BoydJohnston got a reaction from KennyS in For Sale : Road Shoes, Pedals
1 pair Giro Apecxx Shoes - size 42 - £30 ono (currently £59.99 in Evans sale)
If you normally take shoe size 7/41, then these will fit well.
Shimano PD R550 SPD-SL Pedals - £20 ono (cost £35)
I'm going back to my Speedplays after a failed experiment with proper road shoes and pedals. These items have done a total of less than 150 miles.
£45 the lot if bought together.

BoydJohnston got a reaction from JaneF in Sunday 31st July - Arran
Made the ferry with an hour to spare, but it was hard work. That string road is about 10 miles climbing and one mile of scarily fast descent. Max speed on that was 49.7 before I hit the brakes - could probably have hit 60 if my bottle had not gone. Mind you, there was some pretty dodgy road surface and it's hard to see when your glass are vibrating like a pneumatic drill A wee bit of help.
Thanks for all the support today. Glad I decided to cut it short - I'd have been looking for a B&B if I'd carried on.
Hope you all made it round ok and Morna's dog didn't make too much of a mess

I'm planning on being at the clubrooms at 07:30am.
However, we are babysitting tonight, so don't wait on me if I'm not there on time. A disturbed night could mean a longer lie and taking the train down.

Looks like I should make it, but only if the weather is going to be reasonable - too many soakings recently. Thinking about cycling down and getting the train home. More later.

Would love to come, but we have a 1st birthday in Liverpool on the 26th, so we'll probably be travelling down on the Friday. If we leave the travelling until the Saturday, then I should be able to make it.

Good run today. Bunch of 6 - Carol, Dave, Bill T., Graham, Anthony and myself - enjoyed the sunshine as the morning warmed up. Just over 50 miles for myself.

BoydJohnston got a reaction from Iain67 in Sunday 24th April Tour of Renfrewshire & Inverclyde
Can't make it, unfortunately - got family staying over, so did a big run today.
I'll be in Ireland next week doing the Tour of Sligo, so hope to see you all in a couple of weeks. Enjoy the run tomorrow.

Good run and a welcome break from the grandkids. Thanks to Carol and Dave for organising.

Seven set off this morning, Bill, Anthony, Boyd, Graham, Ken (flying visit) Dave & Carol. Extended advertised route to Kilmaurs and cafe stop at Rendezvous cafe which is most accommodating for cyclists. Good quick and friendly service and offer to fill water bottles on departure. Bill had a rare puncture before Kilmaurs. Last one was just after the war. Left cafe refreshed and took farm roads to Auchentiber, Barmill and back down Bowfield hill. Good run in good company and dry weather. Dave

BoydJohnston got a reaction from Drew in Bike Fit
George,
Missed your update and turned up anyway. Fortunately Drew had seen my update and was able to hang on long enough to do the fit. Many thanks to Drew.

BoydJohnston got a reaction from GrahamF in Saturday 23rd Jan. Brisbane Glen & Bagel Basket
Well done, Graham. I would have tried to join you, but the chance of the first golf for a while was too much to miss. Will definitely try to get out tomorrow.

BoydJohnston reacted to George in Billy MacDonald
Sorry to inform you that Billy has the flu.
He's been very dignified in his fight against this debilitating scourge and hasn't publicised his perilous plight as he hates attention.
Billy is such a warrior that I'm sure, with your prayers, he will prevail.
1 like=1 prayer.

BoydJohnston got a reaction from JaneF in Wanted - Handlebars to draw URGENT
Jane,
I have some ' moustache' handlebars in the garage which might give you that 'look'.
I'm playing golf in the morning, but could be available in the afternoon to pass them on. PM me if you want to use them.
