Form has been sent for me and a friend from work. 😱

James,

I'll echo what Billy said, I am making sure I have my compact on for the climb in the afternoon as I really struggled up that in 2012.

For what it's worth it wouldn't be a lie to say the last 5-7 miles(maybe longer) is a real nice decent that you can get a good speed up.

Jody

Think I'll have a go at this again, thank god I've got the compact for this time(just need to get a frame to go with it 😱😱😱)

How much is everyone donating ? I hate when they don't just charge a set fee. Don't want to be stingy ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

Jody

Looking forward to reading more updates, really need to give this track thing a go ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

Fantastic run yesterday, with my lack of cycling I was certainly toiling at times but surprised myself at how long I held on for.

Charlie thanks for the tow back on at Inverkip ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘. Hopefully this will be a regular thing

I haven't managed to get out much but hoping to make it along for this. With my lack of cycling it would be the 30 milers this year

Jann,

Money transferred today, £17 for cap and socks and £3 for Westferry TT that I forgot to give you last week.

Jody

Thanks to Jann and John for braving this weather.

Safe to say with that time that I thoroughly embarrased myself with my first attempt on the Westferry 😱😱😱(technically it was a PB Al, but that doesn't excuse it). More miles required me thinks.

I can def say that everyone else was flying, or at least seemed that way when you all passed me 😂😂😂

Jann I had the 3 quid for tonight and forgot to give it to you, I'll add it to the money for cap and socks when I bank transfer.

Cheers everyone

Jiffy

Fancy giving this a go and think I'll be able to make it down tonight.

Jody

Well done Al, I've been following the blog and this trip sounded fantasticðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘. Makes me want to do something like that. Maybe hear about it some Sunday morning.

Jody

Yeah cool, is that £17 then ???

Hey Jann,

If you still have some then I think it was 1 cap and 2 pairs of socks for UK size 10 which I think it 44.5.

If there is any available then let me know the cost and I'll transfer the money.

Thanks Jody

Hello,

Looking to pick up a rear wheel, shimano compatible to take a 9speed cassette or wheel set if I can afford.

Not looking for anything spectacular just an old training wheel if anyone has any gathering dust in their garages or sheds.

Thanks Jody

Hey Billy,

Thanks very much he should find out over the next few days if the campaign is going ahead and when they are shooting it. What's your fav bottle of red to pre-empt it. í ½í±í ½í±í ½í±

Hello,

I was not sure who to contact regarding this. My brother in-law is a photographer and has a possible advertising campaign to do which requires a few pictures using a track bike as a prop. I was unsure if it would be feasible but would it be possible for his company to borrow one of the clubs track bikes for 1 day. It would not be ridden in any way and only placed on a turbo trainer to obtain a couple of pictures(which would be superimposed in a track setting later).

He was suggesting either a hire fee of around £50 or donation of that amount to the club funds for this.

Anyway if anyone can help as to whether this is possible please let me know

Thanks Jody

Jann,

Just wondering. I put my name down for a cap and socks when the order was first muted and have totally missed this post so not sure if anything has been ordered for me what with the change of thread.

If the orders from the previous thread have been counted and there is stuff there for me then how much do I owe ???

Ta Jody

Hello guys,

Eventually got a hold of the wife who dropped everything to cone to my rescue. Spent the time waiting for her to google my mechanical problem and online seemed to be saying new frame required 😞😞😞

Posted up on the general section and George has given me an option to try so all might not be lost ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

Hope you guys had a good day out on the bike, the short distance I was on I noticed that the pace was pretty good(emphasised my lack of miles).

Anyway hopefully ill get the bike sorted and get back out again soon.

Jody

Thanks George,

I'll need to pick up cycling weekly during the week and have a wee look at what they offer.

This has made me feel a bit better that there may be something I can do. Had a horrible feeling in my stomach that it was completely knackered with no hope 😱😱😱

Jody

Hello everyone,

Just looking for some advice and hoping and praying that someone knows of a fix for this problem.

Was out for a cycle this morning and after about 10 miles I shifted the rear mech to the top sprocket, at this time the rear mech hanger appears to have cracked and bent forcing it in to the spokes and completely knackered it. It also sheared off the mech hanger.

On closer inspection the aluminium part that joins the seat stays has bent and cracked and I can't see any way of removing this. It looks like the frame (CR1 pro) maybe totally screwed.

Does anyone know of this fault or if there are any fixes as I can't afford a new carbon frame for a while.

Any help would be great

Jody

Hopefully be there at 9am

Jody

Hello all,

Heavy rain forecast tomo morn till about 1 o'clock 😞. Are people still up for this ??? Hoping to make it along, if no one is going will prob just head out myself later on ðŸ‘

Cheers Jody

Hey folks,

Hoping to make it along for 9. Don't wait if I'm not there(it's all dependant on the wee man sleeping right through) 😳😳😳

Jody

Anyone going out in the 0900 bunch ???

Not making this one unfortunately, still at work and no idea when I'll get finished.

Enjoy your run hope it dries up.

Jody

Hopefully be out this week to see how long I can hold on for and try and get some miles in. Working back shift on Friday night so just depends what time I get away.
