefore, if you have any that you're willing to share and have posted to the website then send them to me at [email protected].

Cheers

Allan

Evans just posted some pictures of the run on the Langholm Sportive Facebook page, with 2 JWCC riders looking resplendent in their new kit in 3 of the 4 pictures posted. I hope you can get to this link

Good point, well made George! :-)

Looks like Aldi will have another sale of cycling clothing etc starting from 4th May. I've never bought their products but I hear they get good reviews for the price. May be ideal for beginners or returners not looking to spend too much.

Anyway, here's a link to Aldi https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/sunday-4th-may/,

and here's a link to a RoadCC review http://road.cc/content/news/117615-aldi’s-latest-cycling-bargains-include-shorts-jerseys-convertible-jacketgilets.

I'll be getting road shoes soon I'll take a visit into Thompsons and see what is there. How do I go about becoming a member of the club? I've been out on one run and will try and get out again this weekend. I've been overdoing it a little to try and complete the strava Specialized Spring Classics Challenge but getting there!

Kenny, send an email to secretary@johnstone-wheelers and Jann will advise on what to do to complete your membership. Welcome aboard!

I will try to get along for a beer before my 40th birthday dinner the same night

I'd hate to miss the kind invitation from Alan & Martin.

Well done Adam and to all who competed and/or helped out today.

I've added a wee article to the JWCC website, but I am still determining the best way to display the pictures within the article. Bear with me.

Can someone give me a link to the Map My Ride route for the Jim Daly Memorial please? The one on the 2013 article on the website does not work.

Thanks

Allan

Jann, could you email them to me please?

Thanks

Allan

Would anyone who took part in this years Don Smith care to jot down a few words as to how it went, prize winners etc for a small article for the club website?

Any photos would be greatly appreciated also.

Thanks

Allan

Richard,

I have 6 x 10kg discs (Weider Olympian) you are welcome to. I'd be glad to get them out my spare room. I also have 14 smaller weight discs you're also welcome to.

All free if you can collect.

Allan

Superb. Thanks Jann.

Thanks Jann, however using the tool above, I have decided to go for the Cateye Volt 1200, which I can get on Wiggle for £132.00 I will run it past Dooleys to see if they can match the price.

While looking for some guidance on a new front light I stumbled upon this useful comparison tool from Road cc.

http://road.cc/lights2012/index-wide.php

You can select two different lights to compare side by side, using a view of a country lane as a backdrop. There is a dividing bar that splits the image in two, showing one of your chosen lights on either side of the bar, but this can be moved to see more of the view from one light or the other.

Hope it helps anyone looking for a new light.

I bought this turbo a few weeks ago http://www.wiggle.co...yer-vr-trainer/

 

Its early days but so far so good. It connects to a laptop to give a really full display of distance, speed, cadence, gradient, power and heart rate in both numbers and graphs. It works with an analogue (as oppossed to ANT) heart monitor, around £15 from Decathlon. You can save your routes and workouts, hopefully to show improvements over time!

 

It comes loaded with various routes and films to follow and a one year multi player license which may or not be useful. So far all I've done is ride against the clock varying the resistance to get used to the machine. Time will tell which features are useful and which are gimmicks.

 

Cheers

Allan

How is it for noise Allan?
