Going to try out my 53t 15t (95 inch) set up. Be good to test it against you Billy. 10 spaces available as of now.

I was going well. But Finn Harrod (?) was doing 2000m race pace pursuit efforts. He almost caught me on my 1 lap sprint during his 8 laps. Need a bigger gear. Need bigger legs.

If you enjoyed cycling to Largs you need therapy Galeb. But meantime if you do, the JWCC Bunch are your perfect soulmates. Welcome to the club.

I'm meeting my son John at the Houston roundabout at noon on Sunday for 2 hours. He's wanting 4 hours at 240 watts. Be tempo for me even wheel sucking. Top of zone 2 today with the Renfrew Bunch. Very nice pace. Warm all the way despite the rain. Anyhow if anyone wants a good blast tomorrow probably best to PM me. Don't want to take over this thread.

9 spaces left in the Monday 9am slot - would be good to get company. Been doing 1 lap, 2 lap and last week 4 lap sprints. (My usual Thursday slot is unavailable because of the Revolution Series at the weekend) Haven't entered a JWCC Team Pursuit team for 6 December btw. If we were going to do it I'd not be comfortable without a practice...

I've booked a space on the 1pm drop in session next Thursday. Iain McT and I had a great workout last week. 7 spaces still remaining as of Saturday morning.

10am Ferry. Easy riding in preparation for the Glen Finnart segment. 2.3km at 6%. Not taking up a full can of soup this year. Need to find a minute for the KoM. Hmm...

I'll be there.

I've just booked a space in the velodrome drop in for 2pm on Thursday - tomorrow (just passed my accreditation 4). Scottish Cycling comes on at 3pm. Get to see the family all together this way. Be good to get some company and advice...

We need some of you puncheurs to challenge us on the Hill Race Champs. You Sewing Bee guys were probably going faster up the Bowfield climb last night than us. Definitely more grimacing going on. Us TT'ers are a happy bunch you know.

I had copied John's TT position. Problem was I could hardly pedal. Reverted back to crunched up humped back look for Sam Dooley 25. Got my second fastest ever 25 mile TT. You got to try. Looking good for Rothesay...

Is one week going to be the Club Hill TT? Some of us are training for it...

Club Hill TT on at 6 30 at Bowfield. Pass by and have a shot... almost on the way.

I'll be there.

Nah. I wouldn't call you obtuse Charlie (annoyingly insensitive and slow to understand - that's me). I'll stick with abstruse.

Richard Montague says he's finished up for the season. So I've entered. Marc Kelly and Alan Mcbride? Too flat for wee Robbie.

Charlie P says Sewing Bee at Morrisons 6 20pm. Cmon Charlie P; I'm starting to learn all the lingo and the call signs (tell me you do play the saxophone), but it would be nice to newer members to be less abstruse. Not coming anyhow. Working on my ftp on my 100"

Entered.

Yes.

I've entered.

Can we deduct points from Billy? He had a mechanical and moaned about us not waiting. Or we could have a "man down" prize for falling on your sword and letting the Bunch go for the greater good.

I'll be there.

Posting on Strava works for me. That's how I heard about the club shop being open. More generally the weekend runs seem so bespoke that casual riders like me are put off. Early starts, funny meeting points, etc. Renfrew Bunch might be boring but I know where they meet and at what time. Quite fancy a Sunday cycle this week too...

I can come down to help.

Robbie out sprinted me at the top of the Clune. Do we get double points for sprinting at the top?
