How many riders do we need to constitute a club run? 🤷‍♂️
 

Colin, I’m sure you can be granted a summer bike pass. 😎 or is this you getting your hangover excuse in early?🤢

Heads up: after consultation with an esteemed club friend it has been decided the route is-clubrooms 09:30am-cycle path to Kilbirnie-Fairlie Moor-Largs-BB-Brisbane-Whinn-home.

Hope to be there.  Would be good to get back into a routine of all meeting at the club house and heading off as a single bunch.  

When were you last out? Club HQ now at Erskine Bridge 🤣

Colin, I’m not fussed where we go but road back from Sinclair St to bridge is mental.

Hello, anyone out on Sunday for a main bunch ride? Not bothered where we go but would prefer to meet at club rooms rather than trek out Solo to the bridge.

Would be good to keep the main bunch going through winter even though some of the regulars prefer the “joys” of a Saturday bogs bunch.

I would be interested if can get flight 

Groups going out on Feb 28th & 29th. Flying with easyJet. Think I’ll be going on 6:15am flight on 28th.

Getting a C64?

Hi Mark,

I tried Zwift when it first came out and just thought it was a video game although I believe it now has lots of structured training plans and, if it’s your thing, you can race other people on it and shout “drink my pain shakes” and “you suck” at your adversaries. You could do that while on your bike outdoors too though...

Trainer Road is more analytical and less gimmicky. Over a thousand workouts as well as training plans for sportive, road race, TT, etc. 

You will have to do one of their FTP/Ramp tests before you start a plan. 😩
 
I have a Wahoo Kickr and find it great for structured training that my coach sends me. The only downside is that as it’s more accurate than my old Tacx Flow my watts are way down on what they were.

You could always watch YouTube videos of fluffy kittens on your big telly or repeats of Open All Hours, just to take your mind off the pain.

Really was a spectacular day... the weather and scenery were incredible, the food, ooft… Fillet steak wraps from Gerrard, Cullen Skink soup from Graham, Haggis n Scallops from Kenny Christie washed down with a lovely Merlot by AlanT and completed by a few pints in the Bishy Inn… 4 months of roon the coast to look forward to now, happy days

Yes but can go both clockwise and counter clockwise to break the monotony.

OK

Meeting XXXX  09:30. Will be at Morrisons for 09:35. Going through Houston, Old Greenock Rd, Devol, down Whinn and to Largs via Spango. Not enough aggro with drivers over Loch Thom.

Sounds good, Glenn but going to Billy’s end February/Start March so too soon after that for me.

He does know the routes but I find I have to wait ages for him at junctions to find out which way to go. Hopefully your route guide doesn’t have Tourette’s.

Firstly I don’t support either of the ugly sisters but apart from European games Celtic play

23/11 Livingston 

4/12 Hamilton

15/12 Hibs

First two I would doubt you would have an issue getting a ticket for any part of the ground, however entertainment value of those games would be nil so corporate or paid / free bar tickets would be a most

With the Hibs game it could be better to watch but unlikely to be a sell out so tickets will be available though there will be more demand, I also found Celtic ticket office fairly accommodating when it’s for visiting fans so have a chat with them, last plus the corporate will be cheaper for Livi and Hamilton 

A St Mirren fan commenting on entertainment value...,

Just phone Celtic Park. Wait 40 mins to speak to John Paul or Rosheen who will likely tell you to buy tickets online.

Best not discuss Cxxxxc on here. I was reported for doing so and deemed guilty of sectarian behaviour by our committee.

Hi

SC have free tickets for the Friday night and sent us the following link https://forms.gle/HrPrskTczx83bABo6

I can't make it. Enjoy.

Alan

Looks like tickets are actually for day session. Need to see if I can get a day off.

Not feeling too good so will give this a miss.

I’ll join you.

Maybe post up before 08:30hrs tomorrow if too wet for you?

Ah ken where it is G, are you suggesting my memory is failing in old age and I can't remember as far back as Feb this year

No. I’m suggesting you might not want to stay next to Billy which will leave me stuck with him & Charlie.

Will be going the Friday too. Unsure when, if ever, I will return.

Try to get digs near Billy’s gaff on Calle Escorpione. Means we can meet up for breakfast and evening games of bridge and canasta. t’s near the big roundabout in Punta Prima that has a McDonalds next to it.

Yip I'd be up for Friday early as well, need to see what others are thinking. There is a Ryanair option at 6am Saturday from Prestwick and return to there on Wednesday. Price for bike is higher but flights cheaper, ends up 6 and 1/2 dozen.

 

 

Yes but then you miss out on a full day in my awesome company-all to yourself. 

Paul, I’m going on the Friday. Flights is 6am so will get a ride that day. Saturday flight is afternoon so really a day wasted.

Working , then off to Spain early Sunday so it’s a no from me 

Shame. Would have been awesome to see the Crit King lay down the power....

OK so Glen has called off after a nasty accident with some bottles of wine. Thoughts & prayers with him this morning.

As no-one else is coming I will do my own thing so won’t be at clubrooms.
