Had to top up the High Powered Car Hand Wash machine 4 times to clear the muck out of my wheel arch

Well done to the riders. We need to change the start because it is very poor on fast LH bend.

Open to suggestions. I guess one alternative would be to move it to Coldstream Farm, just before the current turn 4?

posted in Club Runs:
 
We will have a beginners'/referesher/prospective members' run for those needing bunch riding practice.
 
This will start on the Gateside Road about 1100 following the end of the Restricted Gear TT and meander back to clubrooms around 1230 with a possible coffee stop.
 
Run will be tightly controlled with focus on bunch riding skills, safety and etiquette and we will regroup after hills and stop for mechanicals. You'll need a drop bar bike, a water bottle and a couple of bananas.  Experienced club members welcome to help and to wind down after TT.
 
Prospective/new members very welcome.
 
Post here if interested, or if not registered you can get me at [email protected] for info

Yeah was a fast night in the Bs, I think amongst the fastest we've had for a while with the 30 lap scratch averaging over 30mph (Also a quarter of the race was spent above 450 watts, no wonder it felt tough!)
 
Here is a link to the double chainring set up i mentioned http://bicyclespecialties.blogspot.co.uk/2009/04/two-cranksets-two-chains.html

I can assist with sign on etc. as well. Will b there for 8 30 and riding long route. Paul let me know if there are any particular duties you want me to take on

And it didn't even rain.
 
Not as far as the Cloch anyway.
 
A total of four in the 0900 bunch. Trackie Mia was onmy looking for a short ride as she has the club session this afternoon, so being gentlemen Tony, Douglas and I decided to cut our 72 miles short and escort her back up to renfrewshire.
The only other wheeler spotted on the road was James Snodgrass, heading out through Grenock as we were coming back. Did you solo all the way round James?

Pizza if you make it back to the clubrooms 
 
The Jets had their pizza/pasta/presentation night in the clubrooms yesterday. We bought too much grub, which means 6 or 7 pizzas are waiting in the fridge as the ideal post reliability snack. 12 mins in the oven if you can wait that long.

A few of us intend to ride the North Coast 500 route next year. Google or search FaceBook for more info, but it is definitely now a big tourist thing. Basically, it is a ride starting and finishing in Inverness taking in the North Coast. The plan is to take 5 days to cover the 500 miles. If anyone else is interested please pm me.

I am interested.

Marginal gains, or should that be losses!
 
Will also be interested Colin.

Well Davie, you'll have a whole day to lose the weight, lol

Me too Colin!

I talked to Fred and he likes you just the way you are... 
 
I would be interested also Colin(you had me at free tasting)

Just a few?

Yes up for that, need help losing a few pounds for the Fred whitton

Great idea

splendid idea. you're half the man you were...and I mean that in a good way which is a testament to your nutritionist's skills. I'd come along if I'm free.

Just gauging the level of interest in a free informal evening on Fri 5th of May. Easy meal ideas for all level of cyclists with free tasting menu and recipes. Fully realise that all of you have great knowledge of this but my nutritionist (aka the mrs) has volunteered and it has been of great use to me in the last 3 seasons
