Usual time and place Weather forecast isnt looking great unfortunately

Bit of a hard one tonight, a car attempted an overtake before squeezing in to the back of the bunch before Bridge of Weir cutting myself and Andy off and then had to try and chase back. Of course the traffic lights were then green so things didnt ease or stop ! Wouldn't have made it on without Greg doing a good turn towards Houston before his legs went...After that just hanging on. As for results - Bit of controversy and a DQ for the Clune for Ian. I wasn't going to DQ however Richie made a good case and i was persuaded when it was pointed out it would move me up a point in the scores KOM - Richie and Sam - tied - 5 points Me - 4 points Did i miss anyone out? Finish - Cedric - 6 Sam - 4 Richie - 3 Ian - 2 Me - 1

Weather has been so poor i thought it best to restart summer

Hopefully the weather is a bit better this week. Usual meeting place Scores back to zero for the June round of the world champs. Podium for May was Marc on top with 36 points, then Galeb 2nd with 20 and Sam 3rd with 18

Well done, full points for you tonight!

Forecast doesnt look great Here are the current standings for May. Marc has already won this month and by a significant margin...but the other 13 on the leaderboard could still make the podium with the right results. (I've not allocated the points for turning up because i'm finding it too difficult to keep track in addition to the top 5 at the climb and finish) Name Week 1 KOM Week 1 Sprint Week 2 KOM Week 2 Sprint Week 3 KOM Week 3 Sprint Week 4 KOM Week 4 Sprint Overall Marc 4 3 5 4 5 6 5 4 36 Sam 3 2 3 4 6 18 Iain Mct 2 4 1 3 3 13 Ian A 5 6 1 1 13 Cedric 4 6 10 Galeb 3 4 2 9 Richie 3 2 5 Paul Mcd 4 4 Jesse 1 2 3 Paul L 3 3 Andy 2 2 Billy 2 2 Stuart 2 2 Charlie 1 1

Lots of attacking tonight with a strong wind. New sprint king in town with Sam being the first to beat Marc in a head to head this year. Admittedly it looked a bit close to call but i figure cant have Marc winning all the points every week Also Richie is now a member and eligible for points! kom Marc - 5 Sam - 4 Richie - 3 Galeb - 2 Ian A - 1 Finish Sam - 6 Marc - 4 Me - 3 Richie - 2 Ian A - 1

yeah pretty sure a cross bike will be fine...i dont know for certain though as ive not ridden the route before. Something along these lines https://www.strava.com/routes/18745158

Sad news

Usual time and place! It shouldn't need saying but remember that in a chain gang you are supposed to ride through and off....not through and continue to accelerate as you join the other side. By all means attack if you want however try and not surge through if you are only doing your turn in the rotation. Of course all of this may be inevitable due to it being big group with lots of recovery and then a tendency to come through too hard as a result. The solution may be splitting into smaller groups but i'll leave that option for now.

Sorry to hijack this thread Paul and Andy but if a few of the guys who want to do the Ayrshire Alps cant make it this weekend would you be interested in postponing and joining me for a gravel ride in Cowal?

Getting a puncture about a minute before the sprint kicks off is rather frustrating What were the results for the KOM and finish?

yeah 6.30 through to September then 6 for the last one or two.

Usual meeting place

Big bunch tonight. Think this is the results, missed the 5th in the sprint KOM Marc - 5 Cedric - 4 Galeb - 3 Sam - 2 Me - 1 Finish Cedric - 6 Marc - 4 Me - 3 Andy - 2 Billy - 2

Hopefully better weather this week!

Fun night with some miserable weather. I feel this will be of particular interest to Paul.... Ian won with a late break rather than a sprint! The world hasn't stopped turning. Will update full results later but here were the top 5s KOM Ian - 5 Marc - 4 Sam - 3 Me - 2 Jesse - 1 Finish Ian - 6 Me - 4 Marc - 3 Jesse - 2 Charlie - 1

700km in 37 hours with 13000+ metres of climbing in Corsica and 7th place overall. Seriously impressive result - particularly for a sprinter! Well done

630 then I trust we will all be seeing a captain of industry on the front to drive the pace rather that sitting in to save legs for the North Westerly that is forecast for the Clune

Who is in? Here are the standings from the April championship - the overall victory goes to Marc with his points come from fewer weeks. Name Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Total Marc 12 12 24 Iain Mct 8 10 6 24 Sam 5 6 11 Paul Mcd 5 5 10 Ian A 4 4 8 Charlie 2 5 7 Andy 2 3 1 6 James 1 1 4 6 Galeb 1 5 6 Alan mcl 3 3 6 Alan H 4 4 Colin McP 2 2 4 Jesse 1 1 1 3 Alan T 1 1 1 3 Iain Co 3 3 Greg 1 1 2 Ross 1 1 2 Billy 1 1 2 Eric 1 1 2 Stevie 1 1 2 Darryl 1 1 2 David C 1 1 Stuart 1 1 Iain Ca 1 1 Lorne 1 1 Colin S 1 1 Glen 1 1

KoM on the shortcut is the ultimate Pyrrhic victory. An achievement that just underlines that you were weak willed and couldnt hack the full route. When i sneak up it on the Renfrew Bunch i go at a pace where i make damn sure i won't be embarrassing myself and appear on the top 10 leaderboard with the badge of shame of a cup alongside my name.

Another good turn out. Will do the full scores later. Marc with full points again...and Charlie joining the super elite awesome group that gets points on the KOM and the sprint on the same night! KOM Marc - 5 Me - 4 James - 3 Charlie - 2 Finish Marc - 6 Paul Mcd - 4 Ian A - 3 Charlie - 2 Me - 1

Bogs bunch hasn't been running on Thursdays so far
