George

Me. Either Thurs/Thurs or Fri/Fri. Preferably flying from Glasgow.

Unlikely I’ll be out as have impromptu day/night out starting at 3pm today. Could someone collate phone numbers & send to Eric?

& please post up if you are coming-even if you are communicating on messenger.

There has been a counter suggestion of Callander. We can decide on day as weather may dictate our plans.

Colin suggested a ride over Glen Fruin on Sunday. 09:30am at club rooms. Bring a mask as cafe may ask you to wear one. Stay away if you have Covid symptoms 👍

Yip. Perfect day for it too.

If only folk would post up on here. You will have to take phone numbers & pass on to Eric.

Colin, no-one coming so I’m going to earn some brownie points and do stuff at home. Will try again next week but think the club ride has died ☹️

Get a pair of Hunt. I bought a pair for my Ridley. They are disc but also do rim versions. Hubs are good & freehub noise is amazing. They are tubeless compatible. I would highly recommend tubeless-go for continental GP5000 TL. Not had a puncture in 18 months. About £360

so we are now allowed non socially distanced group rides of up to 30 people. You will have to socially distance when not riding though 🤷🏻‍♂️ This means that up to 27 more than last week can attend 👍 I have a ride round Galston-Moscow in mind & will upload it from Strava if I can work out how to do it. It’d be good to get a big group out. I know plenty of people were out last weekend with splinter cells. Your prerogative but why not get value for your £30 membership fee? Unless you have Covid symptoms. If so, stay away 👊

3 out today and rain come on as we stood, majestically, outside the club rooms. We sacked the leg bender in favour of track to kilbirnie then over to Largs. It hasn’t changed much since last week. Sodden & frozen by time we got there so agreed it’d be a wizard idea to go home the way we came. Home, drookit and straight into my monthly bath. Not many folks turning up for club rides, despite my selfless and Herculean efforts to keep the club alive. Is there anywhere anyone fancies going?

GTR are running a 10 tomorrow evening. 6pm kick off and limited to 50 entrants. Stevie Blom is organiser and you can enter by contacting him on Facebook or via GTR on same.

You need my horsepower on days like this. Give me more notice & I’ll tow you round next time 🐗

Galston Leg Bender. I can’t remember the route so be good if someone that knows it traps. same as this week, groups of no more than 5. Phone numbers to me before we leave. Please stay away if you have symptoms.

Good to get out today with Eric & Colin S. Nice wee ride down the coast with a wheel-about into Largs where our reserved table was waiting for us outside in the sun. Das Bagelhausen very much on the ball regards Covid safety measures. Next week is Galston leg bender. Doesn’t matter about weather as you always get manky, regardless 🙄

I have booked a table for 5 on “the terrace” for 11:30am. Please post up if you are coming & I’ll book extra seats, if required.

We will 100% be sticking to the rules, Alan. Less risk than sitting in a pub or restaurant at the moment. I did see a training bunch on south side of Glasgow that had 28 riders in it though and we wonder why people hate cyclists....

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!!!!

I have Etap on my TT bike and have had Di2 in the past. Di2 is that bit more snappy, in my experience.

Georgetown anytime on Tuesday. Looks to be very blustery so best put some weights in your jersey pockets.

2 riders today: Me 16:47 (another PB) Colin 17:20

Was out for a ride along the Georgetown today & no traffic lights. Road from railway bridge to finish nice & smooth too so race is on for Tuesday. as usual, ride course anytime on Tuesday and I’ll gather results from Strava. Could d be some real events on in August so this is ideal practice.

Cheers but don’t fancy swimming back 😉

Were the roadworks gone?
