Thats it, hopefuly the right route

That is the correct route. The course start is about 2 minutes into the video.

Start line is around about here https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.7486602,-4.5632603,3a,75y,188.73h,76.17t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sRdRuLF9xeridr9ETgUUAxg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
 
10 am is the first rider away, sometimes riders will meet at the clubrooms beforehand before heading over together but i dont know if anyone is doing that this year

Bridge, Jamestown, Kippen, Totw, Crow, Milngavie. I got towed back from Lennoxtown, thanks chaps.
 
The coffee shop in Kippen has a partially completed loyalty card with the club name on it. Next person there in club kit might get a free coffee! Ask them
 
Lots of NCR N7 from Balloch to Croftamie has recently been resurfaced (about 20 minutes before we rode it, we left tyre tracks in the cooling blacktop) and has some immaculate sections of tarmac. Ride it before it disintegrates into the previous landrover track
 
Top of the World lived up to its name with stunning views to snowy hills to the north under a  big blue dome. Best riding in the world!

I will post again tomorrow if I can do Tuesday as well. Have you seen the forecast though?

Hope to make it now I have a baby sitter

Sign on open from 08:00 - 10:30 and needs covered.

I can help with sign-on, but wont have a car so can't do route checking.

After restricted gear a run round to the clune, the wall west Glen and another loop round the Gledoch hills

After some research I discovered that the Clachan Inn in St Johns of Dalry sells real ale! Also does meals.

It's amazing what a little bit of sunshine does to swell the numbers in a bunch :-)
 
I counted 11 head out this morning with one whole bunch doing the intended route - Alex, David C, Eric (new chap) Graham, Gerard, James, PaulC, Paul Levy, Ritchie, Tom (on his new bike - class) & myself headed off 9.15am.
 
Like a true reliability run, we had to have a few mishaps - a couple of mechanical, a puncture, someone riding onto a grass verge, dropped lights (that was me by the way) & mangkie mudguards. However, that did not spoil the fun at all, unbroken sunshine, no real wind to speak of & a good size bunch was a what makes a great wee run indeed.
 
We picked up Len on the way into Largs, then some opted to have a coffee stop at Largs (the evening trackies) while the rest of us carried onto round the coast to fulfil the West Kilbride route, but a wrong turn at Dalry meant we skipped a bit out .... oops :-)
 
Anyway, manage to rejoin the café bunch while back on the cycle track heading home & made our way back to the clubroom for some hot beverage & Gerard's lovely tart :-)
 
Thanks for wheels today guys & looking forward to next weeks Don Smith then :-)
 
Cheers

As a first timer out with JWCC and a fairly novice cyclist I really enjoyed the run this morning, pace and distance slightly higher than I'm used to but that's what I need under my belt to see an improvement. Big thanks to the bunch today for your encouragement, and understanding that there was a 'newbie' on board!  
 
Blue skies, stunning views to Arran, no wind and cake at the end! Can't get much better than that.
 
Hope to catch up with you again soon.
 
Cheers,
Eric

Stunning day! And some photos to prove it!

Monday at 7pm is fine for us....Carol

As I was saying earlier tonight I intend coming down if I can arrange everything else.

Hi Graham,
 
I would be interested in taking part.  I'll put it on my wish list.

I can help with sign-on, but wont have a car so can't do route checking.

Looks like a similar route to the one that some of us are planning to do in May, clearly they are taking our lead!

Looks like a similar route to the one that some of us are planning to do in May, clearly they are taking our lead!

I won't ride both on the same day. I entered the velopreda before the confined list was up, so I'll be sticking with that. Unless the date of the hilly is moved....
 
Only I can't do 2nd April either because I'm away that weekend. However, if I can't make the posted dates, I consider that to be my problem and no one else's.

Only a few days to go now, if you haven't paid please do so before the end of the week.
 
 
I'll post up some more details before the weekend about what to bring, directions to the velodrome and so on.

Alex,
 
That seems like a good call, I'll amend the original post to have 15 minute intervals and give more recovery time before the track!
