The fifth of this year's scheduled Chocolate Series of TTs, this time. First rider off at 19:00, so meet at 18:45 at the usual place towards the Inchinnan end of Georgetown Road. Here is a link to the course: JWCC Georgetown Road TT Route Gerard has offered to timekeep for this one, but another volunteer please to hold-up / push-off.

Yes, I'm looking forward to this one!

I'll come along for this one, not been to the Dairy for quite a while.

After the CTT events of the last couple of weeks, we're back to confined events with the fourth of this year's League of 10 TTs on the Westferry. First-timers and returners welcome! First rider off at 19:00, so meet at 18:45 at the layby on the Clyde side of the M8/A8 roundabout between Bishopton and Langbank. A 10 mile route up to the roundabout at Ferguson's Shipyard, Port Glasgow and back. Here's a link to the route: Westferry 10. Two volunteers please to officiate.

I'll come along for this one Chung, but I see there's a Food Fair on at Largs this weekend: http://www.largsfoodfest.com/what-s-on.html, looks like we might get extra fuel for the return leg if we're still there when they open at 11:00!

Thanks for the offers of help for the 18th, I've created a new thread in the members only section with more detail about this event and the roles required. Here's a link: http://www.johnstone-wheelers.co.uk/thebunch/index.php?/topic/8527-marshalling-of-ctt-25-on-wed-18th-may/ Graham.

Hi Chris, see my post in Chung's thread for 15th, if you don't get any better offers, you will be welcome to join me for the shorter version to Garelochead and Glen Fruin.

I fancy a shorter version of this also. The Kilcreggan ferry is not running on Sunday's, so suggest cafe stop at Garelochead and back on Chung's route via Glen Fruin as a shorter option. This may suit some 30 milers? Eric, I'll see you at the Pullman at 9:00, to meet the others at the bridge at 9:30 / 9:40.

Sounds good I'll plan on joining you for this one.

Note: The schedule for Confined Events over the next few weeks has been amended to fit with the 25 mile TTs that we are running in conjunction with the CTT.

Jane and I will help with the one on the 18th May. Graham.

Sorry to have to read of this, and as others have said it sounds like it could so easily have been a lot worse. Glad to hear your on the mend Iain, and hope it doesn't take to long. Jane & Graham.

Paul, I plan to go my usual route up West Glen Rd. to Erskine, will be passing the Pullman at 8:45, will see you either there, or at the bridge at 9:30.

Hi Carol, it looks like we have 2 volunteers for this week, but you could put your name down for next time (3rd May)? Here's a link to the rota: Club Confined Event Volunteer Rota

Thanks for posting this Paul, it was the best weather so far this year - a great day out, a new cafe for me and my knees have seen the sun now!

Paul, that looks good to me, see you then. But your not really semi-retired, your just a part time cyclist!

Big thanks to Iain and Ian for officiating, and particularly for keeping my time confidential! I'll endeavour to get a time I'm happy to have published next time I have a go.ðŸ˜

I've been doing a little planning for this trip, here's a schedule for the outbound trip: Cycle to Ayr: 08:45 depart (say from) Johnstone ~39 miles 3hr 15 min from Miller St. to The Rozelle Tearooms (650 ft of assent) Coffee Stop (30 mins) Kilmaurs? 12:30 Arrive @ cafe Train to Ayr: 11:18 depart Johnstone 12:05 arrive Ayr 12:15 cycle to Cafe - 1.6 miles, 10 min cycle from Ayr Station. 12:30 Rendezvous at The Rozelle Tearooms, Ayr, KA7 4NQ 13:30 Depart tearoom Tea Stop (30 mins) (location TBC) 17:00 Arrive St John's Town of Dalry 33 miles, 3 Hrs to St John's Town of Dalry (1,400 ft of assent) That should work and leave plenty of time for breaks. Jane tells me that any bags left at our house in Kilmacolm the day before (Fri 29th) will be at the hotel to meet us!

The fourth of this year's scheduled Chocolate Series of TTs, this is the last of the Chocolate Series for a few weeks as we will be doing some 10 and 25 mile TTs over the next few weeks. First rider off at 19:00 this week, so meet at 18:45 at the usual place towards the Inchinnan end of Georgetown Road. Here is a link to the course: JWCC Georgetown Road TT Route I'll be along to timekeep for this one, but another volunteer is welcome to hold-up / push-off.

Gerard, it should be about 15 mins from the Pullman, so that makes it 08:15 (perhaps 08:20) at Ferguson's roundabout. I suggest meeting in the bus stop about 200 yds the Greenock side of the roundabout as we can get off the road there.

I plan to do route 2, Loch Tarzan and Glendaruel, at intermediate pace. Getting the 09:00 ferry, I'll be cycling to the ferry from Kilmacolm leaving the Pulman at 08:00. Company welcome from either Kilmacolm or meet at the ferry.

After a great turnout last year, here's this year's early season Whole Club Run. Having checked Sheila's facebook page, it looks as good as last year! Lots of options of how to get there to suit all ambitions and training programmes, including (with distances from the ferry): 1. Straight from the ferry - 8 miles return and flat! But could go up to Strachur first bringing the distance up to 28 miles, 500 ft. 2. A western route via Loch Tarzan and the A886 (Glendaruel) - 40 miles, 2,000 ft. 3. Loch Tarzan and C11 – 46 miles, 2,600 ft. 4. Over The Rest via Glen Fruin, 62 miles, 2,600 ft from Erskine Bridge. (could add a Hell's Glen option for some extra feet) Start times may vary depending on routes chosen, but there are outbound ferrys at 08:30, 09:00, 09:30, 10:00, 10:30, 10:50 Suggest aiming to meet at the Diner around 12:30 to 13:00
