I will timekeep / hold up ,
Joseph is planning to ride .

Chaingang starts up this week - due to daylight for the first few weeks meeting at 6pm at the bus stop usual place.
 In the past on the way out along the Georgetown we've had a chilled start and ridden 2 abreast more like a club ride. Which is enjoyable however when the through and off starts at the red smiddy the pace picks up and is hard immediately. This means newcomers may not get much experience because with the fast pickup in speed it may only be one or two rotations before it becomes difficult to hang on (which in turn makes it difficult to learn and improve). So i propose we start riding as a chaingang from the start but at an easier speed and then from the red smiddy pick it up progressively and that will help everyone get the basics right. It is a training ride so this doesnt mean easy pace it should start to feel harder but the group should ideally not be splitting before Bishopton. Full gas from the top of Bishy Hill.
 
Points will be how it finished last year - Top 5 for the KOM  and top 5 for the sprint. This means more opportunities to get some points and should keep things closer at the top. Will be a winner for each month.
(KOM is 5,4,3,2,1 and sprint is 6,4,3,2,1).
The Flanders bound guys will be pleased to hear the first week is a practice run.

I will be along for the 9am group with Joseph .

26 Jets signed up for a winter of roller training. Going to be busy in the club rooms on Thursday nights from now till the clocks change back.

.

Here is the list - A lot of names from other clubs that i dont recognise, so i dont know what the competition is like. The gales are missing a few of their fast guys from last year so there will probably be a new winner this year.

Great day for time trialling. Not a lot of wind, warm, without being hot. Clocked a 62:54, which is a season's best, still over a minute outside my pb, but happy enough, given the level of training I've been doing. 
Only downside was one of my elbow pads fell off 20 minutes before the start, and then my Garmin died, so I had to do the run with no telemetry. Given the way my legs are feeling now, I'll take it as an improved performance level.

Sorry just back from holiday and loaded with the cold or would have given this a shot .

A warm and relatively windless evening for four Wheelers to test themselves on the Georgetown Road.  Hard out and hard home with all of the effort being turned into speed and some great times.
David Cowan 20m 31s
Joseph (Jet) 18m 14s pb
Scott 17m 14s pb
Gerard 16m 31s pb
No money was paid.

Doh!
Never saw this post not checked since mid afternoon , at the start and just go for a run instead .

Thanks Richard for Timekeeping ,
Very hard going on the way out tonight !
Well done to all.

Not rode a 25 since about 2003,
A Pb for me and pretty happy with my time although the last 2 miles into the wind then poor surface round to the finish were brutal .
 

Hi Darryl,
Not sure if you have seen already but Peter Dorrington selling reasonable priced small road bike  in FB bike  parts for sale Scotland .

Four riders on a dry but bitterly cold, very windy night. Times in the order they went off:
Joseph - 28:50 (PB)
Scott - 26:36
James - 24:11
Billy - 23:43
£9 to be transferred to the club's account in a minute. Big thanks to Alan T for haudin' up.
Good efforts on a hard night, guys. The next one's bound to be easier.

That was a good Arran run with a strong team at the start...but Arran being Arran it seems to always manage to throw challenges at you! We were setting a good pace until I got a pinch puncture going over a pothole at 25 miles to go...we decided at the start there will be no waiting and so I mended the puncture and set off in TT mode keeping calm not to blow early. 3 miles later I see Jan on the side of the road with a puncture, gave it a quick thought and decided I would keep going as agreed at the start. Just before Lochranza climb there were some road works and I was stopped by the workers for 2 or 3 mins ruining the momentum I had going . They gave me the go ahead and then back to TT mode, half way up the climb looked back and saw Jan catching up...I thought perfect we would rejoin for the last 10m as I needed a good push to catch the 11.05 ferry! At that point it was around 10.30 already so once we rejoined we set off at a good pace sharing the workload and just manged to catch the ferry...don't think would have made it alone. Thanks Jan for the nice steady wheel at the end and Paul and Ian for the team work at the start .
That's SA done 

This is from America and based on 40k TT (25m) not sure of speedbut would assume 25mph 

Couple of other things - Well done to Joseph for a  cracking effort tonight. For those that dont know youths ride and race on restricted gear (i think it will be something like 81 inches)...what this means in effect is when the pace picks up particularly when the bunch is going down hill to the west ferry or heading towards kilmacolm and bridge of weir he needs to be spinning at 140+rpm just to keep up.
Second -  Most impressed by the kit and co-ordination from Billy!

Dry and mild night but a bit breezy ,
Well done to all.
