Gerard Deeley

Thank you to everyone for a very memorable day out.  It was shame to finish with the train, but in the dark with no lights is not sensible so a lesson learned there.  Glad to hear you are home safe Boyd, I hope it was the same for everyone else.

Since no one else posted up, I set off on my own at a leisurely pace, taking in the 5 'big' climbs, and a cheeky wee bonus hill at Kilbarchan for 45 miles and 3800 feet of climbing. Bright and sunny with a couple of drizzly showers, and a headwind that was only ever behind me (it seemed) on the Clune. Fun morning out.

Thanks all. Good day out in great scenery. Hope everyone got home safe.

Made the ferry with an hour to spare, but it was hard work. That string road is about 10 miles climbing and one mile of scarily fast descent. Max speed on that was 49.7 before I hit the brakes - could probably have hit 60 if my bottle had not gone. Mind you, there was some pretty dodgy road surface and it's hard to see when your glass are vibrating like a pneumatic drill A wee bit of help.
 
Thanks for all the support today. Glad I decided to cut it short - I'd have been looking for a B&B if I'd carried on.
 
Hope you all made it round ok and Morna's dog didn't make too much of a mess

I did get those clamps from Evans and they have worked a treat. A bit longer and lower than the old set up so I will need to work out my beat position. I could do with a couple of flush head bolts, if anyone has them.

What time will you be passing through BOW, Sunday Morning?
I'll meet you there rather than head to Miller Street, 7:30 is a bit too early

Looks like I should make it, but only if the weather is going to be reasonable - too many soakings recently. Thinking about cycling down and getting the train home. More later.

Cheers, Gerard.
 
OK. As no-one else indicated an intention to ride, I'm going to spare myself a 20-mile round trip in the rain. I'll go for a wee birl on this side of the river instead.

I'll ride, but may require oxygen after two weeks off.

I'm definitely going to timekeep.

Ok no prob Graham. Thank you

That's me paid up, and I have my Water Bottle Thanks Carol
 
See you all on Sunday

I will also be at the Clubrooms on Wednesday evening from 6.30pm for purchases / collection of bottles for the duration of the JWCC Taster ride. Kettle will be on!
 
See you soon.

Good effort all round, folks. 
 
 
 
 
21 minutes on the rivet is about as much as I can stomach this weather. Sorry.

This looks good!!

I'll give it a go - weather permitting!
Like Len I will start from Lochwinnoch and cycle to the ferry. About 20 miles?
Eric - good advise about Cal mac.
When we know the numbers nearer the time we can give them a call.
Didn't have a problem last time. Sunday morning not so busy.

If you do Erskine on a Monday I may join in, I doubt I would threaten the leaderboard unless there is one for a tree based, bidirectional manually operated food agitator. It would be good to try and get a bit fitter and faster.

Good idea too!!!!

Good idea. Surface round Erskine circuit may be better tho. Handier for most too.

White bread for the quicker releasing carbohydrate, fat for slower burn energy, animal protein to start recovery sooner. Just make sure you also add some tomato gel for vitamins for the perfect workout fuel.
