Thomsonscycles

I'd be happy to provide some vouchers as wee token prize to compliment the title in each of the above categories if this would be appropriate if not I totally understand

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend on the 27th it's my wife's birthday and it's a significant one

If you require the voucher give me a wee shout back please and I'll sort it out

Cheers

:-)

Big big well done to all. Alan T well chuffed for you. Big Al amazing Silas is doing the TT at the commits and your only 6 seconds off him and you got more to come he's at his peak absolutely amazing

Bill your the man

Great stuff proud sponsors

Good luck guys

If I could beg you a favour

We have a young guy called Harry Johnstone who rides for team Thomsons Cycles he's a junior MTB and just 16. He's quiet a talent on MTB and he's on the British Cycling Olympic Development Squad. The coaches there have instructed him to do some road races and this is the first one.

Just wondered if you could keep a wee eye out for him and give him a wee hand.

He's a very strong rider and should be able to attack all day long so he could be handy if you guys could work out a wee plan. He's been given Ian sim as a guy to mark and to follow his moves but it could a lonely day for him.

It's ok if you guys have your own wee plan and have your own strategies I was just wondering if and plz don't feel obliged as as I say was just a wee idea and he'd probably be mortified if he knew I was even mentioning this too you lol

Any way dig in and have a stormer guys

Cheers

Allan

I was going to come out but it wouldn't be the same without Charlie.

 

Anything with Glen in it strikes fear into me at the mo purely down to my lack of fitness.

 

Even Glen Medeiros.

 

I still have a soft spot for Glen Michael though

Don't forget Glenmorange George

I did the TT last year or the year before it's excellent fun. It's a great wee event overall

Try this on bicycle parts for sale on Facebook as well George

I'm sure there will be a surplus on laying about in the shop if your passing and there others don't suit :-)

Hi George

Without speaking on Billy's behalf the 1000 integrates with his new Shimano Di2.

I think between the vector data and gps and now the ability to see what gear he was in at any given point it offers much better, more in depth analysis of performance.

Or lack of in some cases lol

I have already congratulated Al personally but it won't do any harm to say it again. It' was a fantastic ride so early in the season too. Can't wait too see you dip into the 19s. Congratulations again. Was great too see you in your new kit into the bargain. Proud sponsors indeed.

Well Done AlanT I knew the new equipment would help :-) great stuff!!

Well done everyone I will make an appearance soon and give this a wee bash :-)

Hello Kenny

If you have a 500 you will notice a big difference upgrading to a 510 or an 810

I'd advise against upgrading to an 800 however as it's not really worth the extra cost as the newer 510/810 have the latest software.

Your route planning will alter to bring you back on track for sure.

Before you take the plung I'd consider 1000 which is the very latest top spec device. This has touring features which will suggest routes for you and pick up others KOM times in the pacer options as well as having a better screen and the most up to date software.

As will everything your club discount will apply if your looking to order one of these and if it's the 1000 you go for this will make a considerable saving on a product that won't be being discounted online due to its newness

Hope this helps

Allan

Martin can maybe come up with Tees and polo shirts if printing is required.

I have a contact for the rest excluding embroidery and the turn around would be around 3 weeks and I suspect also a good bit cheaper

If you want anymore detail give me a wee shout :-)

Thanks to everyone who came to the launch event

With it being the Easter weekend I knew folk may have other plans but was delighted to see so many there a head count at one point showed around 30 so really fantastic support from you all.

Thanks again everyone and appologise to all who couldn't attend we will try and organise another bash during the summer.

Cheers

I'm up for this

If it's the same weekend as 10 under the Ben that be amazing

Very keen to go and help anyway I can if anyone needs a new MTB for the occasion let me know and we sort something out

Cheers

Just to clarify the launch get together will last as long as folks want we won't be throwing anyone out unless the birds have started singing :-)

All kit will be in the shop so for those who can't make it on Saturday can collect at another time to suit

1600 ish until the Chapeau runs out :-))))

I got some hook as described above you can have if required

Ideal

Not long to go now folks

Hope everyone is spreading the word

How does this sound.

Start on lochlibo rd at the canneman (paraffin lamp) head toward irvine to the round about at lawford and back according to google maps it's 17 miles

Wee bit longer but good road surface and some nice long straights and general rises etc

A good time to aim for would be a 40 min or less

Hope you all have a smashing time (not literally despite what big George might think :-) )

Martin and I have really enjoyed being part of all the build up to the trip and we both wish we were coming as team service :-)

Enjoy it and try and get a big JWCC Thomsons cycles mention on the road for the telly :-)

All the best

Allan

Train up from Largs and back down and jump on the ferry. Very doable :-)

Not to mention me and Bruce McGoran on our mtbs dropping the "roadies" :-)

Ahhhhhh those were the days

Let's hope it's a celebratory drink Dave :-)
