Cracking day today. Good company, good route decent weather.
 
Also, really good to see progression from the intermediate bunch to the " Sunday longer / faster " bunch. Let's see more new faces come through!

Decent weather!!???
 
My first road miles since the end of May and the wind made me feel it!
 
Cheers for the wheels. I literally wouldn't have made it otherwise!!
 
Next ride...Marmotte!! Can't say I'm too optimistic about it but hopefully if we manage our pacing then we'll just about make it!!

Hi,
 
Kenny S has managed to sort me out logging on to the forum ,
Thanks for making me and Joseph feel very welcome at the club TT events ,
 
Scott McIntosh,

Paul's review covers a great day out. Big totals in climbs and distance, enjoyed the Loch Katrine road...something different but also during the wettest spell of the day.
 
At Erskine Bridge didn't follow the lemmimgs leaping out across the off ramps to get to the A82, but followed the traditional route round the footie park, maddest thing I've seen in cycling!
 
JWCC bunch worked really well for the most part, got to expect a few cutting loose every now and again over such a long day! Always regrouping.
 
Special mention for the organiser Graham and his family who had coffee and food available in his back garden before 8 a.m. and then a variety of brilliant hot food, cakes and drinks at the end for all finishers to enjoy. 
 

Another excellent day out at Millport. Chapeaux to:
Joseph Mackintosh 1st junior in the TT and 2nd junior in the hill climb
Iain Couttie, 2nd in the medium old group in the TT
Ian McGinty, 1st in the medium old group in the hill climb and 5th overall
Scott Mackintosh, PBS in both events
Gerard Deeley, PBs in the TT.
 
A fairly decent return for the joansin today.
 
I was worse than last year in both events.

I got points on a climb , I got points on a climb , I got points on a climb
 
Those who'd didn't beat me hang your head in shame

Well done guys. Not the best of nights for it. Thanks Gerard for the timings

mental pace is right,good wake up call for the legs, only three strong brave riders managed the whole ride, me Eric and a mental french guy i think he got a bit bored with the pace after the proper cyclists left. nice lad but i couldn't talk much as i was doing a gasping fish sort of thing most of the time. will be stronger next week.

Excellent run this morn, good to catch up with a few folks. Bit of a mental pace on the climbs but all grand,

Okay for me

Is the JW turning soft!!!! Only Alan and i turned up.  Full circuit completed. Must be due full points and Alan getting a point for turning up   

Great effort James!

Chapeau James! And a point for Alan too seems fair
 

 
 
 
Nights like this is why i like the velodrome so much.

Wheelers on Film 3.33 mins.... looking smooth

Great day out with the bunch with a nice pace early on keeping together and re-grouping after the climbs.   Brutal climbs at the end made harder with people all over the place and not getting a straight line.
 
Suffering today with my ribs and back..... plenty pain killers and still feeling it !!

£30 collected for club funds

Really good run into Ayrshire Davie even took us on paved roads , cracking ride

Was good to get out with a group again even though I was popped a fair few times, it is a cracking route even though I chopped the windmill farm section to drumclog out to save my legs.
 
Excellent day.
 
Caught some of the road race as I headed home via stewarton....looked mighty tough, with a fully committed Paul McDonald on the nose of the 2nd group on the road.

Good luck Alan

Thanks to Iain and James hope you didn't get cold waiting on me worst time in years think legs are still in Cumbria
Paisley Velo showed their class starting 10 m in front of us all 5 of us
