Well done all 👍
Ian and me on full TT setups this year unlike the road bikes of previous. The competition is getting too fast to mess about 🤣

Thanks Dave for the timekeeping!

Well done everyone. Those times again:
15:22 for Iain & Ian; 15:55 for Sam & James; 16:58 for Darryl & Rob; 16:59 for Alan & Gerrard; 17:45 for Scott; and 17:56 for Geo.

Well done all 👍

Good turn out today - not the result we had hoped for with a couple of mishaps along the way like rubbing wheels and snapped stem bolts!
The overall time would have been good enough to win some years in the past - but not this year so congrats to VCGS on a well earned victory. Training starts for next year at the 2up on Tuesday
Geo hope your new bike is ok - Cav maxed out at a mere 1600w in a sprint so clearly not putting the stem under as much stress as you do!
 
 
(I've got an extra medal for someone - not sure who is due one after missing presentation?)
 

Well done all, and thanks to David for timekeeping. Congratulations to Iain and Ian, closely followed by Sam and James.

I think James gets the man of the match. A GT rule of thumb is you can go a minute quicker on a wheel (equally matched pair taking turns - 30s). James to take one and a half minutes off his best must first have been millimetres off Sam's back wheel and second, buried himself to stay there. Balls of steel on both counts. Double kudos. And single kudos for Sam to have been so steady to bring them home.

Some photos from today

Good luck to everyone riding! JWCC for the win!

There has been an official team photo in previous years, normally about 20 minutes before the first rider in the team goes off. This year is no different. Team photo at 10:35.

Thought it worth mentioning another astoundingly brilliant day on Arran where 5 of the 7 riders were JWCC members (although one missed the memo to wear the jersey😀)
3 new inductees to the Hall of Fame were Sean Delaney, John McGivern and Mark Cushley who are all regular Saturday bunchers, repeaters in the Hall of Fame were David Archibald, Richie Provan, Garry Dunn and myself so chapeau to all,
5 of our number finished a bit ahead and took the Island Loop KOM by a chunky margin on a near perfect day with virtually no wind. The weather was so brilliant it was a shame all we could really view was a 700x25 GP5000 and a rear hub !!
The legend grows and I see another double taking shape in my crystal ball. Get training hard because you know you want to,
Forza Arran Forever !
 
 
 
 
 

Huge thanks to Ian McT for timekeeping and to David Cowan for marshalling at the turn. Congrats to Ian for the win on the day. No PBs on today’s course, since we turned before Houston, but didn’t seem to make it any less hard.
The gentle spin back to Amaretto’s for coffee and rolls was very welcome.
I have transferred £15 to the club account.

thanks for the time keeping and marshalling, my first in over 2 years was just glad to finish.

Just read that Eileen has won another Olympic medal in the tandem pursuit at the Paralympics. Congratulations to Eileen, who many of you will remember is a past member of JWCC. I have fond memories of some of the runs when she and Denis (White) turned out on the tandem. Chapeau!
 
 

Ian, Carol says it's ok to use the group photo.

I believe that a number of Jets apart from Sam have entered. Given how well they’re going in the Georgetown league, I think they’ll do a job.

Set off nice & early this morning from my house & got to the clubroom 0855 ...... not a soul to be seen except from a few dog walkers .... oops, have I got the time/date wrong? ........ so rode round the Miller Street estate as I didn't fancy standing on my toad ..... luckily by the time I came back, there were 13 fellow club mates had already turned up waiting ...... phew!
So, 14 of us - Alan T, Ali M, Andy R & James R (Jets), Anthony, Carol M, Carol & David, Frank, Gary, Graham, Jullie, Mitch & myself set off for sunny Troon!
Working well together & setting a nice pace where everyone was comfortable ..... A few stronger riders decided to take longer spells, which was no doubt welcome by some and me especially 🙂 I only manage ONE turn on the front all day ....... riding on the front is so over-rated anyway 🙂
It wasn't as lumpy as last week but still some drags in parts ..... Jullie left us in Kilmeurs, leaving 13 to continue on our way to Troon!
The blueberry Cafe is always one of my favourite, great baking & proper china for my tea ..... how posh! Service was great and quick too considering there were 13 hungry cyclist all wanting fed at the same time!
By the time we left the place the weather has gone much warmer too, so off comes the layers to enjoy the sun a bit.
The return leg just continue on where we left off earlier ...... I think Alan & Graham just sat on the front all the way back to the Bowfield before Ali made an attacked which was followed by young James, everyone then joined in and the descend down the Bowfield (second Sunday running) was fantastic ...... a wee regrouping at the bottom & we rode all the way back to the Johnstone again as we started in the morning!
Brilliant run again organised by David & Alan for leading on the return leg 🙂
Thanks to all for the wheels & company today ...... another cracker!
Cheers & thanks for reading ..... now for some photies courtesy of Carol & Graham
