  2. Need a couple of volunteers to check the short and medium route this Friday or Saturday? Let me know Cheers. Should be a good one this Sunday hope to see a good turn out, weather looks great!(just now)
  3. Well looks like the plan is back on, Myself, David Cathcart and David Borland(Once he figures out the PBP Webiste) Inspired by and following in the footsteps of JWCC PBP Legend IRONMAN Campbell will attempt the 1200km ride... To be honest when we talked about it in the pub I thought they were talking about the Famous Paris Brest French dessert... Only a matter of riding a 200, 300, 400 and 600km before June, If anyone else is interested in coming and has a qualifying ride last year 300km and in a week 200km can pre-register let us know! Weirdos Welcome!

  16. American Flyers is the greatest movie ever made! 2 seconds another classic, this ones for you Chung lots of bikey mechanicy talk(but might be a bit Artsey for you West of Scotland folks) Not one for the Vegans, 6 part documentary Slaying the Badger but what a story(although Lemond is full of ****) and lastly probably the most realistic cycling movie ever!

Route checking - Each of the routes requires to be checked against the Risk Assessment (which has been done) prior to the event, This would either be Friday, Saturday or early Sunday morning. Note that this can be broken into segments and spread around a number of volunteers rather than one person checking the whole route(s). We're generally looking for roadworks / closures / really obvious issues with quality of roads as riders are expected to follow the rules of the road and any official diversions in the case of roadworks, etc... Sign On Desk - Smiling and taking people's money as they register for the event. Required from 8:30am until latest 10:30am (Note that this would not preclude your from riding). We just need a few club members willing to help before everyone sets off. As ever looking for volunteers. If you can help post up or pm us... Cheers Paul, David and Eric
  18. Yeah I have set up the event on BC(draft) would be good if we could get last years risk assessment and other materials if available? Are prices staying the same? and can we get the Lochbarr Services place booked again please, I could do it but not sure if we have a contact there. The date is March 3rd @100%? Cheers
