Thomsonscycles

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

Dave, do you not mean the Comedy Store Paisley?
 
I'll be along, although wish I wasn't racing the next morning!

The t-shirts look good in real life too.
Good luck on the trip guys, and enjoy the run.

Allan. I will come along after attending the theatre of dreamsin Paisley that afternoon. Dave. Carol will make her own way. Cheers

Ah!!
Awful ride tonight peloton got split at red smiddy 0 due to traffic. 5 of us did not get through. I made schoolboy error of going thru alone but no chance of catching bunch so slowed down for next 3 riders who simply flew past me. Game over ploughed a lonely furrow to Kilmalcolm where Greg joined me. Bunch then came thru and got a fast tow to bridge of weir. Saw that Colin and George were there and looking good. Hard lesson tonight but now resting till Saturday

Morning All,
 
A quick update on the club kit order. I spoke(emailed) Raffy at Pactimo yesterday to find out how things are progressing. I'm advised that the kit should be getting dispatched today (8th April) and will be in transit for 4-5 days. All being well the kit should be in my possession by Monday/Tuesday of next week.
 
That being the case, I'd like to tie up distributing the kit to everyone the following weekend at the sponsorship launch event that Thomsons Cycles are organising. So, in addition to free beer and food, carbon bling, George's scintillating conversation, with the new kit being handed out there is no reason not to come along on the 19th.
 
The above presumes that the dates I've been given are correct and that there are no unforeseen delays in shipment. If there are any changes to the above I will inform you all on this thread.
 
Cheers

A great gesture!
A couple of months ago I got a puncture as I rolled up at the BB. Dennis came out and mentioned that his brother/brother in law has a bike shop in Ayr or somewhere down there. He mentioned having a few bits behind the counter and I said it would be good idea.

Truly outstanding gesture by the management. So long as Largs is on our route, I will always go in for tea and carrot cake. And of course, to drip on their nice wooden floor.

Nice.
Yeah, I was looking at the puddles we were leaving on Sunday and wondered what they were thinking.
Would it be too much to ask for our own drying room

Guys/Girls,
 
While frequenting our favoured watering hole with the main bunch in Largs at the weekend, Mr Bagel Basket (Dennis) advised me that he has placed a couple of inner tubes, tyre levers and pump behind the counter at the cafe for club members' use, should anyone get caught out with more flats than they can handle.
 
I think this is a fabulous gesture by Dennis and one we as a club should acknowledge by continuing to drink his coffee, eat his cakes and leave his fixtures and floor soaking wet when we leave. Dennis has mentioned on more than one occaision that he, Laura and the staff do enjoy our custom and give the place a real buzz when we turn up. It's good to know we are most welcome at the Bagel Basket, whatever condition we turn up in, and the club's general friendliness is appreciated beyond the cycling world.

Alan & Martin of Thomsons Cycles would like to extend an invitation to all Johnstone Wheelers, Johnstone Jets, their friends, family, neighbours & pets to a wee sponsorship launch party at their funky megastore on Causeyside Street, Paisley.
