Apologies, I have been posting in wrong section for last few months. 
Feedback here on PM me, thanks.

Heading for a circuit of Arran this Sunday.
Planning for 9.45am ferry at Ardrossan but need to arrive for 9am to guarantee bike boarding as booking not available. 
So, leaving clubrooms at 7.30am for those cycling down. Cycle track to Kilbirnie, Dalry, Saltcoats,ferry.
Arran circuit is 56miles and down and back is about 45miles. Train options available,  but think there is a rail strike planned. What can possibly go wrong.!!

Phenomenal times tonight in ideal conditions.  Well done to all.

Well done everyone. Those times again:
15:22 for Iain & Ian; 15:55 for Sam & James; 16:58 for Darryl & Rob; 16:59 for Alan & Gerrard; 17:45 for Scott; and 17:56 for Geo.

Some photos from today

Good turn out today - not the result we had hoped for with a couple of mishaps along the way like rubbing wheels and snapped stem bolts!
The overall time would have been good enough to win some years in the past - but not this year so congrats to VCGS on a well earned victory. Training starts for next year at the 2up on Tuesday
Geo hope your new bike is ok - Cav maxed out at a mere 1600w in a sprint so clearly not putting the stem under as much stress as you do!
 
 
(I've got an extra medal for someone - not sure who is due one after missing presentation?)
 

Well done to the team for a third place today, not helped by drama before the start. As predicted, my own time didn’t count towards the finish, but I did have the prettiest bike of the wheelers. 

Good luck to everyone riding! JWCC for the win!

I'm up for it.  Need a partner though. . . . 

I will be there, dishing out some more hurt to Mr T, unless he brings an extra helping of his own for me to try.

2 pairs and 2 single riders on a cool evening. 
 
Gerard D paid and Alan T, paid, 17:39

Thanks to Dave Cowan for timekeeping tonight
I have transferred £21 to the club account 

Thought it worth mentioning another astoundingly brilliant day on Arran where 5 of the 7 riders were JWCC members (although one missed the memo to wear the jersey😀)
3 new inductees to the Hall of Fame were Sean Delaney, John McGivern and Mark Cushley who are all regular Saturday bunchers, repeaters in the Hall of Fame were David Archibald, Richie Provan, Garry Dunn and myself so chapeau to all,
5 of our number finished a bit ahead and took the Island Loop KOM by a chunky margin on a near perfect day with virtually no wind. The weather was so brilliant it was a shame all we could really view was a 700x25 GP5000 and a rear hub !!
The legend grows and I see another double taking shape in my crystal ball. Get training hard because you know you want to,
Forza Arran Forever !
 
 
 
 
 

Well done all, here are the times
 
Ian A - 23.10
Colin S - 25
Robbie G - 25.02
Iain C - 25.27
Alan T - 26.05
Scott M - 27.02
Scott J - 27.14

It is a maybe from me as I am working on Saturday.  I never win these things anyway.

Just read that Eileen has won another Olympic medal in the tandem pursuit at the Paralympics. Congratulations to Eileen, who many of you will remember is a past member of JWCC. I have fond memories of some of the runs when she and Denis (White) turned out on the tandem. Chapeau!
 
 

Ok, so three teams, at least 2 of which were put together on line took part on another balmy summer’s evening, with a light headwind out.
Scott and Stefan 18:58
Alan and Gerard 17:28 Both paid
James and Sam 15:52 Jets
Special thanks to Scott for partnering Stefan on his first run out on a TT, never mind a team TT.
And to Iain Couttie for timekeeping on the night after a late puncture forced his withdrawal.
I have transferred £6 to the club account.
 

Nice run today with the mist lifting to reveal the sunshine.

Sorry to hear this Gerard. I hope all goes as well as it can.

I’ll ride with no expectations.

Hope everything goes ok with you all.
I’ll try and get a run through this afternoon.
