    Hi Iain, yeah, the image on Endura's website is incorrect now, the kit will have sponsors removed. Don't worry about the colours, they'll be the same as before.

    Hi All,
    Spring/Summer kit order is now open.
    I have made the usual short sleeve jerseys and bib shorts available.
    If you would like me to add any other garment, please have a discussion on here with your fellow members. There is generally a minimum order quantity of 5 per garment, so I need to know this is going to be met before I make the garment available for purchase. 
    For new members, privately send me your full name and email address and I will get Endura login details emailed to you.
    Any questions, I will do my best to answer.

    Thought I would share a few pictures of my overnighter on Islay last week with my boys.  Just cycled from Port Ellen to Port Charlotte and camped overnight.  Islay is quite stunning and I have never seen such a huge and clear night sky.  I may have to work out how to carry a telescope by bike too.

    As we edge gradually back to semi-normality we are now allowed club runs, albeit in reduced group sizes and with safeguards in place.
    The committee have given the ok for club rides to start up but only in groups of a maximum of 5. We can do multiple groups though, so long as we don’t mix. 
    With this in mind I propose the first ride to meet at 9:30am this Sunday outside the club rooms. It’ll be the bog standard ride to BB in Largs. The reason being it’s somewhere we are familiar with so less chance of any social distancing faux pas in the cafe. If all goes well we can do different routes each week.
    If folk post up here to let me know they are coming I will call the BB to book a table as it’s reduced capacity and bound to be busy, going by the forecast.
    anyone wishing to attend must give me their phone number so I can pass it on to Eric, our Covid officer. I will bring hand sanitizer which anyone is free to use but ideally you will  bring your own. 
    If someone has a mechanical they will have to fix it themselves due to 2 metre rule.
    Finally, if you have a dry cough, have lost your sense of smell &/or taste or have a temperature PLEASE STAY AWAY!!!!

    robster82 reacted to EricL in Scottish Cycling - Covid19 Update 13/07/2020   
    Many of you will already be aware of the updated guidance issued yesterday by Scottish Cycling on The Way Forward for the sport and club activities, the full document can be viewed here https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/zuvvi/media/Scottish_Cycling_The_Way_Forwardv7.pdf
    For now it appears that a continuation of 'social' solo and small group rides remains the only realistic course of action - max adult bunch size will likely be 5 if all riders are from different households, still nothing indoors (i.e. use of clubroom), no events, no confined TT. Maintain 2m distancing and personal hygiene (hands, mouth & nose). To avoid need for ride register maybe best to let ‘informal’ ride groups form. Much of the SC document relates to club coaching, which we don’t do, and activities for U17 (Jets).
    This document from Scottish Cycling is being regularly amended however it does follow guidance from and requires prior approval of the Scottish Government as each relaxation is announced. so we can expect further changes in the coming weeks.
    In the meantime have a good read through and self manage accordingly as there continues to be no official JWCC event until further notice.

    Evening Folks,
     
    As many have probably seen, and many have probably heard my grumblings, the club is keen to get more bodies on the road!! 
     
    To this end, I have designed a calender with all the Sundays until August on it. 
     
    PURPOSE: To allow riders to plan the rides they can attend, have a user friendly clear view of rides and routes coming up and encourage members to ride together.  
    A few things to note please. 
    1. The ride captain/ Road captian is not a hard and fast dictator style post, rather an experienced member who can keep tabs on the pace and any person who is falling out the back.  It also provides a single point of contact for any new joiners/ inexperienced bunch riders. 
    2. I will not dictate to YOU, the bunch riders, where we go. If you want a route, tell me or if possible update the sheet. 
    3. The first Sunday, shall be utilised as a Big ride. Possibly an earlier start, something for a whole day. This can be moved with the general agreement of most members. 
     
     
    This idea should allow a certain level of planning, allowing more riders out and about. For me certainly, I know what shift I am on until the end of time.  Sooo, this means I can see the days off I want, begin the bargaining with the wife, and sort out child care. 
     
    I have set out a variety of rides. These can be adjusted. I will post on a Tues / weds on the forum, as well as put out a WhatsApp notification.  
     
    This is a trial idea and may continue with support from bunch members. ANY ideas for development, criticisms or praise are welcome. However, if you wholly disagree, please be polite and civil and message me directly. I will be happy to speak with anyone. 
     
    Gang Forward!!

    Mr Couttie says he has 13 weeks to get fit and I'm looking forward to witnessing the transformation.
    Oh and don't let Robbie pretend he's unfit. He's still enjoys the physique of a pipe cleaner. 
    Anyhow, great ride today. Lynsey Curran forced the pace along and McT and I got our KoM.
    Best get to work now before it's dark

    robster82 reacted to gregbalden in The Big Summer BBQ - 16 August 2020   
    Good evening all. 
     
    We, the Johnstone Wheelers, are in the very fortunate position to be one of the only clubs in Scotland to have a purpose built clubroom, owned and operated solely by us! 
     
    So, why aren't we using this MORE?  
     
    I'm proposing we hold a big Summer BBQ at the clubhouse on the 16 Aug 2020 to round of the summer. This is open to all, members, family and children. A small fee would be payed in order to buy food and possibly some soft drinks. If you want a few beers BYOB. A short turbo challenge and a raffle would also be held. 
     
    This event would follow a short full club run. 
    So, the question is, who's in? And who's interested?

    Hope you all are okay and that someone is making sure there is enough suffering happening on these winter rides 
    The galloping Galeb is on a bit of a break at the moment and may return soon.
    Merry Christmas for now!
