^ This is definitely what we need. Let's get things happening and start acting like a cycling team/club. Too many of us cycling as individuals (where is the fun in that) or not cycling at all (entering race's) alex/robbie. Count me in for 4/3 or 2 man TTs

What Iain said... plus you can give us all a tow to the bottom of the Mountain

get yer arse in gear big man, there is room on our cabin and we'll light a big fire at night to keep the midgies off you

Tough race, felt really good as i got a good warm up and the rolling start suited me but when we hit the breas it all kicked off, the bunch split and I ended up in a small group off the lead bunch, managed to get us back on for it to happen again 2nd time up the same hill, this time I was on my own but a fast decent and a good TT effort got me back in the bunch again. The final climb through Kippen was too much and I drifted backwards, I picked off other dropped rider's on the way to the line, i had to leave sharp so no idea where I finished as rider's got dropped on all of the climbs. Strangely i Really enjoyed it, Great riding, roads and scenery pity I can't climb.

Would love to but chungs post about the midges sent shivers down my spine, memories of camping and climbing with a swollen face, Midges love me, I'm like an all you can eat buffet for the little f@#$!..

Alan, the midges were not a problem during the day/ride, it was in the evening that it became horrible ........... so you should be ok!
 
If you're still concern, then call your local Avon sales lady for some serious midge repellent :-)
 
Cheers

I'll keep an eye on the thread as watching the video makes it look well worth while. 😉

Good luck Alan.

Yes smash it big man

Good luck tomorrow Alan
 

Paul, someone's hacked your account.

With the amount of rider's on the deck on the final run it was near impossible to stay on the left side of the road. Craziness. I think I know where the disqualification would of been. The road b4 the final Bend was mental with both sides of the road taken up with cyclist, lucky nothing came the other way.

Horrid weather today but well organised by Ian and his family and good of Bill T for pushing off. David got a PB on hill climb and took about 20 sec
off my TT time so quite happy too

Those of you who read the comic will have come across features they do on clubs the length and breadth of the country.
 
I think ours has a story to tell so have been badgering/trolling the editor to do a feature on us.
 
He has got in touch & promised a visit to do a ride and a feature on us in the next 2-3 months.
 
I'll let you know the date once it's confirmed.

Some photos from La SufriDA. Now a distant memory!!

Please excuse me this time. I've got a note
