Sorry Davie! I've had a full weekend of comedy gold starting with a room that was at most 14 foot x 9 foot.
 
For 8.
 
I think I hid my displeasure well and didn't really comment on it too much...

I'm off the drink...

Dislectic? Do you have a spell uncheck on your phone?

Anothe great trip
My report we'll have to start with the hovel sorry hostel 4 sets of bunks small room seven guys never going to be good, plus we got an extra to fill the room
0400 alarm which resulted in me getting no real sleep . Ride to start in the dark was fun got there in good time and all started in wave A
The start was fast and it was faiy evident that you will have to be on the lookout for chippers
About ten mile in you hit an underpass up to this me and Paul were dragging Charlie Tom and Porto up to Alex don't know what my watts were but felt hard but comfy under the underpass a massive crash happened Alan came down but got up ok I went to the right and just about thinking that was close a numb nuts ran straight into my hip , though I managed to stay upright until the guy that hit me fell off and his bike took me down
Back up carried on with one sore hip shoulder and arm caught Alan who told me the rest were caught in the crash so sauntered for a while but never saw them
Was now suffering cramp and stiff leg carried on on my own by now holding a wheel was not an option was looking to do about 420 think I was 5 40
Sportive are really becoming too dangerous more than half don't have a clue how to ride in a bunch
One numpty whilst trying to take a selfie took out about 8 riders he stayed upright

Billy u drunk? Never went down in tunnel crash or spoke to you during the ride.

Clarify nearly went down and Alex not drunk blind and dislectic

Bulky Billy, you are a true flandrian.
 
Can you not hear the flandrian bagpipes calling you home?
 
Some of these guys struggle to get up the Haylie.
They'll never make it up these alpine climbs.
 
I laugh in your general direction.
 
HahHahahahahahahHahahahahahahaha

Enjoy your painting, Ginty.

Can't get away for a week. Can maybe do a weekend.

Was talking to/at Darryl last night and we thought it would be a jolly wheeze to have a cheeky wee night out to celebrate how brilliant I am.
 
Of course you can (briefly) discuss other topics but I can't think why you would want to and, lets face it, talking about my utter excellence at cycling could take all night.
 
So we were thinking that Amaretto in Bridge of Weir(d) would be a good venue. Darryl suggested riding out and back as "it's just a ride along the track" but that has an eerie ring of famous last words about it as they sell booze. I'm sure we could share taxis. 
 
A nice dinner with a few goblets of mead would be a fine way to round off the cycling year, nes pas?
 
We can then head up the hill to MC Charlie's where he will amaze us by hitting the decks and blasting out some of his favourite hot trance and techno beats.
 
I'm thinking Friday 11th of September. 
 
Could anyone that wants to go let me know on this thread and I'll book tables.
 
Of course this is open to ALL club members and their friends and family.
 
Bonjour.

Excellent idea! Allows all groups to meet up.
I will, of course, be representing the over 60s as a fine example that age is no barrier to exemplary performance on a bike!

I aim to do a PowerPoint presentation on the night.
 
Slide show too. Obviously.
 
Table for two so far.

Chapeau

Thought everyone was going well then Fabian Montague turned up & gave us all a caning
 
Good night for it & have to say I'm loving my cycling just now

Anyone for Largs ?

Sounds good.

I think they have Marcel Kittel doing an advert too. Took me three watches to figure out he was saying "I like my hair" I like his hair too.
 
He does look like a cross between Ross Toole & Dolph Lungren tho.
 
As for Degenkolb, I can't take anyone with a moustache seriously. Especially cyclists. I make an exception for Hitler, Sadam Hussein & my mother in law as they were all very serious cruel dictator types. Not to be taken lightly in any way shape or form.
 
Back to shampoo, I used to use head & shoulders shampoo. Now I just use shoulders

Permissible. No football socks or gents three for a pound sports socks tho.
 
#standards.
 
Mr Ulrich, don't think I didn't spot your cheeky polka dot socks on Thursday!

Graham, thank you for all your work on the confined events.
 
The A77 is certainly an improvement on the Lugton course & (for me) only 10 mins further than the fabled Westferry.
 
The problem (for me) isn't the venue, it's because it's on a Tuesday & clashes with the sewing bee.
 
I appreciate the sewing bee isn't an official club ride but it does get a good turn out from the competitive sorts who might otherwise ride the confined events.
 
That's why I'd like to suggest we move confined events to a Saturday morning. This may also suit others who are a bit tight for time midweek but could spare a couple of hours on a Saturday.
 
I appreciate the dates are set for this year but perhaps next year?
 
Thanks again,
 
George
