George

Hope to be along 

Sorry. Will square you up next week. Will bring tri bars too 🙄

I’ll be along

I’m meeting some folk at 09:30am at Erskine Bridge. Intend to go over Crow Rd & have photo taken at Robert Millar mural at bottom. Normal main bunch pace. 
 

I’m riding straight to bridge so won’t be passing club rooms 👍

I was on Corima carbon with 21mm tubs. Bad choice for this race - crap braking and far too flexible front wheel.

What about that Herdy’s Habble race? Was that not carnage too?

Don’t think I can make it now.

Plan to be there/there 👍

I’ve managed to destroy the front brake on my TT bike. Waiting on Giant sending me a new one. Will ride if it turns up.

I read that the vehicle passed the rider and forced him into a parked car. 

I look like I’m riding 56x10 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Saw Mike Ferguson today & yesterday. Good to see he’s out and about again 👍

That looks magic, Jan. need to work on your position though....

Either way, once Covid is over a night or two on arran with some cycling & beer would be magic.

Update on this thread and the banter on the WhatsApp thread,

Been time limited this week but investigating RGT it looks like you need to subscribe in order to upload a route. I thought I would suss out the free version first to see how it works.

On the subject of a UA, basically the established 20mph challenge for the SA and DA is the exact same for a TA or QA, ie you need to average 20mph from when you get off the boat to get back on. I reckon 2 challenges might qualify for a UA,

1) Just doing 4 laps in a day regardless of time, you would need to stay overnight as if you don't average 20mph for the 224 miles then you can't do the ferry thing in a day.

2) Perhaps a better one would be a 50TA, this would be 3 laps of 50 miles over the Ross so 150 miles and the target speed to catch the ferry would be 18mph. I reckon this would work out harder than a DA.

So there you go George, if you are looking for an Ultra Arran the scene is set ….

 

 

 

 

Hold my beer! The 4 lap one sounds excellent, no worries about ferries and a few beers afterwards 👌🏼 

Good idea 👍

Hi Davie, so sorry to read of your news. Life can be so unfair. 
I’ve found a couple of pics that hopefully remind you of better times. I don’t have the IT skills to edit Billy out. Sorry. 

Thanks, Eric. What happens to the bikes of those who get huckled in Largs on a Saturday morning? Hell mend them, I say. 

Thanks, Eric. I hope the fact they will now be breaking the law resonates with those who until now have chosen not to comply with a reasonable request to tweak their cycling activities.

It follows you everywhere 😂

So what is the £8m facility?

Hope to be out

Tough one -  my first time up it and the climb is relentless. The downhill race was fun, Billy with the win. Think he just pipped me at the line

Doesn’t get points as not a member!

Post your rides up, Gerrard. Quite a few folk may be up for a midweek spin 

For those not on club WhatsApp we are headed to Aberfoyle via Croftamie. Meet at Erskine Bridge 09:30hrs.

bring your mask and stay away if you have symptoms 

See youse in morning
