Hey Davie,

Thank you for sharing this.  I am so sorry to hear this news. 

It sounds like you have come on quite a journey over the years and I am sorry that you have yet another battle to face.  There are so many things in life that we can't control, but equally so many that we can.  It's great to hear that you are taking control of what lies ahead and planning to create some more happy memories on the new gravel e-bike and in the campervan.

I am sure we will have some photos from Flanders and Amstel, so will look them out and email them to you.  Like you say..... happy times. 

 Take care Davie and wishing you all the best for the journey ahead.

Hi Alan. I am happy to come and help out at the start. See you in the morning. 

I’ll be there. Will bring some flapjacks (pretty much the only thing I can make)!!! 

I’m in. See you at Ardrossan as will drive down. 

I should be out. 

Perfect event for those who have never tired cyclocross before. Any ladies interested? I have entered and will be going with my mountain bike. 90 minutes of coaching and a 30 minute beginners race 😀

Great wee ride today with Karen, Fiona, Boyd and Alan. Headed to Bishopton, Port G, Kilmalcolm and home. A few wee extra detours to throw in some extra hills thanks to Alan.  We even helped (sort of) the local farmers to move their sheep! Nice to see Iain for coffee in Kilmacolm. 

Not sure if there is a 30 milers run planned for tomorrow? Planning a steady 30-40 miles, leaving the clubrooms slightly later than normal at 9:45.  

Sorry, Dave. Didn’t know where else to post this! 

That’s us swapped to the 174km event. Decided against the 4am start and trek to Antwerp! 

Hi Gerard,

Hope all goes well with the race this weekend. Sorry, but Ramsay and I are both away visiting family.  Hope all goes well and look forward to hearing all about it.

Is there a women's team category?

Argghhh. Away that weekend ☹️  Hope you get a women’s team together Karen. 

Weather looking pretty grim so unlikely to be out tomorrow.

Looking at the calendar, I might only be out for the odd Sunday between now and November! Please feel free to post rides and keep the intermediate bunch going.  

Great wee run today with Karen, Anthony, Tom and myself. Headed to Port Glasgow then along the coast for a quick coffee in the BB. Up the Hailey Brae and back towards the clubrooms. Hopefully all made it home well before the rain started! 

Anyone out this week? Was planning to be up north but weather has scuppered our plans!

Meet 9am at the clubrooms for 50-60 miles. Maybe do round the coast or something?  Happy for suggestions. 

Sorry we weren’t there at 9am Davie.

Fiona, Andy, David C, Peter and myself decided on Windlees wind farm today via Stewarton and Fenwick.  Coffee in Newton Mearns and home via Neilston and Uplawmoor.

There have been some requests for a visit to Dunoon and Peter suggested a ride for a couple of weeks time (28th) via Helensburgh, rest and be thankful, strachur and home.  Just short of 100 and only if it’s nice!

Thanks for a good day all. 

Anyone out this Sunday? How about 60ish miles either Windlees wind farm via Stewarton and Fenwick or the Crow Road?

Would a 09:30 start be ok as selfishly I am out on Saturday? 😊

Wondering if anyone can help? A friend is looking to buy a bike for her 10 year old son and was looking for some advice on which brand and where to shop.

They are looking for a decent bike to buy him for going on trail rides but also not too expensive for taking to school each day. Also open to the option of a second hand bike for school and concentrate on the decent trail bike (n+1)!

Any advice welcome  

Sounds great Alan. Not sure if you know that this weekend is the west highland way race? Ramsay and I are support crew for our friend. Runners leave Milngave at 1am tonight.  First will arrive in Fort William Saturday afternoon and the final few runners will be in by mid-day on Sunday. Look out for us along the way if you are riding. 

Another epic ride guys.  Sorry to hear that there will be no PBP but 460km and all the km’s that have come before that this year is incredible. Another time maybe? 

David C......enjoy glasto! 

Hi folks. I am not about for the next 3 or 4 Sunday’s. Feel free to post a route for the intermediate group and see you soon. 

How’s about over the bridge, Milngavie, Crow road, Killearn and back. 65ish miles. 9am at the clubrooms. 

Great. See you there

Weather not looking great for tomorrow. What do folks think about either a group turbo session in the clubrooms or a later start  to try and miss the worse of it? 

No need to apologise Davie. Sounds great and would love to come. Sadly can’t do the 8th. Next time. 

Well done guys. One step closer to PBP.

Great read and hope the knees and bums are better!
